Ibanez first introduced Artcore back in 2002 and it has remained a workhorse hollow-body guitar for musicians all over the world ever since.  The Artcore's combination of quality workmanship and affordability has created legions of devoted fans from diverse genres as blues, country, rock and jazz.  Artcore offers musicians the purity of an old-school jazz-box or a hybrid semi-hollow rocker.  The line is highly respected for its tone, sustain and, expressive playability.
