IBANEZ AM200 ARTSTAR

The AM200 is a hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1988. It was part of the Artstar series. It replaced the very similar AM205. Initial production was by Terada which continued to produce the AM200 through 1991. Production shifted to FujiGen for 1992 and remained there until the end of the run.

The AM200 features a compact, semi-hollow, double cutaway body design with an arched, burl mahogany top with ƒ holes and ivory multi-binding on burl mahogany back and sides with a maple center block mated to a set-in mahogany and maple neck with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with ivory binding and pearl and abalone split block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups with gold covers and individual volume and tone controls, ivory plastic pickup rings, a Tune-o-matic style Gibraltar II bridge, a Quik Change II tailpiece, a bone nut, a burl mahogany pickguard finished to match the body, Sure Grip II knobs, and Gotoh tuning machines with ivory buttons.

The headstock shape was changed during this model's run. It initially had a tapered, narrow design with an "open book" shape at the top and a vaguely butterfly-shaped flower inlay.
