About this listing
A beautifully preserved vintage Ibanez Artist 12-string with the rich, shimmering sound and distinctive look that make these early Japanese-made instruments special. This is the AR112, finished in a deep brown Antique Violin / sunburst style, with gold hardware, a bound fingerboard, ornate Artist headstock, and the model’s distinctive 12-string bridge and tailpiece.
The guitar is in truly superb condition for its age. The finish remains glossy and striking, and the photos show only light cosmetic marks from careful use and age. Please study the photos closely; they are of the actual guitar and show its condition, details, and included case.
The AR112 combines two Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers with independent volume and tone controls for each pickup and a three-way selector. Its 24¾-inch scale and set neck give it a familiar feel, while the paired strings add the rich chorus-like texture players look for in a 12-string electric.
Serial number: E815381
Weight: 10 lb. 5.4 oz.
A hardshell case is included. The case is not represented as original to the guitar.
