The Artwood series was designed to blend the best traditional elements with modern guitar construction. Technology moves forward at a frenetic pace, and the world of guitar building is no different. In producing the Artwood series, we've respected the rich tradition of the acoustic guitar, while adding modern interpretations in our continuing search for the ultimate in guitar tone.Nyatoh neckThe Nyatoh neck provides a rich mid-low end.Laurel fretboardThe Laurel fretboard provides a rich and warm tone.Solid Sitka Spruce topSolid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end.Okoume back and sidesThe Okoume back and sides generate a woody, warm tone when the guitar is played softly or finger-picked and provide punchy high-mids with a clear projection when strummed.Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickupThe Ibanez T-bar Undersaddle pickup accurately translates that full sound to whatever amplification system you plug it into.Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp w/Onboard tunerThe Ibanez AEQ-TP2 preamp provides the extra punch of on-board EQ along with a convenient and easy-to-read digital tuner and 2-band EQ, located on the instrument's upper bout.Laurel bridgeThe Laurel bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body, delivering a natural and warm tone.Ibanez Advantage bridge pinsThese pins really are an advantage over old-fashioned pins. Advantage pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage the pin and string stay put.
