The AR is a classic among Ibanez guitars.

Regardless of what most guitarists may tell you, looks matter in an instrument: a guitar can play and sound like an absolute dream, but if it looks like it’s been designed by B.S. Johnson (famed inventor from Ankh Morpork) then you will most likely prefer to hide it from view when you perform.  Luckily for you, the models in Ibanez’s AR-Series tick all three boxes, with stunning looks, voice and playability!

Ibanez has reached back in time to resurrect one of its most requested model guitars of the past two decades. And while true to the original of the early ’90s, today’s Talman brings with it a familiar, yet fresh sound that places it squarely at the crossroads of modern Ibanez innovation and cherished traditional tone.

The guitar builder for the giants of jazz, Ibanez now introduces the Artstar AS153 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar, to answer the needs of the working professional player. Crafted from specially selected tone woods, this guitar features a bone nut, ebony fingerboard, hand-rolled frets and Ibanez’s famous Super 58 pickups-capable of tone magic any place between “jazz-clean” all the way to “blues dirty.” If you’re aiming high, Ibanez has an ARTSTAR for you.
