The AM66 is a hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 1985. It was made in Japan by FujiGen as part of the Artist series. It is a spot model which never appeared in a catalog; it seems likely it was sold only in Europe.
The AM66 features a compact, semi-hollow, double cutaway body design with an arched, laminated figured maple top with ƒ holes and ivory binding on figured maple back and sides with a maple center block mated to a set-in maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and pearloid dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups mounted in ivory plastic pickup rings, a Short Stop bridge with integrated tailpiece, a bone nut, Sure Grip II knobs, and Smooth Tuner tuning machines.
The AM60 is a similar model with different pickups. The AM70 is a similar model with a birch body and different pickups.
The AM67 is a very similar model; it's unclear what differences, if any, exist between the two models. The AM67 was produced between October and December 1985 and production was limited to 120 examples.
The AM66 was discontinued after 1985. Perhaps as few as 124 examples of the AM66 were produced.[1]
