FWD60 Transparent Orange Red Red copyright sprite

The FWD60 is an Artcore series hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2005. It was made in China.

The FWD60 has a flat top, double-cutaway, semi-hollow body design with a modern shape vaguely reminiscent of a Fender Stratocaster or some of Ibanez's Roadstar II series models from the 1980s. It features a laminated maple top with ƒ holes and ivory multi-binding on maple back and sides mated to a set-in mahogany neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and pearl dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Artcore humbucking pickups with chrome covers mounted in ivory pickup rings, a fixed bridge, a plastic nut, speed knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines with half moon buttons.

The AWD72 is a similar model with an arched top and different bridge.

This FWD60 was discontinued after 2006.
