The Fingerstyle Collection is a line of acoustic guitar models produced for Hoshino Gakki and sold under the Ibanez brand.

The Ibanez "Fingerstyle Collection" guitars have a typical under saddle pickup but also employs a special block contact pickup at the neck joint. This block contact pickup accomplishes two things; it greatly enhances the bass response of the electronics and also enriches the intensity of percussive hits to the guitar’s body. In order to maximize the utility of both pickups, Fingerstyle guitars feature stereo outputs. When only the main (endpin) output is used, both pickups will run to that output through a mono signal. When both outputs are used, the under saddle pickup will run from the main (endpin) output and the block contact pickup will run from the second output. This allows the player to get their strumming and chord tones from one audio source, while the bass and percussive elements can be sent to a different one. The player can also shape their tone through independent volume controls for each pickup. The Fingerstyle series is a specialized line of instruments offering greatly expanded possibilities for this style of music. They are also a high-quality option for any acoustic player looking to explore greater dynamic potential in their tone.

The Fingerstyle Collection was discontinued after 2024.
