More about the Artist series


The Artist series (or AR series) is a line of electric guitars produced for Hoshino Gakki and sold under the Ibanez brand. The first Artist models were introduced in 1974. It was one of the first series of original models by Ibanez. Although the majority of Artist models are guitars, the series also included a small handful of electric bass models. Prior to the early 70's Ibanez was mainly focused on producing copies of guitars designed by other manufacturers such as Fender and Gibson.

The general Artist shape is clearly influenced by Gibson's Les Paul model, but it is not a Les Paul copy or clone. (more...)
