2013 SAS300 VLS 12 01
SAS300 Violin Sunburst Red copyright sprite

The SAS300 is an Artstar Solid Top series hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in mid 2013. It was made in China.

The SAS300 is a sort of hybrid of the semi-hollow AS200 and the full-hollow AF200. It features a full-hollow, double cutaway body design with a solid spruce top with ƒ holes and ivory multi-binding on flamed maple back and sides mated to a set-in maple and walnut neck with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with ivory binding and abalone block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups with gold covers and individual volume and tone controls and a Tri-sound switch for the neck, a Tune-o-matic style ART-1 bridge, a trapeze tailpiece, a bone nut, a bakelite pickguard with rosewood veneer, rosewood knobs, and Ibanez die-cast tuning machines.

This SAS300 was discontinued after 2014.
