The histories of jazz music and hollow body electric guitars are closely connected, and the Ibanez Artstar ASH300 Hollow Body Guitar pays tribute to that tradition while excelling across genres.
The electronics are mounted to an internal center block, effectively reducing the feedback often associated with traditional hollow bodies. This design lets you push your amplifier harder without compromising sound quality. Combining vintage warmth with modern reliability, this professional-grade guitar ensures your playing is always clear and expressive.
Sonic Foundation and Resonant Roots
Sculpted from a brilliant blend of tonewoods, the ASH300 yields an acoustic presence that translates beautifully through an amplifier. The materials work in harmony to produce a balanced, highly musical voice before you even plug it in.
Solid Spruce and Flamed Maple: A solid spruce top acts as the guitar's resonant soundboard, blooming with rich, acoustic warmth, while the flamed maple back and sides provide a snappy, bright picking attack that effortlessly cuts through a dense mix.
3-Piece Nyatoh/Maple Neck: This sturdy, multi-piece neck design delivers a deeply resonant low-midrange, anchoring your chords with a solid, satisfying thump that you can feel in your hands.
Center Block Construction: By mounting the pickups directly to an internal center block, this semi-hollow body sings with serious sustain and stellar feedback resistance. Go ahead — crank it far beyond traditional jazz-box volumes.
Seamless Precision and Playability
Playability isn’t just about speed; it is about the seamless connection between your fingers and the fretboard. The Artstar series pours painstaking attention into every inch of the neck, ensuring nothing stands between you and the music.
Macassar Ebony Fretboard: Dense and dark, the Macassar ebony surface produces a lightning-fast response and a percussive attack in the highs, making every intricate jazz run or blues lick articulate and clear.
Artstar Fret Edge Treatment: Ibanez applies a spherical surface processing to the medium frets, rounding off the edges so your hand glides up and down the neck without a single sharp snag.
Gibraltar Artist Bridge: Crafted with a lightweight aluminum frame and zinc saddles, this bridge sits low against the body. It gives your picking hand a comfortable resting place while promoting natural, ringing sustain.
Vintage Voice with Modern Versatility
Great wood needs great wire. The electronics in the ASH300 act as a pristine conduit for the guitar's natural acoustic character, offering a vast landscape of tones crafted for the modern working musician.
Super 58 Pickups: These signature custom pickups deliver a smooth, moderate output steeped in vintage tone, easily capturing the smoky warmth of a classic jazz club or the gritty overdrive of a blues dive.
Tri-Sound Switching: A dedicated Tri-sound switch unlocks the true versatility of the humbucker, offering three distinct tonal voicings so you can dial in exactly the right texture for the track.
VT14 Tailpiece and Hardshell Case: The stylish VT14 tailpiece anchors your strings for rock-solid tuning stability. Plus, the included hardshell case ensures your beloved instrument stays safe during late-night load-outs and long road trips.
The Jazz-Box Evolution
The Ibanez Artstar ASH300 is a perfect example of the hollow-body electric's evolution. With its meticulous fretwork, versatile electronics, and feedback-resistant design, it gives you the confidence to plug in, turn up, and play your best night after night.
