On the back of the guitar you see a battery compartment which also looks genuine. The guitar also has (or had, just have pics) an active electronic. As far as it can be seen from the pictures, the pickup routing is genuine and not some aftermarket modification. Since the hardware of the AR50 was chrome too, the base model for this guitar could have been the AR50 which only was available with solid coating, not with Antique Violin finish like this axe.īut what catches the eyes immediately is the third single coil pickup in the middle made by Seymour Duncan. The bridge is a Gibraltar I type, but the tailpiece is not Gibraltar, it’s the same type as it used to be on the AR50. Tuners apparently have been changed but at least without drilling extra holes. It has no cloud ornament, also no drill holes can bee seen where cloud might have been. It also seems to have the thinner body style like the Artists until 1979 and its predecessors, ther 2618/2619. I just have some pictures available, so some statements can only be derived from the pictures.īut it’s not an AR-100 or 300, since the hardware is Chrome, not Gold as all the other Artists used to have. What we have here is an Ibanez Artist built in 1981.
