Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AM93ME-NT Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar, Macassar Ebony

For a decade now, Ibanez has continued to energize the hollow-body segment with a wide range of designs with everything from rockin' hybrids to straight-up jazz-boxes. The new Expressionist line begins yet another chapter in the Artcore story. Jazz fans will recognize the Ibanez original Super 58 pickups-the preferred pickup of George Benson, Pat Metheny and John Scofield on their own Signature models. A jazz favourite, yes, but as funk guitarist Eric Krasno has been proving, the Super 58s perform well in a variety of situations. Warm, balanced articulation and excellent response characterize the Super 58 pickups.
