Ibanez The Artist AR5000RE Reissue
December 1st, 2007
What an amazing looking guitar from Ibanez. It is completely handcrafted, its got a lot of attention at the last NAMM that was held. It is called " The Ibanez Artist AR5000RE Guitar " and the design work on this guitar is beautiful. I absolutely love the Vine neck inlay on the fretboard and headstock.
It has a super warm flamed maple top and the wood / body of it is made out of mahogany this is super vintage stuff. It has a number of features that stand out, the pickups and bridge are all gold coloured, it has a whack load of switches and knobs to keep you tweaking till next year.
Price on this is not cheap at all, you can pick it up for $5999.99
It probably wont do this one above any justice but below is a video which shows you a similar guitar from ibanez called the Artist AR30
