Ibanez Artstar AS253BM-TCR (Transparent Cherry Red)

Description: SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! This Artstar would be a fabulous instrument for any guitarist! I have loved owning this guitar these past few years. I've only played it a dozen times. Sadly, it sat quietly in the case for most of its life. It plays so smoothly like butter for its value. Although most may view this as a Jazz guitar with its semi-hollow body, its versatility is phenomenal, particularly because of its variability in sound from the humbucker pickups. This guitar will come in the case.

It was purchased brand new in 2015 at Guitar Center. *Ibanez has discontinued manufacturing this model after 2016. It's impossible to find the AS253BM on the Ibanez website as well. *This guitar has been taken care of very well. It recently went through a "Guitar Center Platinum Setup." A platinum setup includes the following: "The Platinum Setup combines our Signature Setup with a full detailing spa treatment, resulting in the ultimate cleaning and maintenance service for stringed instruments. We have partnered with Music Nomad, a well-adored equipment care company, to offer a full hardware cleaning, clay bar, and waxing suite to our customers. The result of this system is an instrument with a finish that is much cleaner, shinier, and more protected from future wear. The difference is especially noticeable on the neck's finish, making it as smooth and fast-playing as a brand new instrument."
