Today, Lawman Guitars is Presenting...
An absolute beautiful instrument thats in MINT Condition. It's a 1990 Ibanez Artcore World Series Hollow Body Jazz guitar with the Explorer Graphics on the top and Spalted Curly Maple Top, Back and sides. I have yet to see a more striking guitar. Its incredible
It's a model AF105M-EE-12-01. The serial number says it was made in September of 2009
My finder in VA provided this one. I don't believe its had much play in its life. The frets still look new. The only malady I could find on this guitar outfit is the case has one dinger on it. See pic 21.
The guitar came with both a wood top bridge and the shown gold adjustable bridge. We left the adjustable on it. The wood top comes with the guitar as shown with the case candy. See pic 20.
The action on this guitar is just wonderful. We didn't touch it. Beautiful easy playing action with a set of what seems to be 10 gauge strings. I would put flatwounds on it if I was to keep it. Awesome sound as is with the Super 58 Humbucker Pickups. They sound wonderful. Wood tailpiece, pickguard and Custom etched Truss Rod Cover. A lot of fancy appointments on this guitar.
Here's what a search of these guitars stated on the internet...
The Ibanez AF105SM-EE-12-01 is an exceptional instrument from the Artcore Custom series of hollow-body electric guitars made by Ibanez in 2009, which happened to be the last year they were produced. Let’s delve into the details of this unique guitar:
Design: The AF105SM features a full-hollow body design with an arched spalted curly maple top adorned with ƒ-holes. The cream multi-binding adds an elegant touch. The back and sides are also made of curly spalted maple, creating a visually striking appearance.
Neck: It boasts a set-in 5-piece figured maple neck with a 22-fret figured light-colored rosewood fingerboard. The fingerboard features custom block position markers on frets: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17, 19, and 21. The matching black dots on the bass side of the fingerboard enhance its aesthetics.
Hardware: All the hardware, including the mounting screws, is gold. The headstock features an ebony plate and a brown rosewood truss rod cover inscribed with the word “Custom” in italics.
Sound: With its full-hollow construction, this guitar produces a warm and resonant tone, making it ideal for jazz, blues, and other genres.
This rare beauty combines craftsmanship, aesthetics, and playability, making it a sought-after collector’s item. If you’re lucky enough to own one, cherish it!
The guitar has a 24 1/2 inch scale neck, a 1 11/16 inch wide nut and it weighs 6 lbs 13 ozs. The neck profile is a nice comfortable C. It feels great in the hand.
The case is almost as nice as the guitar. It has the one dinger on it. See pic 17. Otherwise, it's in beautiful shape. All the latches, hinges, original handle and accessory box are here. It also still has the case key
The case candy includes an Ibanez Care Manual and adjustment tool as well as the wood bridge top we previously discussed. It's all here for you.
Beautiful but its vintage and used so it's sold as is no returns. Thanks for respecting that.
