Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AG85-BKF Black Flat Hollowbody

General

Classically supple Jazz licks and sultry chords are put right in your grubby mitts with the shockingly inexpensive AG85-BKF. This Ibanez-made hollowbody is finished in a satisfyingly vintage matt black and mounted with gold hardware and luckily, the sound is there to match. The basswood body combines with a maple neck and hybrid ebony and Nyatoh fretboard to shape a warm sound with a healthy layer of brightness that's then faithfully amplified by a pair of highly dynamic Magic Touch Mini humbuckers. The Expressionist neck sits comfortably in the fret-hand and fully accommodates any willing virtuoso and when dealing with this level of playability, sound quality, look and build, who wouldn't be willing.
