Mill River Music brings you a used Ibanez Artcore AK85 w/ Hardshell case! This guitar came into us in great working and playing condition, however we want to note that the knobs have been swapped with chrome knobs with abalone gems, the output jack plate is cracked but working fine (the connection is still very strong), and there are some small dings from use and play from the previous owner. The hardshell case fits the guitar snuggly, and will keep it protected anywhere you go! We set it up to playing spec, and the low actions allows for some great lines and easy mobility!
The AK85 is a hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in late 2003. It was made in China as part of the Artcore Deluxe series, with the full-hollow body design, a laminated spruce top with two F-holes and cream multi-binding on the sycamore back and sides.
A single-pointed Florentine cutaway along with a set-neck made of mahogany and maple, a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with cream binding and abalone block position markers complete the guitar's physicalities! Electronics include Ibanez' Artcore humbucking pickups with chrome covers and individual Volume and Tone controls; there is an ART-W bridge with beautiful wooden saddle and base, a VT50 chrome tailpiece, ivory plastic nut and pickup rings, a spruce pickguard with matching finish, and Ibanez tuning machines. Come by the shop today if you're looking for a great jazzbox!
