      Why?

      Why is there a particular Ibanez? How did it come about? What does it do? That's one of the most interesting parts of being in the art of guitar making.

      This Web page attempts to answer some of those questions. What does a particular series of guitar do and why. And that's to answer your question which is the most important to us:

      What can it do for me?

      And why is there an Ibanez? We've been making acoustic guitars for fifty years and electrics for over forty. We've survived and grown in the shadow of the "Big Guitar Companies" because we're not locked in by tradition. Certainly we have classic guitars of own, but by keeping our ears open to music as it changes and players' needs as they change, we've constantly been able to offer something different, real alternatives to just the three or four old standards. We make instruments that will take you from your first forays with the fretboard to whatever you need as a mature player. Guitars and basses that will help you with the inspiration of your first tunes, to their recording, and to their live performance.

      Once there was a time when getting an artist endorsement was as simple as getting him or her to pose for a with their supposed "signature" axe. Well, that isn't true any longer, and it was never true for Ibanez. Our artists choose Ibanez because they know we will work with them to get it right, no matter how long it takes. And their creative ideas aren't limited to their signature s, many of the best ideas end up on our standard s, including the most inexpensive.

      Some of our artists come to us with exact ideas: the specific pickup, just what fretwire, even what color. The task there is making sure that their ideas work, and if they don't, we have to figure out what will achieve the same, or better results. Others know exactly what they want in tone and feel, but not how to get it. Sometimes that's actually easier. But either way, it takes a long time, and we are proud of the results of the work that our artists and our designers have achieved.

      But the ultimate benefactor is you. Because ultimately we work with our artists not because they will play these instruments. We do all this work so

      YOU WILL.

      ARTSTAR SERIES

      Seven String Jazz Box

      With extensive experience in both seven string guitars and jazz guitars such as our George Benson and Pat Metheny s, the addition of a Seven-String jazz box to the Ibanez line is a natural. The AF207, is the first full production seven string hollow body. The neck on the AF207 is 50mm: wide enough to keep larger gauge string at an equal distance; not so wide as to be unplayable. The three piece neck itself is made of mahogany/maple/mahogany, the mahogany to bring out the lows, the maple to accent the highs. Much of the pickup work was already in place, seven years of cooperative work with DiMarzio in seven string guitars gave us an considerable edge in getting a pickup capable of handling the wide range of the seven string. Because the AF207 was specifically designed to be a pure jazz guitar, the AF207 uses standard jazz guitar bracing patterns.The AF207 features a spruce top, maple back and sides and is available in BS (Brown Sunburst).
