For over a decade, Ibanez has fueled the hollowbody market with designs from rockin' semi-hollow hybrids to straight-up traditional jazz-boxes. The Artcore Expressionist line opened a new chapter in the Artcore history. Jazz fans are familiar with the original Ibanez Super 58, favored by George Benson, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield on their signature models. Although popular among jazz guitarists, the Super 58 works well in a variety of situations, as many funk guitarists can attest. Super 58 pickups are characterized by warmth, balanced articulation, and excellent response.
