Ibanez AF155 Artstar Archtop Electric Aged Whiskey Burst, 2013

On April 28, 2022 /

The Ibanez AF155 Artstar is a great example of the many reasonably priced, good quality jazz guitars Ibanez produces. This specific model was built from 2013 to 2018, and was then replaced by other models, but they all get mentioned discussions of available and affordable, quality guitars in the jazz guitar forums. A bottom line is that if you need a versatile, affordable jazz guitar (and who among us does not?) this Ibanez AF155 is a good bet.

Martin D-41 Dreadnought Natural, 2000

On March 10, 2022 /

Here we have a fairly rare item; though the Martin D-41 is a production model, they are not common and delivery times for new models can be lengthy. This example dates to August of 2000 and was built at Nazareth, PA.
The Martin D-41 is based on the classic, proven square-shouldered Martin Dreadnought design, and carries the ’41’ grade appointments- abalone for the purfling around the soundhole and top but not the fingerboard tag, C. F. Martin logo and hexagonal position markers.

Sometimes we run into guitars that are just spectacular in every way. This Martin D-42K Koa Custom, built between May and July 2005, is one such guitar. This guitar is visually stunning and has far more than just good looks. It plays very well, is extremely responsive with a full, rich and sparkling tone, and it’s quite light.
