 SOLD  2001 Ibanez AS-200
Influenced and loved by John Scofield
Put up here is the legendary hollow body Ibanez AS-200. Since its debut in 1980, AS-200 has been John Scofiled's main guitar for 20 years. Sturdy build with the highest standards and the best of materials, coupled with the well balanced high/low tones attracted him so much that years later Ibanez came up with the advanced version, JSM-100 and JSM-200 based on the same prototype of AS-200 except a Prestige neck, a side output jack and super 58 pickups.

AS-200 plays and sounds warm/rich and full/lush. Tonality can be played across multiple level by the unique feature of Tri-sound switch (serial / parallel / reverse coil), in combination to the 3 way bridge/neck pickup selector. If you want to play as close as Scofield sound, you may consider his favorite way of stringing, D'Addario strings custom set: .013, .016, .022, .032, .042, .052.

Serial number F0105594 indicates it was manufactured by Fujigen, a prominent OEM / self-brand manufacturer.

Staying absolutely mint for 15 years, she has zero crack, dent or chip, or I should say the guitar has museum quality. The original hardshell case ships along to your door. If you are a serious fan of Ibanez hollow body, GB10 and AS200 are must inventories in your collection.
