Ibanez AF195 AV

Ibanez Artcore United AF195 AV is a hollow body electric guitar manufactured by Ibanez that was introduced as part of their Artcore United series in 2004. The Artcore United models were positioned by Ibanez in between the Japanese built Prestige models (George Benson GB10 etc.) and the Chinese made Artcore series. To achieve the higher quality while keeping the price in control a rather complex production chain was set up:

The unfinished bodies were same as used in the Artcore series, produced in an Ibanez Chinese factory.
