Ibanez Artstar AS153B Black
Allmänt
The Ibanez Artstar AS153B in Black has a 3-piece maple and mahogany neck, but the rest of this guitar's body is made entirely of maple. Futhermore, the neck is set-in and it features an ebony fretboard with 22 medium frets. The result is a great-sounding Artstar guitar with a sparkling timbre, especially when the two Super 58 Custom pickups are at play.
Ibanez Artstar AS153B Black with Tri-sound switch
With a 3-way pickup switch and separate volume and tone controls for each pickup, the Super 58 Custom pickups are versatile enough, but there's also a Tri-sound switch for the neck pickup. You can use this to turn the humbucker into a single coil or a parallel connected pickup. It makes the guitar even more versatile than it already was, allowing for a more authentic vintage sound. Finally, this class A instrument has an adjustable ART-1 bridge and a Quik Change II tailpiece.

I should preface this review by stating that this guitar was bought as B-Stock, but described as
"Traces of use (no damage/scratches)". The guitar was offered without a hard or soft case.
When I ordered the guitar the sales person advised me that it would be packed in a box-within-a-box. However, when it arrived, the guitar was simply packed in a single box, packed with bubble wrap. There was no visible damage to the box upon delivery, and the guitar looked fine when I unpacked it. However, the next day I noticed that the guitar had suffered some minor impact damage to the rear corner near the bottom strap button. As this is a B-Stock guitar, I can live with this, but this does not qualify as "no damage/scratches". The action and intonation, both needed adjusting, and the supplied strings were pretty terrible, but I guess this is to be expected, and I was able to deal with this myself. Other niggles: the pickup selector plastic toggle is loose, and will not tighten, so it would appear that the thread is stripped.
Overall, it's a great-sounding guitar, that plays well and stands up well against a Gibson ES-335 that I own. The Tri-Sound switch gives a couple of usable extra sounds. The guitar is only let down by the cosmetic damage that I wasn't expecting to be present.
