Ibanez AR5000RE Limited Edition Handcrafted Reissue Electric Guitar (Antique Violin)
Originally built as a showpiece for a musical instrument expo, the AR5000 turned so many heads that in 1980-81, by demand, a limited number of these fine instruments were offered to the public. Its spectacular flamed maple top, Mother-of-Pearl vine inlay and innovative electronics quickly made this model an instant collector’s item. Now Ibanez is pleased to announce the re-emergence of this highly sought-after, classic guitar: the AR5000RE. Constructed using extensive digitized outlines of an original 1981 AR5000, this handcrafted limited edition reissue features the same gorgeous appointments, as well as two Super 58 pickups supplying the signal to the AR5000RE’s special pre-amp with 3-band EQ. Now is your chance to own an instrument of consummate beauty from the past. Includes special hardshell case. - Mahogany body with flame maple top
