Ibanez Artcore AFJ85 - VSB Left-Handed Guitar and Case

This guitar is so great to play. I have spend many hours on this guitar including teaching, studio sessions and gigs. It was my main guitar for 10 years.

Condition is exactly as the photos show. The case is worn but still functions perfect with working handle and clamps.

From the Ibanez Fandom site:

The AFJ85 is an Artcore series hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2012. It was made in China.

The AFJ85 features a thick, full-hollow body design with a laminated spruce top with ƒ holes and cream multi-binding on flamed maple back and sides with a single rounded Venetian cutaway mated to a set-in mahogany and maple neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with cream binding and pearl block position markers. Components include dual Ibanez Artcore humbucking pickups with gold covers and individual volume and tone controls, an ART-W bridge with rosewood saddle and base, a trapeze tailpiece, a plastic nut, a bakelite pickguard with spruce veneer, Sure Grip III knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines.

The AFJ81 is a similar model with a single pickup. The AKJ85 is a related model with a flamed maple top and a pointed Florentine cutaway.

The AFJ85 was discontinued after just a single year in production. It was replaced by the similar AFJ95.
