This one is a gem.
Contract manufactured in 2001 by Cort Guitar Co., So. Korea.
Exceptional workmanship and the famous Super-58 pickups.
It is at the same quality and sound as the prized Japanese Ibanez models of the 1980s. I know because I used to own a 1982 AS-100 from that era.
The Super -58s are glorious - full, clear, juicy, responsive - they do everything great, from jazz to metal chug. Everything functions as it should. Selling in order to buy a nylon electric for the type of music play these days.
- Slightly slimmer neck than its Japanese predecessors - excellent for smaller fingers and fast solo runs.
- Beautiful mother of pearl inlay dots.
- 43 mm nut, medium frets, and 12-inch fretboard radius.
- Minimal fret wear, you can't even see it.
-Excellent low action, no buzz
- top quality Grover tuning pegs.
Couple of small scratches in the back - see pics.
Offers considered.
See the enclosed video of a similar instrument. The guy is a talker but he's got a good sound to demonstrate AS-80 gorgeous sound.
