Here is an ABSOLUTE BEAST from the far East. Freshly arrived from the land of the rising sun, this is a true Gibson Killer with looks, sound ansd feel that will leave you speechless. It features an extremely rare Gold finish on the top, Ebony fingerboard, Mexican Abalone inlays, triple binding and just about every bell and whistle you can imagine. It is the Rolls Royce of Japanese guitars from that era. It is in great shape for her age with some cracking in the binding, a few battle scars nut nothing nasty.
The AR300 is an Artist series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1979. It was made in Japan and replaced the earlier 2619.
The AR300 features a dish carved flame maple top with multi-binding on a double-cutaway mahogany body mated to a set-in three-piece maple neck with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with binding and pearl and abalone split block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 80 humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls, a Tune-o-matic style Gibraltar bridge with embedded sustain block and tailpiece and VelveTune machine heads. Each pickup has a Tri-sound switch with three pickup settings: humbucker, single-coil or reverse phase.
The first AR300s were produced in mid-1979 and were really just renamed 2619s. The only difference between the two models was a modified headstock inlay design. Several changes to the AR300 were introduced in mid-1980: the body became thicker, the neck was set more deeply into the body and the neck joint became a bit less streamlined as a result. These changes added mass to the body and also helped prevent neck dive which some players complain of with the 2619. Also in mid-1980 the Super 80 pickups were replaced with Super 58s. For 1983 the Gibraltar bridge and tailpiece were replaced with the Gibraltar II and Quik Change II and the tuners were changed to VelveTune IIs. For 1985 the ornamental cloud plate behind the tailpiece was discontinued and the Smooth Tuner II machine heads were adopted.
The Marine Sunburst, Polar White and Gold finishes are quite rare.

The Artist series (or AR series) is a line of electric guitars produced for Hoshino Gakki and sold under the Ibanez brand. The first Artist models were introduced in 1974. It was one of the first series of original models by Ibanez. Prior to the early 70's Ibanez was mainly focused on producing copies of guitars designed by other manufacturers such as Fender and Gibson.
The Artist is clearly influenced by the Gibson Les Paul model, but it is not a Les Paul copy or clone.
Originally, the Artist label encompassed not only the now classic "Artist shaped" models, but also other body shapes like the first Iceman models and various semi-hollow models. By 1979, most of these models were offered as separate series, including the similar named Artist Semi-Acoustic series which later became the Artstar series. By then, the four digit numeral model names were also replaced with the now standard AR + numeral naming convention.
Due to popularity of the various Superstrat models of the late-1980s, production of Artist models halted during 1988 (although the Artfield series which contains some similar designs was introduced that year) and 1989. The Artist line was brought back for 1990 only to once more see production halted after 1992. The series was reintroduced in 1996 and has remained in continuous production since.
Cosmetically there is some discoloration on the binding, some ding/chips along the edges and a few fine surface scratches, but overall this beauty has held up well and continues to steal the spotlight in looks and sound all day long!
This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.
