When Ibanez began building high-quality archtop guitars in the late 1970s and early 1980s, some much more expensive, established manufacturers had to brace themselves.
\nThis FA-800BS comes from the highly sought-after Japanese production line, signed by luthier<\/strong> Tamura<\/strong>, and impressively demonstrates why the FA series models are so sought after today. The craftsmanship, choice of wood, and attention to detail are of a caliber rarely found in many instruments of that era.
\nEven unamplified, the guitar impresses with a surprisingly full and balanced tone. The solid spruce top ensures a quick response, while maple and ebony provide the necessary clarity and definition. The balance across the entire fretboard is particularly striking; even the high notes retain their warmth, richness, and body.
\nThis guitar has been professionally upgraded with a DiMarzio DB103 humbucker<\/strong> and discrete electronics. As a result, the FA-800 is not only suitable for traditional jazz, but also for blues, swing, soul, and all kinds of warm clean tones.
\nWeighing just 3,104 grams, the guitar is pleasantly light, superbly balanced, and plays exceptionally comfortably thanks to its very low string action.<\/p>\n

A rare Japanese archtop from a time when Ibanez proved that top quality didn’t necessarily have to come from the U.S.
