General
The Ibanez Artcore Vintage AGBV200A-TCL is a four-string hollow-body bass guitar that looks as if it's been on the road for quite a while. In reality, however, this attractive bass with its Tobacco Burst Low Gloss finish is not a vintage instrument, but a brand new one! Its body is made of maple and features an arched top with two f-holes, and its mahogany neck is fitted with a weathered rosewood fretboard with 22 frets. The strings, meanwhile, run along a Gibraltar III bridge that has also been reliced. The AGBV200A-TCL's sound is just as authentic as its looks, thanks to two Classic Elite humbuckers. Enjoy that warm vintage tone of old!

In fact, even modern reliced instrument will often cost you a serious amount of money. Fortunately, Ibanez has introduced the Artcore Vintage series: a line of reliced instruments with affordable price tags. During the Artcore Vintage process, not only the body is treated to give it a weathered look, the hardware is tackled as well.
