Description
The Ibanez ASH300 is a professional grade semi acoustic guitar designed to perform effortlessly across a wide range of musical styles. From jazz and blues to rock, fusion, and beyond, the AS series is renowned for its versatility, combining hollow body warmth with the sustain and feedback control of a solid centre block.
As part of the prestigious Artstar range, the ASH300 draws direct inspiration from classic jazz guitars while embracing modern refinement. Pickups are mounted directly to the centre block, enhancing sustain and minimising unwanted feedback, making this an equally capable instrument for studio recording and live performance.

Every detail of the ASH300 is crafted with this heritage in mind, from its premium tonewoods to its refined fretwork and elegant appointments. The result is a guitar that delivers traditional character with modern reliability and playability, often exceeding expectations for instruments in its class.
Main Features
3 Piece Nyatoh and Maple Neck

Macassar Ebony Fretboard
The Macassar ebony fretboard offers tight lows, focused mids, and a strong, articulate high end. Its fast response and rich sustain contribute to the ASH300’s clarity and dynamic sensitivity.
Medium Frets with Artstar Fret Edge Treatment
