DN Series - Also known as the Darkstone series.Ibanez j.custom - Previously an exclusive custom range available in Japan only.They were not forgeries, as they were never sold with misleading logos or with the intent to deceive. The top end model (the CN250) was one of the earliest guitars to feature 'half vine' fingerboard inlays. 'Lawsuit' Models, 1971 - 1976 As you will note in the earliest catalogs, Ibanez guitars were first 'copies' or 'reproductions' of guitar models originated by several American guitar manufacturers and manufacturers from other countries. It features an double cutaway body with two humbuckers, a hard tail bridge and a bolt on neck.

Artcore Series - Ibanez's full and semi-hollow guitar line.

MC - Musician series - Discontinued - Neck-through construction (except for MC-100, which has a bolt-on neck), with 24 frets (two octaves) - As with the Artist models of the late 1970s, some of these guitars were equipped with trisound switches, and some models (MC 400 and MC 500) were equipped with active electronics (on-board EQ/preamplifiers).

Some dont like the CBS style but for an offset, it really does complete the look. The classic style and the CBS style are both great. The Strat headstock is one of the few that always looks good. The AR300 has since been reissued as a cheaper, downgraded model. Most headstocks look terrible vertically but look a lot better horizontally. Early endorsers included Bob Weir and Steve Miller. The artist series established the company as manufacturers of high quality original instruments. There were various models, the best known of which, produced in the 1980s, are the AR100, AR105, AR150 (all without the tri-sound) and AR300, AR305, AR350 (all featuring the tri-sound). Some of these featured tri-sound switches which enabled the player to alter the humbucking pickups to single coil or out of phase modes.

Artist Series - In the mid-70's Ibanez started producing a line of double cutaway solid body guitars .
