This guitar is an ex demo item and features a mark in the finish on the side of the guitar as can be seen in photos.

The philosophy behind the Ibanez Artwood series is a "Modern Approach to Acoustic Guitar Tradition." The Artwood Vintage series recalibrates that approach with additional emphasis on the traditional aspects. Incorporating elements such as distressed finishes, aged hardware, and thermo-aging of tone woods, Artwood Vintage guitars are able to deliver the character, playability, and tone of a vintage acoustic, without the high cost of investment.
