2008 Ibanez J Craft Prestige Artist Series AR300RE Cherry Sunburst, Near-Mint w/ Super 58, Case

2008 Ibanez J Craft Prestige Artist Series AR300RE Cherry Sunburst, Near-Mint w/ Super 58, Case

Up for sale, a 2008 Ibanez J Craft Prestige Artist Series AR300RE in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and owner’s manual. This rare and discontinued J. Craft Prestige model was crafted at the Fujigen factory in Japan as an updated take on the classic AR300 platform, featuring Super 58 humbuckers with Tri-Sound switching, gold-plated hardware including a Gibraltar bridge with sustain block insert, and a gloss Cherry Sunburst finish.

Tonewoods include a stunning flame maple top on a solid mahogany body, three-piece maple neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard. The Super 58 humbuckers are warm, powerful, and articulate: the bridge pickup has great midrange growl and authority, and the neck pickup is fat and clear with a sweetness ideal for lead work. Each humbucker has a dedicated Tri-Sound mini-toggle, offering two alternate tonal options including single sparkle (coil tap) or rewiring the coils in parallel for a bright, chiming sound that remains hum-cancelling. This AR300RE weighs 9lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

Neck Specs:

-Wood: Maple (three-piece)
-Shape: AR Prestige (slender C), measuring .800” 1st fret, .885” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, 22-fret, abalone/pearloid split block inlays
-Frets: Medium jumbo, pristine
-Scale Length: 24 3/4”
-Nut: 1 11/16”, bone
-Tuners: Gotoh, pearloid buttons
-Serialization: F08-prefix (Fujigen, 2008)

Body Specs:

-Wood: Flame Maple, Mahogany
-Pickups: Super 58 humbucker x2
-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Tri-Sound mini-toggle x2, Three-way pickup selector
-Hardware: Gibraltar bridge with brass sustain block insert, Quik Change tailpiece
-Plastics: Sure Grip II knobs, cream pickup surrounds and switch tip

The gloss Cherry Sunburst finish highlights the tight, uniform figuring in the flame maple top, with just a few tiny dings on the back. The gloss on the neck profile is flawless.

The original hardshell case is included, along with the owner’s manual.
