WEF from 2103, Ibanez does not delineate its upper end Artcore models as a 'Custom' offering (remember the AF1XX/ AS1XX models?). This year they are referred to as the Artstar models, the AS153(L) & AF155(R) are pictured here (S= semi-hollow/ F= full hollow). There are no major changes to observe but two- fretboards are now ebony, the scale length is now a tad shorter at 24.7". In terms of looks- splendid! But that pickguard is acquired taste.
