Ibanez Double Neck Electric Guitar

The Ibanez 2670RE Artwood Twin is a double-necked electric guitar featuring a 6-string and a 12-string. Ibanez is bringing out an extremely limited edition of this recreation guitar from the '70s, the era referred to by vintage Ibanez collectors as the "Golden Age of Ibanez."

A carved solid ash top, 3 piece maple neck, ebony fingerboards and a pearl vintage vine inlay all shine with a warm glow matched only by the amazing array of tones available from the 2670RE. Both the 6- and 12-strings feature 3-position pickup selection, phase switches for each pickup, individual volume and tone. With a high level of handcraftsmanship, and the fact that there will only be 45 worldwide, this unique guitar will be in high demand.

The 2006 Artwood Twin is made in a small Japanese shop staffed by luthiers that made the original Ibanez
models(http://www.doubleneckguitarsale.com/double-neck-guitar-bass-ibanez/). The 2670 was recreated using all of the original blueprints and specifications. Only one specification has been changed: the original Super 70 pickups have been replaced with Super 58 pickups which feature a sandblasted old-style Ibanez "spaghetti" logo.

Each model of the Ibanez Artwood Twin will be numbered 1 of 45, 2 of 45, etc.

Background information: There were two slightly different versions of the Ibanez Professional Series 2670 Artwood Twin: one from 1975 thru 1977 and one from about 1978 thru 1980.

The first featured the old Ibanez "spaghetti" logo on the headstock, another spaghetti logo on the pickup covers, and metal tuning machine key grips. The second version featured the contemporary Ibanez "block" logo on the headstock, the Ibanez Flying Finger design (a hand with butterfly wings with extended forefinger) on the pickup covers and ornate pearloid keys. The 2006 reissue is based on the first version.
