Not long after this guitar was built, Martin shifted to slanted saddles, giving the bass strings a little more length for intonation purposes.

Here’s a great condition Ibanez AM-70 Artist Compact Thinline Archtop in Black finish, dating to 1985, its first year. This model was only built until 1987.

The top, back and sides are laminate Birch with a Maple center block. The neck is 3-piece Maple with a bound Indian Rosewood fingerboard.
