Contemporary Archtop

The Ibanez Contemporary Archtop Series was introduced in the 1980s as part of Ibanez's effort to create modern jazz and fusion instruments that combined traditional archtop construction with contemporary playability and electronics. These guitars were designed for professional musicians seeking the warmth and resonance of a classic archtop while benefiting from improved reliability and versatility. Featuring hollow body construction, premium tonewoods, floating or mounted pickups, and comfortable neck profiles, the Contemporary Archtop models became popular among jazz, blues, and fusion players. Known for their elegant styling, smooth playability, and rich tonal character, these instruments remain highly regarded by collectors and working musicians alike. At Rich Tone Music, we offer a selection of new, used, and pre-owned Ibanez Contemporary Archtop guitars at competitive prices. Looking to sell?
