Jet King 1[edit]
According to the Harmony Central press release the original JTK1 had the following pickups: Neck Pickup: Powersound PSND1 Humbucker, Bridge Pickup: Powersound PSND2 Humbucker.Some owners of the JTK1 have however reported finding Ibanez Super 58 pickups... although whether these were later production models and shortly before the phasing towards JTK2 is unestablished.It had a different body compared to later versions, with a smaller upper horn and the tuners were 3-a-side. It was available in Butterscotch Transparent, Ivory, Metallic Light Blue, and Black Red Sunburst.
Jet King 2[edit]
The Jet King 2 (Also, Jet King II, Jetking II, JTK2) was essentially an upgrade of the original. The machine heads now were on one side, and the body was changed to its current shape.
The first and discontinued edition of the Jet King II is probably the most collectible of all the range.[citation needed] The body is finished in brown sunburst with tortoise pickguard and has two Ibanez Super 58 pickups for neck and bridge. The Jet King II models made from 2003/11 to 2004/10 features a 1-piece maple bolt-on neck with rosewood fingerboard and the body is mahogany. The second and most popular edition of the JTK 2 (black and white and red and white) has only one Super 58 pickup for the neck, one Axis pickup for the bridge and a 3-piece neck like most Ibanez guitars. Standard colors for the Jet King II second edition were black or red with white pickguards, though examples of a white body and black pickguards have been seen.[citation needed]The Ibanez Super 58 pickup has a warm vintage sound while the Axis has a brighter and more aggressive sound. It has one volume knob, one tone knob, 'rocker switches' used for coil splitting (for even more versatility), a fixed Full Tune III bridge and a string-thru body construction, providing fair sustain. The 'rocker switches' allow this guitar to be very versatile.[citation needed] Some players[who?] claim it can imitate a Fender Jazzmaster or a Gibson Les Paul.
Jet King 3 and 4[edit]
At the NAMM 2007 show, two new Jet Kings were revealed. The 'retro-style' mahogany body remained the same; however, unlike its predecessors, no rocker coil splits were included on the new models.
The Jet King 3 features two P-90 style soapbar pickups, the IBZ HFS1, and IBZ HFS2. Standard colors are 'Roadster Orange Metallic' and 'Bluestone.' 'Turquoise', and 'Red Bean' colors are available in limited markets.
The Jet King 4 featured a Bigsby-style tremolo and two humbuckers, the ACH3 neck pickup and ACH4 bridge pickup.

SERIES
AS ARTSTARHollow Bodies of the Highest Order
The parallel histories of Jazz music and the hollow-body electric guitar are inextricably linked and manifest in the professional-grade Artstar series. The influences of these legendary instruments are immediately apparent with a bone nut, ebony fretboard, and Ibanez's signature Super 58 custom pickups. The critical eye will appreciate the attention to detail poured into these instruments like the smoothness of the fretboard and the skill applied to the fretwork, generally found on instruments costing twice as much. The Artstar embodies the pure jazz-box and the continual evolution the genre represents.
