Pre-Owned 2001 Ibanez Artwood AW200CE Acoustic Guitar Owned/Signed by Chester Bennington Linkin Park

For fans of Linkin Park (as well as Grey Daze, Dead by Sunrise and even Stone Temple Pilots), we have something special for you.  It's acoutsic that was owned and used by Chester Bennington - and signed by him.  The previous owner got it at a charity auction in 2002. 

The story is that this was the guitar that Ibanez gave to Bennington and became his main backstage, warmup guitar.  He used it for a year before signing it before having it auctioned off to raise money for charity.  It came to us without provenance or documention but we have no reason to think that it's not what it's purported to be.  We got it directly from the person that bought it at auction.

The AW200CE is an acoustic-electric cutaway guitar from the Ibanez Artwood series, produced in South Korea during the early 2000s (manufactured around 2000–2004).   It's a dreadnought with a single Venetian cutaway that features a solid Engelmann spruce top for bright and responsive projection.  The back & sides are made from figured/flamed maple with a high-gloss finish.  It's a great looking and sounding guitar.  The mahogany neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays, and easy to play.

The guitar is quipped with onboard electronics so you can plug in and amplify wherever you go.

Setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop, this Artwood AW200CE is in great condition.  Of course the main thing here the history of the guitar and signature.  This is quite the find!
