The Ibanez GR, or Ghostrider is a series of electric guitars produced by Ibanez. Ibanez first produced the Ghostrider prototypes in their Los Angeles Custom Shop.[1] Structurally, it resembles the Ibanez Artist (AR) guitars of the 1970s. The neck has the same width and 243⁄4" scale length as the Artist but Ibanez reduced the depth of the body-top arch to produce a flatter profile more like the modern guitars they were producing in the Ibanez RG series guitars.
