Ibanez built the EKM10 as part of its EKM Signature Series, positioning it as a hollow body electric guitar within the broader Artstar-influenced family. The Wine Red (TWRD) finish variant carried the full hollow body construction with a Flamed Maple top, back, and sides.
The neck is a three-piece Nyatoh and Maple set-in construction with a 628 mm (24.7") scale length, a bone nut at 43 mm width, and a bound ebony fretboard dressed with acrylic and abalone block inlays across 22 medium frets with Artstar fret edge treatment. The fretboard radius is 305 mm. Neck thickness measures 21 mm at the first fret and 24 mm at the ninth. Electronics consist of two passive, Alnico-loaded Super 58 humbuckers at neck and bridge positions. The ART-2 Roller bridge and Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece handle tuning stability and vibrato duties, with a 10.4 mm string spacing at the bridge. All hardware is finished in gold. The guitar ships strung with a .010–.052 set in standard E-to-E tuning.
Owners requiring setup work, fret maintenance, or compatible replacement parts for the ART-2 Roller bridge, Bigsby B70 tailpiece, or Super 58 pickups should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier experienced with hollow body instruments.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
