The short-lived Artfield series was a line of premium guitars which offered innovations such as the new All Access neck joint, multi-ply necks and locking tuners along with three new body shapes in exotic woods. The AFD40's body shape is a non-symmetrical, sculpted, offset double-cutaway design with rounded shoulders and a short pointed lower horn with a deep cutaway and a much longer pointed upper horn. The profile shows that the entire body has an arch shape. The overall shape is somewhat reminiscent of the Maxxas series body. File:1988 AFD40 profile.png The AFD40 was produced only in 1988.

| - The short-lived Artfield series was a line of premium guitars which offered innovations such as the new All Access neck joint, multi-ply necks and locking tuners along with three new body shapes in exotic woods. The AFD40's body shape is a non-symmetrical, sculpted, offset double-cutaway design with rounded shoulders and a short pointed lower horn with a deep cutaway and a much longer pointed upper horn. The profile shows that the entire body has an arch shape. The overall shape is somewhat reminiscent of the Maxxas series body. File:1988 AFD40 profile.png The AFD40 has a bubinga body bolted to a mahogany and maple neck with a 30-fret rosewood fingerboard with small dot position markers. Components include a humbucking pickup at the bridge and a single-coil at the neck, an HQ synchronized tremolo bridge and Gotoh locking tuning machines. The AFD40's fretboard is beveled past the 24th fret, so only the upper strings are accessible up to the 30th fret. The pickups are listed variously as Ultrasonic Ref 6 or IBZ/USA. The AFD45 is a similar model with three single-coil pickups and gold hardware. The AFD5 and AFD25 are related models with similar components but different body shapes and gold hardware. The AFD40 was produced only in 1988.
