DISC Ibanez AS73G Artcore, Black Flat

Full Description

Semi-Hollow Body

The AS73G-BKF is crafted with a semi-hollow construction, specifically voiced to provide resonant tones, reminiscent of the 1950s. This semi-hollow design also provides a lightweight guitar that can be played for longer, compared to a solid body, and is ideal for a professional player who gigs more frequently. For added acoustic projection, a duo of classic 'F' sound holes are also featured on the maple soundboard, providing a classic look that many guitarists associate with the 1950s era.

Classic Elite Pickups

Equipped with a set of Ibanez’s classic elite pickups, the Ibanez AS73G Artcore produces classic tones with a jazz vibe. These ceramic humbuckers offer sweet, warm tones that add plenty of life to the guitar, while its moderate output ensures that the sound can cut though even the densest mix. Both pickups are incredibly responsive to allow each note to shine, enhancing your playing style and creating a very versatile instrument.

About Ibanez

Over the past 30 years, Ibanez Guitars have always been at the forefront of developing the right tools for electric guitar players pushing the boundaries of music. For decades, Ibanez designers and luthiers have been the embodiment of this ideology, pushing their skills to the edge of imagination, consistently creating some of the most versatile and unique instruments ever. Although Ibanez guitars have been made since 1908, it wasn't until the late 1980s that they began to form an identity for themselves when artists such as Steve Vai and Frank Zappa began using their instruments. Now with a huge artist clientele across the globe, Ibanez are a leading manufacturer of electric guitars and basses and a first choice for many dedicated musicians.
