SKU: AS93FM-TCD

Product Description

The Artcore series from Ibanez has been a long-standing staple of their catalogue. Although the company are most renowned for their cutting-edge instruments aimed at hard rock and metal players, their Artcore line is for the old-school jazz cats and blues players. With premium specifications and a traditional construction, the AS93FM-TCD is an elegant guitar that offers far more than its modest price suggests.

Construction

The semi-hollow Flamed Maple body provides a super-bright and vibrant sound, with excellent resonance and acoustic-like projection. For chord-based playing, you'll get plenty of mid-range clarity and a sparkly top-end that'll easily cut through a busy mix. 

Paired with a 3-piece Mahogany/Maple neck, you can expect a sturdy-feeling neck which will stay solid in contrasting conditions and temperatures. The tonal qualities of the Mahogany will offer some low-end warmth, making this a full-bodied and balanced-sounding instrument.

Electronics

The AS83-STE sports a pair of medium-output Super 58 humbuckers, pickups that really lend themselves to jazz, blues and even rock. With Alnico magnets, these pickups have a pure and clear quality, with a rounded tone that's perfect for jazzy chords. Add some overdrive, and you'll achieve an incredibly smooth lead tone with the neck humbucker, and a bright sound with the bridge humbucker.

The guitar is exactly what I was looking for. A 335 style guitar with a slightly smaller body. Unlike most Ibanez necks, this has a bit more meat on it, very much like a Gibson neck. I've taken one star off because the frets needed a polish. They still had marks left from levelling and, you could feel the strings dragging when bending. Luckily I could fix that myself. I've been playing for 30+ years and have owned several USA made guitars. I'd definitely recommend the AS93, if your looking for this style of guitar.

Guitar is great finish superb sound excellent set up played straight out of box my only hiccup is that hard/sharp edge of lower bout causes my rib to feel sore hope I get over it or will have to change for a strat ?? Smaller body and rounded lower bout ,I’m sure Andertons will be able to change within 30 day range if kneed be.
