Ibanez AS93FM Artcore Trans Cherry Red

What we say:

At A Glance

This excellent semi-acoustic from Ibanez is part of their Artcore brand. Ibanez Artcore guitars are a credible and sensible choice for players who may be on a budget but still want a good quality and well finished hollowbody instrument. They are affordable but they aren't 'cheap' versions of more expensive models: they are their own range with their own feel, vibe and sound and that add a lot to the integrity of the Ibanez brand. The AS93FM is an Artcore Expressionist model, which means that is has a specially sculpted ‘Expressionist’ neck carve and a set of PAF-style Ibanez Super 58 pickups. Considering the cost of this instrument, it’s pretty safe to say it blows away the competition.

Features We Love:

Super 58 Pickups

Sonically, lots of ground is covered by these Super 58 pickups. Jazz and Blues are definitely a forte, but so is Rock and Indie! With nice warmth and sustain, these humbuckers are a great match for the natural tone of this instrument.

Good Looks

The Trans Cherry Red finish body has Flamed Maple top, back and sides plus plenty of multiple-ply binding on the front and back to really make a statement. This is aided further by the gold hardware and beautiful bound ebony fingerboard, inlaid with large pearloid blocks. It is immediately obvious that this is a guitar of quality.

Quik Change III Tailpiece

Keeping your strings held firmly in place, the Quik Change III tailpiece works with the ART-1 bridge to create an effortless playing experience. It also makes string changes quick and easy, something they maybe had in mind when they came up with the name!

Pros:

• An impressive looking guitar with tones to match
• Can be used to perform a wide variety of styles
• Comfortable and easy to play
