Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93FM Antique Yellow Sunburst

What we say:

At A Glance

The Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93FM Antique Yellow Sunburst is an excellent semi-acoustic from Ibanez's Artcore range. 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.

Striking Looks

The Antique Yellow Sunburst 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 exceptional quality.

Quik Change III Tailpiece

Keeping your strings held firmly in place, the Quik Change III tailpiece works with the Gibraltar Performer 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!

Highlights:

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