Super-versatile Semi-hollowbody

Looking for a versatile semi-hollowbody electric guitar that’s perfect for a wide range of styles and techniques? If so, you’ll appreciate the Ibanez Artcore AS73FM. Boasting a flamed maple-topped linden body, this axe exhibits the perfect combination of eye-grabbing looks and ear-pleasing tone. Plug in, and you’ll be greeted by sweet, vintage-tinged textures, by way of dual Classic Elite humbuckers. And this semi-hollow powerhouse’s playability is second to none, thanks to its comfortable nyatoh neck and easy-playing walnut fingerboard. Ibanez didn’t skimp on quality hardware either — the AS73FM’s Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece give you both solid intonation and lightning-fast string changes. The AS73FM is adorned with tasteful acrylic block fingerboard inlays and attractive chrome hardware.

Carefully selected tonewoods exude naturally expressive tone

Thanks to its carefully selected tonewoods, the AS73FM’s resonant semi-hollowbody delivers killer tone. And that’s before you even plug it in! Its linden body exudes a warm growl with truckloads of definition, which is punctuated by an eye-catching flamed maple top, which adds a bit of snap and bite to your playing. What’s more, this semi-hollowbody’s walnut-capped nyatoh neck offers near-endless sustain. Whether you’re playing rockabilly, blues, or any number of modern styles, you’re going to love the character the AS73FM brings to your music.

Classic Elite humbucking pickups serve up expressive tone

Early hollowbody and semi-hollowbody electric guitars had wonderfully expressive tone that came with serious hum issues. That’s why Ibanez and other guitar makers quickly developed special humbuckers, such as the Classic Elite models. These special humbuckers preserve your AS73FM semi-hollowbody guitar’s bite but ditch the 60Hz hum and other noise. What’s more, Classic Elite humbuckers give the AS73FM a unique sonic character that you’re sure to have fun with.

AS Artcore neck yields smooth feel and comfortable action

The neck of any guitar determines how well it plays, which is why Ibanez selected the AS Artcore neck — one of their smoothest and most comfortable — for the Artcore AS73FM. Not only will your hand love the slim carve of this nyatoh neck, but your fingers will appreciate the beautifully bound walnut fingerboard. On top of that, the guitarists have found that this semi-hollowbody guitar’s set-in construction really maximizes its sustain.
