Ibanez Artcore AF55L-TF 6-String Hollow Body Electric Guitar, Left-Handed, Tobacco Flat

Ibanez goes old school with their take on traditional hollow bodied guitars. The AF55 Hollow Body Electric Guitar is a traditional arch top jazz guitar. The single cutaway hollow body features a sapele top, back sides. The flat finishes really accentuate the grain of the maple while offering a well-worn feel and aesthetic. The electronics feature a pair of open-coil Ibanez ceramic Humbuckers that'll dish out tons of smooth, warm jazz tones with bottom-end to spare from the neck pickup and high-end twang from the bridge pickup. The neck on the Ibanez AF55 is carved from Nyatoh into a comfortable, tapered profile which starts at a 21mm thickness at the 1st fret to 24mm at the 9th fret. The tapered neck will feel at home in your fretting hand. A bound rosewood fingerboard with white dot inlays and medium frets will facilitate total ease of playability. The chrome hardware complements the old school vibe beautifully.
