Ibanez - AS53T, 6 String String Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar, Right, Transparent Black Flat

For a decade now, Ibanez has energized the hollowbody segment with a wide range of designs—from rockin’ hybrids to straight-up jazz boxes. With the introduction of its Expressionist line, Ibanez has begun yet another chapter in the story of its acclaimed Artstar series. Built with tonewoods selected for their beauty as well as their musicality, the Expressionist line covers the wide range of styles for which Ibanez hollowbody and semi-hollowbodies are known. The full-hollow AF95FM features flamed maple top, back and sides, and handsome ivory binding on the body, headstock and fingerboard. An expertly crafted 3-piece maple/nyatoh set-in neck ensures body liveliness and is fitted with a rich ebony fretboard with acrylic block inlays. Jazz fans will recognize the Ibanez original Super 58 Custom pickups—the preferred pickup of George Benson, Pat Metheny and John Scofield used in their own signature models. These pickups provide warm, balanced articulation and excellent response. Super 58s are at home in variety of genres.
