Ibanez AS53-TKF Artcore Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Transparent Black Flat

Archtop body

This semi-hollow body has been constructed with a full sapele body, which provides the guitar with an abundance of air, accurately delivering an acoustic sound with a depth of warmth. The sapele also does wonders when controlling every frequency, guaranteeing a tight, together low-end, a full-bodied midrange, and sweet highs for a brilliant tonal balance perfect for any musician. Two classic “F” holes ensure incredible projection for your acoustic sound.

Infinite tone

The Ibanez AS53 comes equipped with a pair of incredible Infinity R humbuckers deployed at the neck and bridge, both of which offer exceptional dynamic sensitivity and articulation to suit a wide variety of musical styles. Capturing every essence of your performance, the infinity humbuckers guarantee impeccable clarity and articulation, emitting every note with complete definition, reducing interference excellently.

Pristine performance

Ensuring that you are never held back the AS53 offers a comfortable grasp with a delicate and durable mahogany neck, while still allowing your hand the freedom it needs to move accurately from chord to chord. This is fronted with a luscious bound rosewood fretboard that guarantees a silky-smooth performance surface, allowing you to fret with speed and precision for a fast flurry of frequencies.
