Ibanez AK95 Artcore Electric Guitar

Maybe the most traditional of the Artcores. The true full-hollow AK eschews the brighter sound of maple tops and metal bridges used in most of Artcores. In their place are a spruce top and all-wood bridge for the warmer, traditional sound favored in small group and jazz trio formats.

Ibanez Artcore

Why make full and semi-acoustic guitars? They’ve never been as popular as the more common solid-bodies. They take more time to build. They take more time to set-up and inspect. So why has Ibanez remained fully committed over four decades to making full and semi-acoustic guitars? Because making jazz guitars - like playing jazz - is more about love than money. And Ibanez loves jazz and they love making jazz guitars. And you know, if you’ve ever played a "jazz box," that nothing else sounds or plays like one.
