Product Description

Don't be fooled by its smaller size-the Ibanez AM93 model has all the power, presence and features of its larger cousins. It's perfect for smaller players or anyone else who wants the traditional semi-acoustic elements but not the traditional size. With semi-hollow, flat-top bodies, and even chicken head knobs, the AMF models have the quintessential 60s look and feel. Ibanez designed the AMF with the aim of bringing the traditional tone and look of hollow body guitars into more modern musical realms.

The full tone, strong sustain, lightweight body, and feedback resistance of a semi-acoustic in an original Ibanez compact design.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds "I "discovered" zZounds about 2 years ago & was curious about their "Play as you Pay" installment plan. I am a musician so, I am sometimes strapped for cash. Without this plan I would have never been able to get the gear I need!" - customer on May 8th, 2012

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (4 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "The Ibanez AM93AYS Semi-Hollowbody is Off-the-Hook Amazing"
Sound: The sound of this guitar is great, thanks to the Custom 58 Ibanez pickups, the semi-hollow body, and excellent neck and fretwork. I use it mostly for blues, and it gets that great, full 335 sound in a smaller body size. Feature: The construction, fit, and setup of my guitar are perfect. The top and back have a burl-flame pattern that is off the hook. This guitar is as beautiful as it is well-built. There's nothing on this guitar that requires upgrading. Ease of Use: It's a two-humbucker guitar with a basic Gibson wiring pattern (two volume, two tone). You use it just like any other semi-hollow with a similar setup. But the guitar is so well made, the sounds that come out of it are fantastic. The neck is not too fat, not too slim. The fretwork is great. The only adjustment I made out of the box was to lower the action a bit by lowering the bridge. I didn't have to intonate the guitar or mess with the truss rod. Quality: I made this number lower not because my particular guitar is low quality (it is a 10 in my opinion) but I know other people who have ordered the same model and their flame patterns have been less spectacular than mine, and one had frets with sharp ends. I think Ibanez could benefit from a bit better quality control. I have read reviews from other buyers, though, who have gotten guitars just as good as mine. Value: I've shown this guitar to friends at the local blues jams, after they've heard me play it and heard how great it sounds, then I tell them I paid $550 for it and their jaws drop to the floor. Similar "American brand" guitars with the same body size sell for $3,000 and don't look as nice and can't possibly play or sound better. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had a support issue yet, but Ibanez in known for pretty good customer service. The Wow Factor: Like I said, mine is off-the-hook beautiful and a joy to play. I haven't brought another one of my guitars to the jams since I bought this one (and I have a lot of great guitars). Overall: This is now my #1 player guitar. I don't ever expect to sell it.

"A new Artcore model you don't want to miss out on!"
Sound: The sound is great. Ibanez describes the pups as 'responsive' and I agree. It tunes and intonates great, due to the bridge and tailpiece. It sounds as good at the 14th fret as it does at the 3rd. A real joy to play. Upper fretboard is literally unlimited due to the double cutaway. All I can say is Kudos to Ibanez, and when are they going to make another new model ? Feature: Beautiful guitar with good workmanship. A little flaw in the binding, but this is a guitar under $600. You have to look real hard to find any cosmetic flaws. The other appointments (including the binding material itself) more than compensates for the almost boutique quality of this instrument. The quilt maple top back and sides are gorgeous. The binding is an imitation of the ivoroid type, most notably used on Hamer guitars. This may explain the lack of 'complete' perfection in its application. No complaints here. Ease of Use: Plays great, sounds great. The neck profile is near perfect. It differs slightly from the AG-TRD series (my AG-TRD has the perfect neck profile). This guitar is hard to put down once you start playing. Quality: See all the above. I am an Ibanez fan for the last 10 years since they introduced the Artcore models. Value: An American made counterpart would run you into at least $2000. I'm not saying the American made equivalent wouldn't be better, but nowhere near $1500 better. In my opinion, you cannot beat the Artcore series for value. Manufacturer Support: NA. Never had a problem with an Ibanez guitar. The Wow Factor: All of the above. Overall: I would replace it yesterday.
Style of Music: classic rock, blues
