Ibanez AS73 Artcore Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar

Fill your mix with the lush semi-hollowbody tones of the Ibanez AS73. This Artcore series guitar features a dual set of powerful humbuckers, a maple body and three-piece mahogany neck, offering all the smooth playability and versatile tonal options that have attracted players to semi-hollowbody electrics for decades. All available at an incredible low price, the AS73 makes it easier than ever to add a genuine semi-hollowbody tone-machine to your collection.

Classic Semi-hollowbody Tone

Building on a combination of two Ibanez ACH humbuckers, the AS73 gushes with the juicy tones of a golden age semi-hollowbody electric. Flick the three-way pickup selector and fiddle with the dual tone knobs to dial in a massive array of engrossing tones and textures. While semi-hollowbodies hold a close association with jazz and blues guitar, there's no limit to the styles this beauty can handle. Try some slick rockabilly leads or Beatles-esque rock progressions and see where this Artcore takes you. Or follow the path of countless punk rock heroes and churn chunky power chords through your favorite overdriven amp. The AS73 does it all with supreme style and spectacular sound at a price that won't leave you singing the blues.

Reliable Ibanez Hardware

Perhaps most exciting about the AS73 (and the rest of the popular Artcore series) is the astounding build-quality Ibanez brings to every guitar. The combination of an ART-1 bridge with an Ibanez Quick Change III tailpiece affords excellent stability as do the sturdy, vintage-style tuning machines. With an AS73 in hand, it's easy to understand the advantages of a genuine set-in neck joint. Especially when paired with a semi-hollowbody, maple body, the entire guitar swells with the long-lasting sustain that jazz cats love.
