Ibanez AS73G Artcore Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar
Perfect for anything from jazz to rock, the AS73G has tone in its DNA. The linden body adds bite, while the mellow Artcore humbuckers smooth everything out.

"Exactly What I Expected"
Verified Customer

I love hollowbodies, I am not a huge guy (about 180lbs, 5'10") so the shape and style of this 335-like guitar was perfect for me (I dont like the thicker bodies). The tone is superb, the bridge pickup has a lot of bite and the neck pickup can be dialed in for all the genres I play (RnB, Jazz, blues, and gospel). Versatile axe and I couldnt be happier with the purchase. I also bought the Gator Journeyman tweed case and it fits perfectly so I'd recommend that as a hardshell case option too. I opted for the Ivory White version of this guitar and it is very impressive with the gold hardware. Setup and action was very good right out of the box, I only changed the strings to D'addario NYXL 10s. Reliable and fun guitar, industry sound. Exactly what I get everytime I buy an Ibanez.

Been looking into this guitar for quite some time. Always wanted a 335 type guitar, now I got one - couldn't be happier.

Love this guitar! Perfect setup right out of the box. I have had trouble putting this thing down. The sound is good unplugged and amazing through my amp. I'm blown away by the overall quality of this guitar...and it is very cool to look at!

"Versatile Guitar. A Little Heavy. Or Am I a Little Weak."
Verified Customer

I am using this through the Boss Katana 50, as a first time electric. It weighs almost 13 pounds, and the $6 Ernie Ball strap I have is a little rough.
I don't have any complaints, really. The 2 tone and volume knobs, plus the 3 position switch make it able to get a bunch of variety of sounds in your playing.
The neck / fretboard is cozy and very playable. It has great sustain. It's great on the Katana, getting great acoustic, bluesy and metal tones.
Rock on, Ibanez!
