Ibanez AF95 Artcore Expressionist AF Series Hollow-Body Guitar
Dark Amber | HH Configuration
The Ibanez AF95 Artcore Expressionist represents the most traditional jazz-box design in the Artcore range. Featuring a true full hollow-body construction with no centre block, the AF95 delivers a rich, complex and open tone that responds beautifully to touch – a hallmark sound prized by discerning jazz players.
Finished in a classic Dark Amber gloss, this model blends vintage aesthetics with modern Ibanez craftsmanship, offering warm, articulate tone ideal for straight-ahead jazz, blues and chord-melody playing.
Traditional Full Hollow-Body Jazz Tone
The AF95’s spruce top enhances dynamic response and note clarity, while linden back and sides contribute warmth and a smooth, balanced attack. With no sound block inside the body, the guitar produces a pure, resonant voice with excellent acoustic depth and natural bloom.
Expressionist Neck Feel & Premium Woods
A 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple set-in neck with the AF Expressionist profile offers a comfortable, rounded feel suited to extended chord work and expressive single-note lines. The Macassar ebony fretboard provides fast response, tight lows and rich sustain, complemented by medium frets for accuracy and control.
Super 58 Pickups – A Jazz Favourite
Equipped with a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers, the AF95 delivers warm lows, balanced mids and smooth highs with moderate output. Favoured by jazz legends, these pickups excel in clean and lightly driven settings, preserving nuance and articulation across the fingerboard.
Traditional Hardware with Natural Resonance
A rosewood bridge transfers string vibration directly to the body for a natural, woody tone, while the VT14 tailpiece with wood cover enhances sustain and tuning stability. Gold hardware completes the classic aesthetic.
