Ibanez AM93ME Artcore Expressionist Semi-Hollow Guitar – Natural High Gloss
Compact Semi-Hollow Design with Boutique-Level Tone
The Ibanez AM93ME Artcore Expressionist delivers warm, punchy semi-hollow tone in a compact, player-friendly body size. Originally introduced in the early 1980s, the AM design offers the resonance and sustain of a semi-hollow guitar while remaining familiar and comfortable for players accustomed to solid-body electrics.
Finished in a stunning Natural High Gloss, the distinctive Macassar ebony body gives the AM93ME a refined, boutique appearance that stands out on any stage.
Artcore Expressionist – Refined Sound, Proven Heritage
The Artcore Expressionist series represents a premium chapter in Ibanez’s hollow-body evolution. At its core are Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers – the pickup of choice for jazz legends including George Benson, Pat Metheny and John Scofield – renowned for their warmth, balanced articulation and exceptional dynamic response. While rooted in jazz tradition, the AM93ME performs effortlessly across blues, fusion and clean rock styles.
Exotic Woods, Responsive Feel
Macassar ebony top, back and sides deliver tight lows, focused mids and a clear, articulate high-end, producing excellent note definition and sustain. The 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple set-in neck adds resonance and stability, while the bound Macassar ebony fretboard provides fast response and a smooth, luxurious playing feel.
Medium frets enhance accuracy and comfort, encouraging fluid movement across the neck.
Premium Hardware and Reliable Performance
Dual Super 58 Alnico humbuckers offer vintage-inspired tone with moderate output, responding beautifully to touch and dynamics. The Gibraltar Performer bridge enhances sustain and tuning stability, while the Quik Change III tailpiece allows for quick and easy string changes. Gold hardware completes the Expressionist’s elegant aesthetic.
