Ibanez AS53 Artcore AS Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar – Tobacco Flat
Versatile Semi-Hollow Design for Any Style
The Ibanez AS53 Artcore AS is a highly adaptable semi-hollow electric guitar, designed to perform confidently across a wide range of genres. Featuring a solid centre block, the AS53 delivers enhanced sustain while effectively reducing feedback, making it equally at home on stage, in the studio or at home.
Finished in a understated Tobacco Flat, this model combines classic semi-hollow aesthetics with modern reliability and playability.
Artcore Series – Proven Performance Since 2002
Since its introduction, the Artcore series has become a global favourite for players seeking traditional hollow and semi-hollow tones without the premium price tag. The AS53 strikes a perfect balance between vintage character and contemporary versatility, suitable for jazz, blues, rock, indie and beyond.
Comfortable Neck, Balanced Tonewoods
A Nyatoh set-in neck provides a warm, rounded mid-low response, while the bound walnut fretboard offers clarity and a focused midrange. The sapele top, back and sides contribute a balanced, articulate tonal character that works exceptionally well for both clean and lightly driven sounds.
Clear Pickups and Reliable Hardware
Dual Infinity R humbuckers deliver tight, dynamic output with excellent note definition, maintaining clarity even at higher gain settings. The Gibraltar Performer bridge enhances sustain and tuning stability, while the Quik Change III tailpiece allows for fast, hassle-free string changes — ideal for gigging musicians.
