When Artcore guitars debuted in summer 2002, they turned the music industry upside down. No longer were full and semi-acoustic guitars just big expensive jazz boxes for jazz players. With Artcore guitars you get an amazingly affordable price plus the quality and tone you expect from Ibanez, the guitar company with over 4 decades of experience making full and semi-acoustic guitars.
If you play a wide range of styles and perform a varied arsenal of techniques, the Ibanez Artwood AS73G was tailor-made for you.
Boasting an ultra-resonant all-linden body, this super-versatile semi-hollowbody electric guitar exhibits the perfect combination of eye-grabbing looks and ear-pleasing tone. Plug in, and you'll be greeted by sweet, vintage-tinged textures, by way of dual Classic Elite humbuckers. And this semi-hollow powerhouse's playability is second to none, thanks to its comfortable nyatoh neck and easy-playing walnut fingerboard. Ibanez didn't skimp on quality hardware either - the AS73G's Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece give you both solid intonation and lightning-fast string changes. The AS73G is adorned with tasteful acrylic block fingerboard inlays and attractive gold hardware.
Carefully selected tonewoods exude naturally expressive tone
Thanks to its carefully selected tonewoods, the AS73G's resonant semi-hollowbody delivers killer tone. And that's before you even plug it in! This semi-hollowbody's linden body exudes a warm growl with truckloads of definition, while its walnut-capped nyatoh neck offers near-endless sustain. Whether you're playing rockabilly, blues, or any number of modern styles, you're going to love the character the AS73G brings to your music.
Classic Elite humbucking pickups serve up expressive tone
Early hollowbody and semi-hollowbody electric guitars had wonderfully expressive tone that came with serious hum issues. That's why Ibanez and other guitar makers quickly developed special humbuckers, such as the Classic Elite models. These special humbuckers preserve your AS73G semi-hollowbody guitar's bite but ditch the 60Hz hum and other noise. What's more, Classic Elite humbuckers give the AS73G a unique sonic character that you're sure to have fun with.
AS Artcore neck yields smooth feel and comfortable action
The neck of any guitar determines how well it plays, which is why Ibanez selected the AS Artcore neck - one of their smoothest and most comfortable - for the Artcore AS73G. Not only will your hand love the slim carve of this nyatoh neck, but your fingers will appreciate the beautifully bound walnut fingerboard. On top of that, this semi-hollowbody guitar's set-in construction really maximizes its sustain.
