The Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93QM - beautiful Quilted Maple top, back & sides and the acclaimed Super 58 pickups.
For a decade now, Ibanez has energized the hollow-body segment with a wide range of design - from rockin’ hybrids to straight-up jazz-boxes. With the introduction of its new Expressionist line, Ibanez has begun yet another chapter in the story of its acclaimed Artstar series.
Built with tone woods selected for their beauty as well as their musicality, the Expressionist line covers the wide range of styles for which Ibanez hollow and semi-hollow bodies are known. The semi-hollow AM93QM features quilted maple top, back, and sides, and handsome ivory binding on the body, headstock, and fingerboard. An expertly crafted 3-piece Maple/Mahogany set-in neck ensures body liveliness and is fitted with a rich Ebony fretboard with silky contrasting pearl block inlays.
The tortoise shell colored pickguard provides an gorgeous appearance. The Ibanez-original Quik Change III tailpiece enables fast and easy string changing. Jazz fans will recognize the Ibanez original Super 58 Custom pickups - the preferred pickup of George Benson, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield used in their own signature models. These pickups provide warm, balanced articulation, and excellent response. Super 58's are at home in variety of genres.
