Rich tone and great looks at a friendly price.
Ibanez is proud to offer the AS73FM Artcore, a versatile semi-hollow body electric guitar perfect for jazz, blues, rock, and more. Boasting a flamed maple-topped linden body and dual Classic Elite humbucker pickups, this axe delivers a sweet, vintage-tinged tone and eye-catching looks. Its comfortably slim Nyatoh neck and 12" radius walnut fretboard make the AS73FM an effortless player.
Carefully Selected Tonewoods Produce Rich Resonance
The AS73FM owes its naturally expressive tone to carefully chosen tonewoods. Its linden body provides warmth and definition, enhanced by a flamed maple top for articulation. A walnut capped Nyatoh neck offers endless sustain. Whether you're playing rockabilly or modern styles, the AS73FM brings character to your music.Classic Elite Humbuckers Capture Vintage-Style Tone
Early semi-hollow bodies struggled with hum, but the AS73FM's Classic Elite humbuckers provide vintage-style tone without the noise. These humbuckers give the AS73FM a unique voice perfect for experimenting with different sounds.Smooth Neck and 12" Radius for Effortless Playing
Ibanez selected an AS Artcore neck for the AS73FM — one of their smoothest and most comfortable. Your hand will love its slim carve, while the bound walnut fretboard delights your fingers. A 12" radius and 22 medium frets make the AS73FM an effortless play, whether you're a beginner or seasoned pro.High Quality Hardware for Solid Intonation and Easy Changes
The AS73FM doesn't skimp on hardware. Its Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece provide accurate intonation and fast string changes. Chrome tuners, knobs, and other hardware give the AS73FM attractive finishing touches worthy of its superb tone and playability.Specifications
