Semi-acoustic body with flame maple top, back, and sides provides a bright and naturally expressive tone
There's no substitute for the mellow and naturally resonant sound of an electric guitar with a semi-acoustic body. Ibanez built their AS153 semi-hollowbody guitar to capture the jangle and bite of a classic semi-hollowbody, which is why they built it with a flame maple body. Whether you're playing rockabilly, blues, or any number of modern styles, you're going to love the character the AS153 semi-hollowbody guitar brings to your music.

Super 58 Custom humbucking pickups capture electric sound and acoustic resonance, without 60-cycle hum
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 Super 58 Custom pickups. These special humbuckers preserve your AS153 semi-hollowbody guitar's bite, but ditch the 60Hz hum and other noise. What's more, ACH humbuckers give the AS153 a unique sonic character that you're sure to have fun with.

Slim mahogany neck and bound ebony fingerboard give you smooth feel and comfortable action
The neck of any guitar has a lot to do with how well it plays, which is why Ibanez selected one of their smoothest and most comfortable necks for the Artcore AS153 semi-hollowbody guitar. Not only will your hand love the slim carve of this mahogany neck, but your fingers will appreciate the beautifully bound ebony fingerboard.
