Semi-acoustic body with maple top, back, and sides provides a bright and naturally expressive tone
There's no substitute for for the mellow and naturally resonant sound of an electric guitar with a semi-acoustic body. Ibanez built their AS73 semi-hollowbody guitar to capture the jangle and bite of an classic semi-hollowbody, which is why they built it with an all laminant maple body. Whether you're playing rockabilly, blues, or any number of modern styles, you're going to love the character the AS73 semi-hollowbody guitar brings to your music.

ACH 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 ACH series models. These special humbuckers preserve your AS73 semi-hollowbody guitar's bite, but ditch the 60Hz hum and other noise. What's more, ACH humbuckers give the AS73 a unique sonic character that you're sure to have fun with.

Slim mahogany neck and bound rosewood 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 AS73 semi-hollowbody guitar. Not only will your hand love the slim carve of this mahogany neck, but your fingers appreciate the beautifully bound rosewood fingerboard. And since the AS73's meets its body at the 17th fret, you get easy access to all of those typically hard to reach high notes.

Ibanez AS73 Left-handed Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • A versatile semi-acoustic electric guitar that's perfect for a wide range of musical styles and playing techniques
  • Semi-hollow maple body with sustain block provides you with acoustic resonance and naturally bright tone
  • Dual ACH humbucking pickups capture electric tone and acoustic resonance while blocking hum and noise
  • Comfortably slim mahogany neck is easy to play and gives you convenient access to the upper frets
  • Bound rosewood fretboard feels smooth and looks amazing

I have to say it's the most personal order I've ever made from the pre-ship phone call, to the email, and finally the candy in the box. Thanks! I don't think I could beat the customer service even in a local shop

A really great value

by Bob from Detroit, Mi
October 13, 2012
Music Background: Hobbyist
I have been shopping for a long time for left-handed guitars under $800, and at about half that price, this is a super great value and a great buy!

First of all, it sounds great thru a POD... read more [+]300HD and It stays in tune. At this price you could stop there, but the build quality and paint finish are perfect as well. The pictures here don't really show the figuring in the wood that is visible through the semi-transparent finish.

The neck is pretty thin, but the fretboard is fairly flat - much like an acoustic, so it's easy to play and maintain proper intonation if you're coming from an acoustic.

I was very surprised at how nice a guitar this is. I've had it for about a month now and am very satisfied with it. close [-]
