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 AS53 semi-hollowbody guitar to capture the jangle and bite of an classic semi-hollowbody, which is why they built it with an all laminate sapele body. Whether you're playing rockabilly, blues, or any number of modern styles, you're going to love the character the AS53 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 AS53 semi-hollowbody guitar's bite, but ditch the 60Hz hum and other noise. What's more, ACH humbuckers give the AS53 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 AS53 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 AS53's meets its body at the 17th fret, you get easy access to all of those typically hard to reach high notes.
