Make Traditional New With The Ibanez AF55TF Artcore Series Hollowbody Electric Guitar – Tobacco Flat Finish And Uncovered Pickups Lend An Understated Yet Edgy Appearance
Ibanez introduced the Artcore Series in 2002 and they have proved the hollow-body guitar of choice of musicians for the last 10 years. The Artcore’s combination of quality workmanship and affordability has created legions of fans from diverse genres as blues, country, rock and jazz. Musicians can find the purity of an old school style jazz-box to a hybrid semi-hollow rocker. Artcore is highly respected for its tone, sustain and the way they hold their tuning and how the series continues to push the boundaries of guitar building.
This model uses two uncovered and slightly hotter Infinity R humbuckers and has binding around the neck and body (but not f-holes), with dot inlays along the fretboard. It utilizes a traditional floating bridge and trapeze tailpiece. As is standard for most arch top styles of guitar, the body and top is laminated.
This AF55TF is also very reasonably priced, and has consistent sound and build quality above most others sharing a similar price range.
