Stylish hollow-body guitar from the Artcore series
The Ibanez Artcore AF75-TRS Transparent Red Sunburst is a stylish hollow-body guitar from the famous Artcore series and convinces both as a classic jazz box and as a true rocker. Thanks to the proven AF single-cut body design, the player can expect characterful and dynamic cleans, while the construction doesn't get bent out of shape at all, even on crunched settings. At the guitar amp, two in-house ClassicElite humbuckers with ceramic magnets deliver a balanced sound with just the right amount of Output and. Last but not least, the Ibanez Artcore AF75-TRD Transparent Red Sunburst features solid in-house Hardware in the form of an Ibanez Gibraltar Performer bridge, a VT60 Tailpiece and reliable die-cast tuners.
With two Classic Elite humbuckers and classic hollowbody construction, the Ibanez Artcore AF75-TRS Transparent Red Sunburst is best suited for blues and jazz.
While the classically built full resonance body colors the sound with an acoustic timbre, the Nyatoh neck promises comfortable playing characteristics.
Tradition-conscious construction
In the construction of the Artcore AF75 hollow-body guitar, Ibanez relies on classic specifications to achieve a resonance-friendly sound that offers reliable feedback resistance even at higher volumes. The top, back and sides of the large body are accordingly made of a multi-layered basswood composite. The Florentine-style cutaway also allows soloistic excursions into the highest registers of the glued Nyatoh neck, whose rounded "AF Artcore" profile with 43 mm nut width creates ideal conditions for traditional jazz playing techniques.
Passive Ibanez Classic Elite ceramic humbuckers with traditional electrics promise warm clean and crunch sounds.
Classic Elite Humbucker
The electrical sound transformation of the AF75 hollow-body electric guitar is handled by two Ibanez ClassicElite humbuckers in neck and bridge position, which are not for nothing among the most popular evergreens in the portfolio of the Japanese company. Traditionally built, the passive ceramic pickups transform the resonant sound character of the full-resonance construction into warm, finely nuanced clean sounds for complex jazz chords and virtuoso runs. But the pickups are also no strangers to crunch settings, so the Artcore hollow-body guitar can also be used for Blues and rock. A classic electric with 3-way pickup switch and separate volume and tone pots for each pickup allows full control over the guitar sound.
Ibanez die-cast tuners reliably keep the Artcore AF75 hollowbody guitar in the correct tuning.
Reliable hardware equipment
Of course, Ibanez completes the Artcore AF75-TRS Transparent Red Sunburst with solid and reliable attachments. The elegant VT60 tailpiece guarantees a secure hold of the strings on the body and guides them over the Gibraltar Performer bridge standing on a wooden base, whose extensive adjustment options guarantee exact intonation and comfortable string action. On the headstock, Ibanez die-cast tuners also ensure precise tuning with reliable stability.
Fantastic looking product and great instrument to transition from acoustic to semi-acoustic. Needs considerate tuning but can be played with or without an amp which makes it perfect for playing at home.
