With the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93BC-BK Black, the traditional Japanese company presents a classic semi-acoustic electric guitar. With its laminated basswood and bocote body and the two Super 58 pickups, it delivers authentic Vintage sounds, while the comfortably shaped neck ensures soft playability.
The Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93BC-BK Black features a laminated bocote and basswood body and two Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers.
Semi-acoustic construction
For the construction of the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93BC-BK's body, Ibanez relies on a laminated basswood top and a bocote body, with the back and top joined by a solid center block. Accordingly, the electric guitar delivers a particularly resonant sound without tending to feedback at high volumes. At the same time, the slim AS neck made of maple and nyatoh offers high playability for all playing techniques.
Super 58 Pickups
As pickup on the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93BC-BK Blacktwo Super 58 humbuckers are used, with which also George Benson, Pat Metheny or Eric Krasno form their characteristic sounds. Accordingly, these pickups convince with a warm, evenly articulating sound that presents both clean jazz lines and juicy rock and funk riffs with harmonic dynamics. Via the classic circuit with individual volume and tone controls can furthermore be called up a wide range of different sound nuances.
This is a really great guitar. The action and feel is really smooth. Sound quality is great. The Zebra wood helps to produce a lovely warm tone. I use this guitar for playing Jazz and blues and is very well suited for that but I would go further to say it’s not limited to those styles and is well suited for Rock and any other genres.

This guitar is a dream come true. Excellent craftmanship, sound and playablility. For the price of an entry level semiacoustic, you get a professional grade instrument.

Just great guitar. Superb. I was thrilled when I took it in my hands. Neck pickup is fabulous, crystal clear, punchy, man cannot ask for more. Bridge pickup I like but it hasn't amazed me as neck pickup. Guitar has fantastic sustain. It reacts fenomenaly to pedal effects. Tuners hold guitar in tune very well. Neck is smooth, fast and very playable. Volume and tone pots are pretty decent, there are no unwanted sounds when you use them. Nice touch is rubber ring around each pot. High-gloss finish and binding are made very well. Of course, strings change is a must.
Cons: I don't like gold painted hardware because paint will come off in time. Eventually I will change all gold hardware. Toggle switch could be better, it is a little bit loose or should I say "weak". These cons do not interfere playability or sound quality.
