Ibanez AS93 Review

AS line in Hollow Body series from Ibanez is made of semi-acoustic guitars built to be versatile and able to live up to any challenge. The line is updated for 2012 with a brand new violin sunburst color option for AS93, the line`s top model. The AS93 starts off as a semi-hollow double cutaway guitar with the body made entirely of flamed maple. The top is bound in creme binding and equipped with two bound "f" holes on either side of the bridge. Currently, blue sunburst and violin sunburst are the only color options available, and they both come with gloss finish. The bridge on this model is an Ibanez tune-o-matic variant, the ART1 with a stoptail bar. Pickup department boasts two active humbuckers, Ibanez ACH2 in the bridge, and ACH1 in the neck position. They are controlled through split volume and tone knobs and a three-way toggle switch. The neck is made of three pieces of mahogany and maple with a set-in joint at the 17th fret. The fingerboard is made of rosewood and it features 22 medium-sized frets, abalone block inlays, 1.69" wide string nut and 12"radius. 24-3/4" scale, gold hardware and Sure Grip III knobs complete the specs for AS93.
