Ibanez expand their famous Artcore Series with two amazing guitars: the AF55ABF and AS53 Semi-Acoustic, justifying the series creed "From Traditional to Versatile".
Ibanez Artcore AF55ABF
AF55ABF brings out all the old school had to teach. This is the most traditional model in whole of Artcore Series with a fully hollow body for the maximum tone as complex as its finish for an unrepeatable playing experience.
AF55ABF features Maple top combined with maple back and side, set-in mahogany neck and golden hardware. It has beautiful natural finish and carved vintage "f" holes on the top. ACH-ST humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets give a clean sound with rich harmonics. Controls include one volume and one tone pot and a three way pickup selector. The bridge is Ibanez ART1 fixed bridge paired with a vintage styled trapezoid tailpiece. 24.75" scale set-in mahogany neck has a very comfortable Ibanez Artcore profile with nut width of 43mm, depth at first fret of 20mm and 12th fret depth of 26.5mm.
