Over a long period, Ibanez has continued to energize the hollow-body market with wide range of designs including everything from rockin' semi-hollow hybrids to straight-up traditional jazz-boxes. The Artcore Expressionist line established yet another chapter in the Artcore story. The Expressionist difference? Jazz fans will recognize the Ibanez original Super 58, the preferred pickup of George Benson, Pat Metheny and John Scofield on their own Signature models. A favorite among jazz players, but also has been proven to perform well in a variety of situations. Warmth, balanced articulation, and excellent response are defining characteristics of the Super 58 pickups.
The left-hand AS93 balances elegance visually and aurally sure to turn heads in any setting. The flamed maple top, back, and sides, beautifully bound and finished in violin sunburst, can go from swing and jazz to blues and hard rock thanks to the Super 58 humbuckers and individual volume and tone controls. A 3 piece Nyatoh/Maple neck, already great for articulation, is enhanced by a bound Macassar Ebony fingerboard creating smooth, powerful playing experience unplugged as well as plugged in. Staying in tune is important and thanks to the gold tuning machines and Gibraltar bridge and tailpiece the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93 is ready for endless rehearsals, recordings, and stage appearances without failure.
