Ibanez AF75-BS

The Ibanez AF75-BS is a 6-string full-hollow electric guitar from the Artcore Series, designed around the traditional AF body shape. Its fully hollow construction has no centre block, giving the instrument a resonant, open character that works particularly well for jazz, blues, rockabilly and clean electric tones. The Brown Sunburst finish complements its classic hollow-body styling. (2024)

The guitar features an AF Artcore Nyatoh set-in neck paired with a bound Walnut fretboard and acrylic block inlays. Its 628 mm (24.7") scale length, 43 mm nut width and 305 mm radius provide a comfortable playing feel, while the 20 medium frets offer a familiar layout for both chordal and lead playing. Two Classic Elite passive ceramic humbuckers provide full, balanced output with separate volume and tone controls for each pickup. (星野楽器 HOSHINO GAKKI CO., LTD.)

For hardware, the AF75-BS combines a Gibraltar Performer bridge with a VT60 tailpiece, providing tuning stability, sustain and comfortable string positioning. It uses chrome hardware, D'Addario EXL140 strings and a traditional 3-way pickup selector. The current version is specified with a Linden body and Walnut fretboard; older AF75 versions used different wood combinations, so these specifications should not be mixed with earlier generations.
