Ibanez AF95FM-AYS

The Ibanez AF95FM-AYS is a 6-string full-hollow electric guitar from the Artcore Expressionist Series, designed around the classic AF hollow-body format. Its Flamed Maple top, back and sides provide a resonant, articulate character while giving the instrument a premium figured appearance. The fully hollow construction makes it particularly suitable for jazz, blues, rockabilly and other styles where a warm, open electric-guitar response is desired.

The guitar features an AF Expressionist 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple set-in neck and a bound Macassar Ebony fretboard with acrylic block inlays. Its 628 mm (24.7") scale, 43 mm nut width and 305 mm radius provide a comfortable playing platform, while the 20 medium frets offer ample range for both chordal and lead playing. Dual Super 58 passive Alnico humbuckers deliver warm, balanced and articulate tones, with individual volume and tone controls for each pickup.

A Gibraltar Performer bridge and VT06 tailpiece provide stable string positioning and reliable sustain. The guitar is finished in AYS – Antique Yellow Sunburst, with gold hardware complementing the flamed Maple body and traditional hollow-body styling. Ibanez specifies the MF100C as the recommended case; it is not listed as a standard included accessory. (Ibanez)
