Ibanez AM93QA-VVH

The Ibanez AM93QA-VVH is a compact semi-hollow electric guitar from the Artcore Expressionist series, designed around Ibanez's smaller AM body shape. Its Quilted Ash top, back and sides provide a distinctive figured appearance while contributing to a clear, articulate and balanced acoustic response. The semi-hollow construction and compact dimensions make it particularly comfortable for players who prefer the feel of a solid-body guitar while wanting the character and resonance associated with a semi-hollow instrument.

The guitar features a 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple set-in neck paired with a bound Macassar Ebony fretboard and acrylic block inlays. Its 628 mm (24.7") scale, 43 mm nut width and 305 mm radius provide a familiar, versatile playing feel suitable for rhythm work, chord playing and lead lines. Two Super 58 passive Alnico humbuckers deliver a warm, articulate sound with enough output and definition for jazz, blues, rock and other electric-guitar styles.

Hardware is finished in gold and includes an Ibanez Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece, providing stable string positioning and convenient restringing. The Vintage Violin High Gloss (VVH) finish highlights the figured Quilted Ash construction, while the 2-volume, 2-tone control layout and 3-way toggle allow straightforward control over the two Super 58 pickups. The model is a 2026 addition to the Artcore Expressionist range. (Ibanez)
