Ibanez AS73

The Ibanez AS73 is a 6-string semi-hollow electric guitar from the Artcore Series, featuring the classic AS double-cutaway body shape. Its semi-hollow construction and centre block provide a resonant, open character while helping maintain sustain and control unwanted feedback. The compact 15 3/4" body width and 24.7" scale make it comfortable for extended playing, while its versatile tonal response suits jazz, blues, rock, pop and other styles.

The guitar features an AS Artcore Nyatoh set-in neck with a bound Walnut fretboard, acrylic block inlays and 22 medium frets. The 628 mm (24.7") scale length, 43 mm nut width and 305 mm radius offer a comfortable playing feel. Two Ibanez Classic Elite passive ceramic humbuckers provide warm, articulate tones with strong low-end response, while the 3-way pickup selector allows independent access to the neck, combined and bridge pickup sounds.

The AS73 is equipped with a Gibraltar Performer bridge for stable tuning and sustain, together with a Quik Change III tailpiece for faster string changes. Chrome hardware complements the instrument's finish, while separate volume and tone controls for each pickup provide flexible tonal adjustment. The model is available in several finishes depending on market and production version, including Tobacco Brown and Transparent Cherry Red.
