Ibanez AS73G-BKF

The Ibanez AS73G-BKF is a 6-string semi-hollow electric guitar from the Artcore Series, featuring the classic AS double-cutaway body shape. Its Linden body and semi-hollow construction deliver a resonant, airy character while retaining enough definition and sustain for a wide range of electric-guitar styles. The comfortable body proportions and 24.7" scale make it particularly suitable for jazz, blues, rock, pop and rockabilly playing.

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 provide a comfortable playing feel. Two Ibanez Classic Elite passive ceramic humbuckers deliver clear, balanced tones with substantial low-end response, while the three-way pickup selector allows quick switching between neck, both and bridge pickup sounds.

The Black Flat (BKF) finish gives the instrument a distinctive understated appearance, complemented by gold hardware. A Gibraltar Performer bridge provides tuning stability and sustain, while the Quik Change III tailpiece makes string changes faster and easier. The guitar uses standard passive electronics with independent volume and tone controls for each pickup. A case or gig bag is not included as standard.
