Ibanez introduced the Artcore series in 2002. Since then, the combination of quality workmanship and affordability has created legions of Artcore fans from diverse genres as blues, country, rock and jazz. Artcore is highly respected for its tone, sustain, tuning stability and how the series continues to push the boundaries of guitar building.
The bound, all-maple full hollowbody of the AF55 provides tight resonance without feedback, perfect for that muted jazz tone and fully flexible for everything from alt rock to pounding punk. The mahogany set neck with bound rosewood fretboard is a joy to play. The humbuckers provide a beefy, quiet signal with pronounced mids.
