Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar with Classic Elite Pickups
The Ibanez Artcore AS73-OLM Olive Metallic is a classically designed semi-hollow electric guitar that offers first-class playing and sound characteristics at an attractive price. The traditional construction with laminated maple for back, top and sides and a stabilizing center block characterizes the sound with an airy acoustic color without disturbing feedback, while two Ibanez Classic Elite humbuckers with ceramic magnets on the guitar amplifier promise a nuanced and dynamic sound. In addition, the "Artcore AS" profile of the glued mahogany neck promises optimum playability over all 22 frets of the rosewood fingerboard. Last but not least, the Ibanez Artcore AS73 is equipped with high-quality hardware in the form of precise die-cast tuners and the proven combination of ART-1 bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece.
The Ibanez Artcore AS73-OLM Olive Metallic convinces with a classic semi-acoustic construction and versatile blues and rock sounds.

Very impressed all round with this guitar. Fantastic value for money. Only slight thing is that the frets were very scratchy but they will be fine after a good polishing

This guitar is just brilliant value. Ibanez have done an excellent job in terms of design and, on the basis of the specific guitar I received, the factory are producing to a really good quality. Mine is in the metallic olive finish and is very attractive. The sound quality/tone of the two well balanced humbuckers is lovely through both my amps and the electronics are quiet the do the job very well indeed. Intonation and action seem to me to be just right straight out of the box, so thank you DV247 for doing the work for me - much appreciated. If, like me, you're looking for a budget 335 clone that neither looks nor feels budget, then the AS73 is a great choice.
