The Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93FM-AYS AntiqueYellow Sunburst at a glance
With the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93FM-AYS AntiqueYellow Sunburst, the traditional Japanese company presents a classically constructed semi-acoustic electric guitar that can be used for everything from jazz to Blues to rock. With its laminated flamed maple body and two Super 58 pickups, it delivers authentic Vintage sounds, while the comfortably shaped neck ensures soft playability. Naturally, in-house Ibanez hardware in the form of a Gibraltar Performer bridge with matching Quik Change III Tailpiece and solid die-cast tuners ensures reliable functionality and the most direct possible resonance transmission into the body.
The Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93FM-AYS Antique Yellow Sunburst has a body made of laminated curly maple and Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers.
Semi-acoustic construction
Ibanez uses laminated curly maple for the construction of the body of the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93FM-AYS, with the back and top being connected with a solid center block. As a result, the electric guitar delivers a particularly resonant sound without any tendency to feedback at high volumes. At the same time, the slim mahogany neck offers a high level of playability for all playing techniques.
Super 58 pickups
The pickups used on the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93FM-AYS AntiqueYellow Sunburst are two Super 58 humbuckers, which George Benson, Pat Metheny and Eric Krasno also use to create their characteristic sounds. Accordingly, these pickups impress with a warm, evenly articulated sound that produces both clean jazz lines and juicy rock and funk riffs with harmonic dynamics. The classic circuit with individual volume and tone controls can also be used to call up a wide range of different sound nuances.
This is a really great guitar. The action and feel is really smooth. Sound quality is great. The Zebra wood helps to produce a lovely warm tone. I use this guitar for playing Jazz and blues and is very well suited for that but I would go further to say it’s not limited to those styles and is well suited for Rock and any other genres.

Just great guitar. Superb. I was thrilled when I took it in my hands. Neck pickup is fabulous, crystal clear, punchy, man cannot ask for more. Bridge pickup I like but it hasn't amazed me as neck pickup. Guitar has fantastic sustain. It reacts fenomenaly to pedal effects. Tuners hold guitar in tune very well. Neck is smooth, fast and very playable. Volume and tone pots are pretty decent, there are no unwanted sounds when you use them. Nice touch is rubber ring around each pot. High-gloss finish and binding are made very well. Of course, strings change is a must.
Cons: I don't like gold painted hardware because paint will come off in time. Eventually I will change all gold hardware. Toggle switch could be better, it is a little bit loose or should I say "weak". These cons do not interfere playability or sound quality.
