Ibanez AS93FM-VLS – Violin Sunburst

The Ibanez AS series is a semi-hollow guitar designed to offer maximum tonal versatility, making it ideal for tackling any musical genre with ease. Its special construction, with pickups mounted directly onto the center block, ensures increased sustain and a significant reduction of feedback—perfect for both stage and studio use.

Over the years, Ibanez has revolutionized the hollow-body guitar market by offering a wide range of instruments, from modern and aggressive semi-hollow designs to iconic traditional jazz boxes. The Artcore Expressionist line represents an evolution of this philosophy, combining classic design with technical innovation.

A defining feature of the Expressionist series is the legendary Super 58 pickups, favored by jazz greats such as George Benson, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield. These pickups deliver a warm, clear, and perfectly balanced tone with excellent dynamic response—ideal for jazz, yet highly effective in blues, rock, and fusion settings.

Build quality is another strong point: every detail, from the smooth fingerboard to the precision fretwork, is crafted to ensure comfort, reliability, and professional-level performance typical of higher-end instruments.

Ideal for:

  • Jazz, swing, and fusion, thanks to the warm tone of Super 58 pickups
  • Blues and classic rock, for dynamic and expressive tones
  • Intermediate and advanced players seeking versatility and build quality
  • Musicians looking for a reliable semi-hollow for live and studio use
