Ibanez AM73G-BK Artcore AM Black

Ibanez Artcore AM Hollow Body Guitar 6-String - Black

The Ibanez AM was first introduced in the early 1980s and has since established itself as a compact semi-hollow guitar with impressive tonal depth. Despite its smaller body it delivers a warm, powerful tone with long sustain — while offering a familiar playing feel for guitarists coming from solid-body instruments. It combines the best of both worlds: the characterful voice of a semi-acoustic and the comfortable playability of a classic electric guitar. The Artcore line, which includes the AM, was launched in 2002 and quickly became a staple among hollow-body guitars. Thanks to the successful mix of high-quality workmanship, excellent tonal performance and an affordable price, it’s popular with musicians across styles — from blues and country to jazz and rock. Artcore guitars stand for authentic tone, expressive playability and remarkable versatility.

The Nyatoh neck provides rich midrange and low-end response, while the rosewood fretboard delivers a balanced, focused tonal character. Medium frets ensure precise feel and reliable intonation. Top, sides and back made from basswood produce a natural, clear sound with harmonic balance across the full frequency range. The Classic Elite pickups contribute the instrument's signature voice with nuanced tonal variety and strong bass presence. The Gibraltar Performer bridge delivers excellent sustain and tuning stability, while the Quik Change III tailpiece enables quick and comfortable string changes. The Ibanez AM Artcore is a versatile instrument that blends traditional semi-hollow tonal aesthetics with modern playability — ideal for players seeking expression, comfort and tonal variety in a compact format.
