A Rockin' Semi-hollowbody Guitar

The Ibanez AS73 semi-hollowbody electric guitar delivers big value, and prominent tone to match. The Artcore AS73 sounds great and gives you a wide range of tones, making it an excellent choice for just about any musical genre you want to play. Its pair of Classic Elite humbucking pickups delivers complex tonality with no buzz or hum, and a slim nyatoh neck with a walnut fingerboard makes the AS73 a pleasure to play. If you're searching for a great value in a semi-hollowbody guitar, Sweetwater can highly recommend the Ibanez AS73.

Semi-acoustic body with linden top, back, and sides

There's no substitute for the mellow and naturally resonant sound of an electric guitar with a semi-acoustic body. Ibanez built their AS73 semi-hollowbody guitar to capture the jangle and bite of a classic semi-hollowbody, which is why they built it with a linden body. Whether you're playing rockabilly, blues, or any number of modern styles, you're going to love the character the AS73 semi-hollowbody guitar brings to your music.

Slim nyatoh neck and bound walnut fingerboard give you smooth feel and comfortable action

The neck of any guitar has a lot to do with how well it plays, which is why Ibanez selected one of their smoothest and most comfortable necks for the Artcore AS73 semi-hollowbody guitar. Not only will your hand love the slim carve of this nyatoh neck, but your fingers will appreciate the silky-smooth walnut fingerboard.

Ibanez Artcore AS73 Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • A versatile semi-acoustic electric guitar
  • Perfect for a wide range of musical styles and playing techniques
  • Semi-hollow linden body with sustain block for acoustic resonance and naturally bright tone
  • Dual Classic Elite humbucking pickups capture sweet electric tone and acoustic resonance with no hum
  • Comfortably slim nyatoh neck is easy to play and gives you convenient access to the upper frets
  • Walnut fretboard feels smooth and looks amazing

Perfect!

I don't have a lot of experience with electric guitars because I have mainly focused on acoustic for many years. I wanted something I could fiddle around on and learn some new things without spending a ton of money. I played a used Ibanez at a music store and liked the feel of it but not the look. I also played several other semi hollow body guitars but when I saw the mint green metallic I decided on this AS73 and I could not be happier. It is the most beautiful guitar I have ever owned. The color can look different depending on lighting but always looks great. This guitar is the most fun to play of any guitar I have ever owned and I look forward to picking it up every day. I'm also glad I decided on buying from Sweetwater. Their set up on the guitar and customer service is awesome and they will be my go-to for buying music equipment in the future.

Dude, Amazing Guitar and Bang for Your Buck

The setup on this guitar was amazing. Austin G. And Nick M., you rocked it on this inspection!! I tried out the model similar to this one, the AS73G, and it was amazing. When I looked at this model, it was $50 less and I thought, "Why not?". The neck has a bit of chunk on it, but it's playable!! Bridge and neck pickup are great. The bridge doesn't sound too pokey, which is my personal preference. Hey, to each person, their own. If you wanna play jazz, r&b, or neo soul at a bargain, this is the one!!!
Rated 5/5

Underrated!!!

This is my go to guitar for just about everything I play. The neck is comfortable and smooth. The pick ups are hot snd give you a full range of tones. Guitars come and go but this one is staying.
Rated 5/5

Great all round guitar!

I love the feel of a Stratocaster with it's long easy accessible neck. This Ibanez AS73 reminds of that same Strat feel, but in a 335. I wouldn't normally buy a green guitar, but this one is a metallic green and reminiscent of a '69 Plymouth Road Runner we drove around back the day. It is actually a very beautiful color, and it changes its hue depending on the lighting. I didn't really get too excited about this guitar at first. The guitar seemed very dried out, (or something?) when it first arrived. After about two weeks, I wasn't impressed by the sound. I removed the pickguard, then I decided to put it in my basement to play while watching TV and let some of the damper air soak into it. Slowly it came alive, and it just started sounding better and better, and then I realized how easy it was to play. Now I'm thinking, this guitar is awesome...and if I could only have one electric guitar, and it had to cost under $500, this would be the one I'd pick.

Perfect!

The Ibanez AS73 is a great guitar. Plays and sounds great and is one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. Setup was perfect right out of the box and customer service could not have been better. I have already bought another guitar from Sweetwater and will be buying all of my gear from them in the future.
