The Ibanez AS53, part of the popular Artcore series, is a semi-hollow electric guitar that’s great for all styles of music, from jazz and blues to rock, R&B, and fusion. Its cool design and warm, clear sound make it a favorite for both new and seasoned players who want professional-quality sound without breaking the bank.

Here at Andy’s Music, the Ibanez AS53TKF is a hit with our customers. Guitarists really enjoy how it blends the warmth of semi-hollows with the clarity of solid bodies. The sustain block under the pickups helps it stay in tune longer and reduces feedback, making it perfect for both live gigs and recording. Plus, its smooth, satin finish highlights the beautiful wood grain, giving it a classic, understated look.

Since 2002, the Ibanez Artcore series has changed how musicians see guitars. Ibanez has made high-quality full and semi-hollow guitars available to all guitarists, not just jazz players.

Andy’s Music, a 12-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer, is a family-run business that’s been helping musicians, schools, and places of worship in the Southeast U.S. since 1977.
