If you want to kick off your career as a guitarist with a semi-acoustic model, then Ibanez present the perfect starting point in the affordable form of the Artcore Series AF-75. Built for styles like jazz, blues and rock, this hollowbody model sports a Transparent Red Sunburst paint-job along with white binding for extra style points. Also, the potentiometers come topped with Sure Grip Knobs to give you smooth control over your sound. The Ibanez AF75: Trusty Build The AF body has been carved entirely from basswood while the neck is made of nyatoh and comes with a walnut fretboard for a mix of woods that guarantee a warm and prominent acoustic foundation sound. Dependable hardware such as the Gibraltar Performer bridge and the graceful VT60 tailpiece, meanwhile, take care of ample sustain, stable intonation and firmed-up tuning stability. Classic Elite Humbuckers In terms of tone, the AF75 semi-acoustic guitar has been kitted out with two Classic Elite humbucker pickups that deliver a rich yet defined amplified sound that leaves more than enough room to put a little nuance in your playing. At the same time, the 12-inch fretboard radius, 24.75-inch scale length and thin Artcore neck profile result in the playability needed to support nimble bebop licks and other tricks.
