Ibanez AS113BS Brown Sunburst Artstar

The semi-hollow that unites jazz traditions and modern playability in one instrument

The Ibanez AS113BS is one of the most fully-featured semi-hollow guitars in the Artstar program. For decades, Ibanez has been building instruments for musicians who want the best of both worlds: the warm, resonant character of a hollowbody jazz guitar, combined with the feedback resistance and sustain of a solidbody. The AS113BS in Brown Sunburst is a guitar you don't just hear, but also feel.

The Super 58 humbuckers are characteristic of the Artstar series and deliver a rich, layered tone with a strikingly earthy dynamic. Direct mounting on the center block gives the pickups a clear, punchy response without the loss of body that you might experience with fully hollow guitars. Whether you're playing jazzy, clean passages or seeking a thicker, warm lead tone, the AS113BS responds to every touch with character.

The neck is constructed from three pieces of Nyatoh and Maple, with a Macassar Ebony fretboard featuring Acrylic & Abalone block inlays and an Artstar fret edge treatment that noticeably refines playability. The top is Spruce, and the back and sides are Flamed Maple. Further details: Gibraltar Artist bridge, Quik Change III tailpiece, Grover Rotomatic tuners, bone nut, and gold hardware. Scale 628mm, 22 medium frets, radius 305mm. Supplied with gig bag.

The Ibanez AS113BS is an instrument that immediately reveals its added value, both at the playing table and in the mix.
