Description

The Ibanez AM73G-BK is a compact semi-hollow electric that delivers classic warm, punchy tones in a sleek, easy-to-handle package. With its smaller AM body, dual Classic Elite humbuckers and rock-solid Gibraltar Performer bridge, it is ideal for players who love the feel of a solid body but want the resonance and character of a semi-hollow. Finished in a classy Black with gold hardware, it is as stylish on stage as it is versatile in the studio.

Part of the acclaimed Artcore series, the AM73G-BK combines quality construction with impressive affordability. The linden semi-hollow body offers a balanced, natural voice, while the nyatoh neck and bound rosewood fretboard provide a smooth, comfortable playing experience. Whether you are into blues, rock, indie, jazz or anything in between, this guitar offers expressive playability and inspiring tone that will keep you coming back for more.

Compact Semi-Hollow Design

First introduced in the early ’80s, the Ibanez AM body is smaller than traditional semi-hollow designs — making it an excellent choice for players used to solid body guitars. The reduced size improves comfort and control, especially for long gigs or rehearsals, while still delivering the airy resonance, warmth and sustain that semi-hollows are loved for.

Artcore tone & playability

Since 2002, Ibanez Artcore guitars have earned a reputation for delivering inspiring hollow and semi-hollow tones at accessible prices. The AM73G-BK continues that legacy, offering a responsive feel and rich sustain that suit everything from old-school jazz textures to gritty rock rhythms.

Classic Elite pickups

A pair of Classic Elite humbuckers provides a rich, nuanced voice with a fat low end and clear mids. They handle clean jazz chords, crunchy blues leads and driven rock tones with ease. With individual volume and tone controls for each pickup and a three-way toggle switch, you can quickly dial in everything from smooth neck warmth to cutting bridge bite.

Comfy neck & reliable hardware

The Nyatoh AM Artcore neck offers a rich mid-low character and a comfortable profile that feels familiar. Medium frets on a bound Rosewood fingerboard make bends and chords feel natural and controlled. The Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece work together to provide stable tuning, strong sustain and quick, hassle-free string changes.

Key Features

Compact AM semi-hollow body: The smaller AM body shape gives you semi-hollow warmth and sustain in a more manageable size, ideal for players transitioning from solid bodies or anyone wanting improved comfort without sacrificing tone.
Nyatoh neck with bound Rosewood fingerboard: A Nyatoh neck adds warmth and midrange presence, paired with a bound Rosewood fingerboard and medium frets for a smooth, accurate feel that suits both chord work and lead playing.
Classic Elite humbuckers: Dual Classic Elite humbuckers deliver a rich, full sound with a fat low end and articulate mids, making this guitar equally at home with smooth cleans, crunchy rhythms and singing leads.
Gibraltar Performer bridge & Quik Change III tailpiece: The Gibraltar Performer bridge enhances sustain and tuning stability, while the Quik Change III tailpiece allows faster, easier string changes so you can spend more time playing and less time restringing.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Semi-Hollow Electric Guitars

Semi-hollow electric guitars combine elements of solid and hollow body designs, offering warmth and resonance alongside improved sustain and feedback control. Typically built with a centre block running through the body, they deliver an open, airy character while remaining stable at higher volumes. This balance makes them well suited to a wide range of styles, from jazz and blues to indie, rock, and alternative music. Semi-hollow guitars respond well to dynamics and touch, providing a versatile, expressive option for players who want depth without sacrificing control.
