Description

The Ibanez AF115 is a full-hollow, professional-grade jazz guitar that delivers a rich, complex voice with classic looks to match. With its Spruce top, Flamed Maple back and sides, Macassar Ebony fingerboard and Super 58 humbuckers, this Artstar model is built for discerning players who demand warmth, clarity and effortless playability in equal measure.

Finished in a stunning Aged Whiskey Burst, the AF115 pairs traditional jazz-box aesthetics with meticulous modern craftsmanship. From the smooth Artstar fret edge treatment to the bone nut and Rosewood bridge, every detail is designed to enhance tone, feel and long-term reliability, whether you’re comping standards or taking lyrical solos centre stage.

Full-hollow Artstar jazz design

The AF115 is part of Ibanez’s Artstar series, their top-tier take on the classic jazz box. The full-hollow body, with no internal sound block, produces a rich, complex acoustic voice with a wide dynamic range. This construction gives chords a three-dimensional bloom and single notes a singing, vocal quality that responds beautifully to touch and nuance.

Premium tonewoods

A Spruce top provides a responsive, articulate foundation, while the Flamed Maple back and sides add brightness, definition and visual flair. Together they deliver a balanced tone with tight lows, clear mids and a sweet top end that cuts without harshness.

Refined playability & Artstar fretwork

The 3-piece Nyatoh and Maple neck offers stability and a rich mid-low response, while the bound Macassar Ebony fingerboard adds snap, sustain and a fast, precise feel. Medium frets with the Artstar fret edge treatment provide a super-smooth playing surface, reducing friction for gliding position shifts and comfortable vibrato.

Super 58 pickups

Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers are renowned for their moderate output and vintage-flavoured tone. On the AF115, they capture the natural resonance of the hollow body with clarity and warmth, offering smooth, rounded cleans, articulate chord work and singing leads. With individual volume and tone controls plus a three-way toggle, you can easily shape everything from dark, smoky comping sounds to more open, expressive solo tones.

Key Features

  • Full-hollow Spruce & Flamed Maple body: Delivers a rich, resonant acoustic character with bright attack and solid projection. The full-hollow construction enhances warmth and complexity, ideal for traditional jazz tones and expressive chord work.
  • Macassar Ebony fingerboard with Artstar fret edge treatment: Offers tight lows, focused mids and a strong, articulate attack. Medium frets with the Artstar fret edge treatment feel exceptionally smooth, supporting accurate intonation and comfortable, fatigue-free playing over long sets.
  • Super 58 humbuckers: Provide moderate output and a refined, vintage-inspired voice. They translate the guitar’s natural resonance into smooth, musical electric tones, from dark, mellow comping sounds to clear, singing leads.
  • VT14 tailpiece & Rosewood bridge: The VT14 tailpiece works with the Rosewood bridge to provide stable tuning and rich sustain. This classic hardware combination complements the hollow body’s acoustic response, helping every note ring clearly.

More info about this Product

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.

Hollow Body Electric Guitars

Hollow body electric guitars feature a fully hollow construction that gives them a warm, resonant, and open tone. The air inside the body enhances natural acoustic character, making these guitars especially popular for jazz, blues, and vintage-inspired styles. They respond beautifully to touch and dynamics, offering rich chord detail and smooth lead tones, though they are generally best suited to lower to moderate volume levels. Hollow body electric guitars are ideal for players who value warmth, expressiveness, and a more organic feel in their amplified sound.

Burst

A burst finish refers to a guitar finish where the colour gradually fades from a darker outer edge to a lighter centre. This technique highlights the natural grain of the wood while giving the instrument depth and visual character, making each guitar look slightly different.

Common on both electric and acoustic guitars, burst finishes range from classic sunburst styles to modern colour variations. They are popular because they combine a traditional look with a visually striking appearance that complements the shape and craftsmanship of the guitar.

Electric Guitar

Hollow Body

Hollow body guitars have fully hollowed bodies with no solid centre block, giving them a light feel and a naturally resonant acoustic character. This construction allows the body to vibrate more freely, producing an open, airy sound with strong warmth and depth.

They are closely associated with jazz, blues, and early rock and roll, where clean tones, dynamics, and natural resonance are valued. Hollow body guitars offer rich, rounded lows and smooth highs, but are more prone to feedback at high volumes, making them best suited to lower-gain and clean playing styles.
