Semi-Hollow Construction
While Ibanez may be most renowned for its metal-orientated guitars, the AS113-BS is a truly traditional affair. Boasting a semi-hollow body construction, this design harks back to vintage instruments from the '50s and '60s; promising a broad sound with plenty of acoustic-like resonance.
Spruce Top, Maple Back & Sides
The Ibanez AS113-BS Artstar's body is crafted from Flamed Maple, with a Spruce top. This is a tried and true combination for brilliant acoustic resonance and shimmery top-end clarity.
Stellar Playability
The comfortable AS Artstar neck shape makes lush chords and intricate chromatic lines simply a joy to play, especially with the ultra-smooth Prestige fret edge treatment, while the silky Ebony fingerboard comes fitted with medium frets that offer you great control under the fingers.
Proprietary Super 58 Pickups
Ibanez's AS113-BS Artstar comes equipped with a pair of medium-output Super 58 humbuckers — pickups that really lend themselves well to jazz, blues and even rock. Featuring Alnico magnets, the Super 58s have a pure and clear quality, with a rounded tone that's perfect for warm extended chords. The innovative 'Tri-Sound' switch gives each humbucker three different sounds too, expanding the tonal versatility of the instrument.
