Description

The Ibanez AS53L-TF Artcore is a left-handed, centre-block semi-hollow that delivers classic warm, airy tones with modern playability and rock-solid tuning stability. Finished in a sleek Tobacco Flat satin, it is light, comfortable and versatile enough to cover blues, jazz, indie and rock, all while giving left-handed players a properly designed instrument rather than a compromise. With its nyatoh neck, medium frets and compact AS-series body, the AS53L feels instantly familiar and easy under the fingers, whether you are comping chords or taking melodic leads. A pair of Infinity R humbuckers provide a clear, dynamic voice that stays articulate at lower gain settings and retains definition when you push your amp harder. The Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece keep everything stable and make string changes fast and fuss-free. If you are a left-handed player looking for a reliable, great-sounding semi-hollow that will not fight you on stage or in the studio, the AS53L-TF offers impressive quality and tone at a very accessible price point. Comfortable Left-Handed Semi-Hollow Design The AS53L is purpose-built for left-handed players, with a fully mirrored layout that feels natural from the first chord. Its compact AS-series semi-hollow body offers the resonance and airiness of a hollow design while remaining comfortable for long rehearsals and gigs. The centre block helps reduce feedback, so you can enjoy semi-hollow character at higher volumes with more control. Nyatoh Neck with Smooth Medium Frets A nyatoh neck provides a warm, mid-focused response that complements the semi-hollow body, giving your sound body and presence without harshness. Combined with medium frets, the neck feels smooth and forgiving, making bends, vibrato and chord work feel controlled and accurate. It is a player-friendly platform that suits both beginners and experienced guitarists. Infinity R Humbuckers for Clear, Dynamic Tone The Infinity R humbuckers are voiced for clarity and versatility, delivering a balanced output that works well across clean, crunch and overdriven tones. They stay articulate for jazzy chords and nuanced lines, yet have enough punch for blues and rock. Their passive design keeps your dynamics intact, responding well to picking strength and guitar volume adjustments. Gibraltar Performer Bridge and Quik Change III Tailpiece The Gibraltar Performer bridge offers a stable, comfortable platform with precise intonation adjustment, helping your chords ring in tune across the neck. Paired with the Quik Change III tailpiece, string changes are straightforward and speedy, so you spend less time restringing and more time playing. Chrome hardware completes the look with a clean, modern edge. Key Features Left-Handed AS-Series Semi-Hollow Body – A dedicated left-handed semi-hollow design with a centre block gives you classic airy resonance with improved feedback control, making it ideal for live use and recording. Nyatoh Neck with Medium Frets – The warm-sounding nyatoh neck and comfortable medium frets provide an easy-playing feel that supports accurate fretting, smooth bends and relaxed chord work. Infinity R Humbucking Pickups – Dual Infinity R humbuckers deliver clear, dynamic tones that handle everything from clean jazz voicings to gritty blues and rock, all while keeping noise under control. Gibraltar Performer Bridge and Quik Change III Tailpiece – This hardware pairing offers reliable tuning stability, precise intonation and quick, hassle-free string changes, perfect for regular gigging and practice.

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.

Guitar

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.

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.

Tagged products may differ in body construction, scale length, bridge type, pickup layout and switching, all of which affect feel and tonal range.

Left Handed

Left-handed guitars are built specifically for left-handed players, with the body shape, controls, and string orientation reversed to provide a natural and comfortable playing experience. Available across electric, acoustic, classical, and bass styles, they offer the same variety of tones, features, and build quality as right-handed models. Using a properly designed left-handed guitar helps with balance, technique, and confidence, allowing players to focus on developing their sound without having to adapt to an instrument that doesn’t suit the way they play.

Semi Hollow

Semi-hollow guitars blend the warmth and resonance of a hollow body with the feedback control and sustain of a solid body. Featuring a solid centre block running through the body, they deliver rich, open tones with added bite — perfect for blues, jazz, rock, and soul. From smooth cleans to gritty overdrive, semi-hollows like the ES-335 have become timeless favourites for players who want depth, character, and versatility in one beautifully balanced instrument.
