Description

The Ibanez ASH300 is a gorgeous semi-hollow Artstar model crafted for players who need classic jazz-box character with modern versatility. With a solid Spruce top, Flamed Maple back and sides and a centre block-mounted pair of Super 58 humbuckers, it delivers warm and articulate tones that work just as well for straight-ahead jazz as they do for blues, soul, rock and beyond.

Part of Ibanez’s professional-grade Artstar series, the ASH300-TBC pairs a sleek Tobacco Brown finish with high-end appointments like a Macassar Ebony fingerboard, half-bone/half-brass nut and the smooth Artstar fret edge treatment. Add in the Gibraltar Artist bridge, VT14 tailpiece and a Tri-sound switch for expanded pickup options, and you get a refined, stage-ready semi-hollow that feels luxurious in the hands and inspires you to play.

Artstar semi-hollow versatility

The ASH300 sits in the classic AS-style semi-hollow body format, with a centre block and pickups mounted directly into it for increased sustain and reduced feedback. This design gives you the airy resonance and bloom of a hollow instrument, while remaining controlled and stable at higher volumes. Whether you’re comping chords in a small jazz combo or pushing an amp into overdrive for blues and fusion, the ASH300 stays clear, musical and responsive.

Premium tonewoods & construction

A solid Spruce top enriches the guitar’s acoustic voice, adding depth, nuance and dynamic sensitivity that you can really feel under the fingers. Flamed Maple back and sides bring a bright, defined attack and a striking visual grain beneath the Tobacco Brown finish. While the stable 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple neck contributes a rich mid-low presence and excellent resonance.

Super 58 pickups & Tri-Sound switching

Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers are renowned for their moderate output and vintage-flavoured tone, making them a favourite for jazz, blues and classic rock. In the ASH300 they deliver warm, rounded neck tones, clear bridge bite and beautifully balanced cleans. The Tri-Sound switch further expands your palette by giving one of the humbuckers three distinct voices, allowing you to move from full humbucker punch to more single-coil-like clarity at the flick of a switch!

Key Features

  • Solid Spruce top with Flamed Maple back & sides: The solid Spruce top enhances resonance and tonal richness, responding dynamically to your picking and phrasing. Flamed Maple back and sides add brightness and definition, as well as a stunning grain pattern.
  • Macassar Ebony fingerboard & Artstar fret edge treatment: Provides tight lows, strong mids and a fast, responsive feel. Combined with medium frets and the ultra-smooth Artstar fret edge treatment, it offers exceptional comfort and precision.
  • Super 58 humbuckers with Tri-Sound switch: A pair of Super 58 pickups deliver classic, vintage-inspired tones with moderate output and excellent clarity. The Tri-sound switch gives one pickup three different voicings, greatly increasing your tonal options.
  • Gibraltar Artist Bridge & VT14 tailpiece: The Gibraltar Artist bridge uses a lightweight aluminium frame with zinc saddles for natural tone, rich sustain and solid tuning stability. Paired with the smooth VT14 tailpiece, it helps the ASH300 stay in tune while maximising sustain and overall playing comfort.

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.

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.
