Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AG95QA Dark Brown Sunburst Semi-Acoustic Guitar

General

Ibanez continue to update their range of semi-acoustic guitars to make sure the models meet the demands of any and all contemporary guitarists. At the same time, Ibanez refuses to lose sight of some of their traditions which, in the case of the AG95 Artcore Expressionist, has resulted in the familiar look of a stunning grain pattern and a chic Dark Brown Sunburst finish. In addition, the quilted ash used for the build shapes a beautifully balanced foundation sound and ample volume, while the look is accentuated by a matching scratchplate.

The AG95: Super 58 Pickups, ART-1 Bridge & VT-06 Tailpiece

The Ibanez AG95 sounds as good as it looks thanks to a pair of jazz-ready Super 58s - the very same pickups used for the George Benson, Pat Metheny and John Scofield signature models. Also, as already proven by Eric Krasno, these humbuckers can easily handle styles like funk and blues and come with individual volume and tone pots for increased tonal flexibility. The 3-piece neck combined with the ART-1 bridge and VT-06 tailpiece, meanwhile, ensure great tuning stability and optimum playing comfort.

A Comfy Workhorse for Jazz and Other Styles

The neck and fretboard are fully primed for playing joy and comfort and feature medium frets and a 12-inch radius for an immediately trusty feel, while the broad nut sets the strings far enough apart to leave ample room for more intricate licks and complex chords. Basically, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better jazz-axe in this price range.
