Ibanez AF95-DA Hollow-Body, Dark Amber Overview
The Ibanez AF95-DA is a single-cutaway hollowbody guitar with a warm, articulate tone that’s perfect for jazz players. Equipped with two Super 58 humbuckers, a smooth Macassar Ebony fretboard, a gorgeous Spruce top and Linden back and sides.
The AF is the most traditional design within the Artcore series. The full-hollow body construction means there are no sound blocks in the body. This construction method produces a rich, complex tone, expressed with a pure voice and full body, the tonal characteristics most highly desired among the discerning Jazz player.
Artcore Expressionist
For more than a decade, Ibanez has continued to energize the hollow-body market with a wide range of designs including everything from rockin’ semi-hollow hybrids to straight-up traditional jazz boxes. The Artcore Expressionist line established yet another chapter in the Artcore story. The Expressionist difference? Jazz fans will recognize the Ibanez original Super 58, the preferred pickup of George Benson, Pat Metheny and John Scofield on their own Signature models. A favourite among jazz players, but as funk guitarist Eric Krasno has been proving, the Super 58s perform well in a variety of situations. Warmth, balanced articulation, and excellent response are defining characteristics of the Super 58 pickups.
