AM93ME-NT Natural High Gloss Artcore Expressionist

Artcore is a series of extremely affordable full-hollow and semi-hollow instruments where the quality is astonishingly good. Artcore has completely changed the view of what you can expect to get for your money when buying hollow or semi-hollow instruments. These are guitars that are just as good as a gateway to the world of jazz tins as they are as a main instrument or backup to the klenod guitar for the professional guitarist. An instrument that, in terms of price, you dare to take out on the road without being terrified that something should happen that shouldn't (and it always does) and to compromise too much on the quality of the instrument.

Easy-to-play, easy-to-handle, well-built, good-sounding instruments.

The AM93ME is one of the models in the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist series. A guitar with a slightly smaller body than a traditional 355 style guitar, with a through middle stock. The guitar is very insensitive to feedback/roundabout even at very high volume. A guitar that works well, whether you play it clean or heavily distorted and everything in between.

The guitar has a 3-piece Expressionist Nyatoh/maple set-in (glued into the body) neck, a medium thick neck with a round, C shaped, profile. Perfect for both solo and chord playing. The fretboard is bound in ebony with traditional acrylic block inlays and binding. Body, sides and bottom of Macassar ebony. The pickups are Ibanez Super 58 Custom, pickups that combine a soft and nuanced tone with an ability to bite when needed. Works just as well for pure and traditional jazz sounds as for overdriven blues and rock sounds .
