The Ibanez AF55 Artcore hollowbody electric guitar delivers a quality instrument in a stripped-down, aggressive-looking package. The full-hollow maple body of the AF55 offers you a large, round tone with plenty of woody warmth that's well-suited for jazz, blues, older country styles, and rock. The flat finish and lack of extra ornamentation give the guitar a no-nonsense look that will be right at home onstage with a loud rock band. Ibanez's Artcore series delivers great quality instruments, such as this AF55, at an attainable price.

Identifiable and versatile hollowbody tone

The maple top, back, and sides of the AF55 electric guitar are a popular choice for hollowbody guitars. The maple brings out clarity and note definition in an otherwise warm sounding design. The deep body ensures you'll hear plenty of woody resonance. Working in conjunction with the wood and the guitar's design, the uncovered Ibanez Infinity humbucking pickups have enough output to perform well in many genres but are subtle enough to bring out the clarity and nuance of your playing.

Straightforward aesthetics

The first thing you'll notice when seeing the AF55 is the no-nonsense appeal of its design. Many guitarists agree that the flat finish begs for the instrument to be played hard, but it also has a quiet elegance. The uncovered Infinity pickups continue the aggressive aura of the instrument and allow for more attack to come through when you play. Dot inlays on the fretboard, minimal chrome hardware, and single-ply binding round out the aesthetics.

Part of Ibanez's popular Artcore series

Introduced in 2002, Ibanez's Artcore series has shown that quality hollowbody guitars are within reach of the majority of guitarists. Their workmanship, tone, and affordability have put them in the hands of players and artists in just about every genre of music. The AF55 carries on this tradition by offering a hollowbody that will appeal to your eyes, fingers, and ears, no matter what style of music you play.
