Artocore is a series of extremely affordable full-hollow and semi-hollow guitars where the quality is astonishingly good. These are guitars that completely changed the view of what you can expect to get for your money when you buy hollow guitars. These are guitars that are just as good as a gateway to the world of jazz tins as they are as a backup to the klenod guitar, or lead instrument, for the professional guitarist. A guitar you dare to take out on the road in terms of price without compromising too much on the quality of the instrument. They are also perfect guitars for those who primarily play solid electric guitars but want a good, yet affordable, hollow guitar in their arsenal. Easy-to-play, easy-to-handle and well-built instruments. So a guitar series that works just as well for beginners as for full-blooded professionals, and everyone in between.
In the series there are several different models with different orientation, execution and appearance, from pure jazz machines to rockabilly cans to blues and rock guitars. There are more lavish and luxurious models to simpler, no-frills models. Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it here.
AF75 is the traditionalist in the AF series, classic look and design and classic sound and playing feel. The body is completely hollow (no middle log) and is built of maple in the lid, sides and bottom. The mahogany neck meets the body at 14 frets with a set-in construction. The profile is Artcore, a medium-thick and slightly C-shaped neck profile. The pickups, Ibanez's own Classic Elite pickups, are connected to a 3-position toggle switch and have separate volume and tone for each pickup.
