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 thumb your nose too much at the quality of the instrument. Easy-to-play, easy-to-handle, well-built, good-sounding instruments.
The AS7312 is a 12-string version of Ibanez's highly successful AS series.
AS is a traditional body shape that feels great to play on, a recognizable look.
A 12th version is an inspiring instrument to lift/color songs with, simply to get other timbres and colors to play with. Or for bands with two guitarists who want to broaden their sound. Together with a capo, it is the world's nicest studio companion and a must for anyone involved in recording.
