Ibanez AM93ME Artcore Expressionist, Natural - Secondhand

Full Description

Exceptional hollowbody tone

Complete tonal freedom. The Artcore Expressionist blows sonic versatility wide open. Hollowbody guitars are renowned for their ability to produce fuller, more-resonant tones than their solid-body counterparts. Possessing the warm, rounded qualities of an acoustic guitar, hollowbody guitars deliver an unmatched presence on stage.

The elegant hollowbody design also features a double cutaway for enhanced playability, and providing you with precise control across all 21 frets. Achieve a beautifully mellow tone, perfect for jazz, blues, and rock genres. There's a reason the likes of B.B. King, Paul McCartney, and John Lennon have all used this kind of guitar as their go-to. It's time for you to experience why.

Tremendous electric sound

Wide-reaching tone to suit any genre or style. Ibanez have equipped the Artcore Expressionist with a pair of powerful Super 58 pickups. With wonderfully balanced sound, they'll communicate everything you play brilliantly. So whether you're looking for booming, bassy power chords, or piercing, sharp solos, this is a pickup system that can do it all.

The Super 58 humbuckers are also fantastic at delivering your music with clarity. Jazz fans will recognize the original Ibanez Super 58 pickups—the preferred pickup of George Benson, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield for their own signature models. They're designed to reduce noise interference excellently, and ensure that your sound is crisp and clear. You'll never have to worry about your sound being crackly or unclear again.

Irresistible feel

You won’t want to put it down. The Artcore Expressionist is crafted to impress from the moment you get your hands on it. A sleek ebony fretboard guarantees a smooth playing experience like no other. Combined with a 3-piece, maple and nyatoh set neck, you’ll experience supreme resonance throughout the entirety of the instrument. Topped off with an all-macassar ebony body for an added dynamic response, the AM93ME delivers tonal excellence in all departments.

Not only is the Artcore Expressionist built for playability – but it flaunts a stunning aesthetic too. A natural gloss finish makes for an effortlessly vintage look, along with a tortoise-shell pickguard for even more style. Fitted entirely with gold hardware, this guitar boasts an added element of class on stage. Unmistakable tone, and a jaw-dropping stage presence; the AM93ME simply won’t let you down.
