The Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AG95K is increasingly becoming a top choice among guitarists seeking a hollowbody instrument. Crafted from acacia for its top, back, and sides, this guitar produces vibrant, articulate tones while effectively managing feedback with its center block. With a pair of Super 58 humbucking pickups, the AG95K delivers classic sounds reminiscent of various pop and rock recordings. It also features an easy-playing 3-piece nyatoh/maple neck, a bound ebony fingerboard, and stunning abalone inlays. If you're looking for a hollowbody guitar with classic tones and modern performance, the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AG95K is an excellent option.
Early hollowbody electric guitars faced significant hum issues with their single-coil pickups, leading guitar makers like Ibanez to develop specialized humbuckers such as the Super 58. These pickups maintain the AG95K's bite while eliminating 60Hz hum and other unwanted noise, providing expanded tonal options. With dedicated Volume and Tone controls for each pickup, along with a 3-way toggle switch, you have access to a wide range of tones.
Drawing from Ibanez's rich heritage of instrument craftsmanship, the Artcore Expressionist series offers exceptional playability. The AG Expressionist neck-profile ensures classic comfort and accessibility. Its 22-fret ebony fingerboard, with a versatile 12-inch radius, offers ample sustain and distinct voicing across all registers. Constructed from nyatoh and maple, the 3-piece set-in neck enhances harmonic depth and brightness while maintaining dimensional stability, ensuring durability against warping or twisting.
