Review Summary
2022-04-04T20:40:10
I picked up an AS73FM-TAF about a year and a half ago, after reading numerous reviews. The Ibanez pickups are well-balanced, sound great, and some owners have changed pickups with the caveat that it isn't necessary. I consider this a great instrument as is, since the Ibanez hardware is of great quality. I asked and plan to use Elixir or NYXL 10-46 strings (and I have a set of Reverend Willie's 9s) stored in the Ibanez AS100C case (made by TKL Cases, also good quality). MusicNomad's Case Humitar and HumiReader also reside in the case to maintain the instrument at the ideal temperature and humidity.

With the Ibanez AS Artcore Series AS73G Electric Guitar in Moonstone Silver Flat, musicians can explore a versatile range of musical genres with ease. This semi-acoustic guitar is expertly designed to handle everything from blues and jazz to rock and country, making it a perfect choice for any guitarist seeking a reliable and adaptable instrument. The AS73G features pickups mounted directly to the center block, enhancing sustain and effectively eliminating feedback, which is crucial for live performances and studio recordings.
Since its introduction in 2002, the Ibanez Artcore series has been celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and affordability, earning a dedicated following among musicians worldwide. The Artcore series is renowned for delivering the pure, resonant tones of a classic jazz-box while also offering the dynamic versatility of a semi-hollow rocker. This guitar is highly esteemed for its impressive tone, sustain, and expressive playability.
The AS73G is equipped with a Nyatoh neck, which contributes a rich mid-low end, enhancing the guitar's overall sound profile. The rosewood fretboard adds a well-balanced, solid tone with a focused mid-range, while the medium-sized frets ensure precise note accuracy. Constructed with a Linden top, back, and sides, this guitar produces a natural and flat, yet accurate, tone that suits a variety of musical styles.
The Classic Elite pickups are a standout feature, providing a rich, nuanced tone with a robust low-end, perfect for achieving a full-bodied sound. The Gibraltar Performer bridge offers excellent sustain and tuning stability, with low-positioned saddles that ensure comfortable playability. Additionally, the Quik Change III tailpiece allows for faster and easier string changes, making it a practical choice for musicians who require efficiency and reliability.
Overall, the Ibanez AS Artcore Series AS73G Electric Guitar in Moonstone Silver Flat is a testament to Ibanez's commitment to quality and innovation, offering musicians a versatile and expressive instrument that meets the demands of both traditional and modern music styles.
