Ibanez semi-hollow guitar with Artcore construction
The Ibanez Artcore AS53TF Tobacco Flat is a semi-hollow guitar for players looking for an electric model with classic Artcore construction. The body uses linden top, back and sides, combined with an AS Artcore Nyatoh set-in neck for a fixed neck joint.
You play on a bound walnut fretboard with white dot inlay, 22 medium frets and a 305 mm radius. The 628 mm scale length, 43 mm nut width and 57 mm width at the 22nd fret give you a clear picture of the dimensions of this Ibanez.
Infinity R humbuckers and practical hardware
For amplified sound, the Ibanez AS53TF uses an Infinity R (H) neck pickup and an Infinity R (H) bridge pickup. Both pickups are passive and ceramic, making this semi-hollow guitar suitable for players looking for a humbucker setup.
The Gibraltar Performer bridge works together with a Quik Change III tailpiece, while the string spacing measures 10.5 mm. From the factory, the tuning is set to 1E, 2B, 3G, 4D, 5A, 6E and the string gauges run from .010 to .052.
Finish and playing dimensions of the AS53TF
The Tobacco Flat finish gives this Ibanez Artcore a restrained brown look, completed with chrome hardware. The neck dimensions are also clearly specified: 21 mm thickness at the 1st fret and 24 mm at the 9th fret.
