General
From the front, the Ibanez Artcore AFS75T-TRS looks like a typical semi-acoustic guitar with a gorgeous arched top, two humbuckers and an Ibanez vibrato unit. Even looking at the back won't reveal the ace up this Trans Red Sunburst beauty's sleeve. Only if you look at it from the side, you'll see that its body is quite a bit thinner than is normal for this type of guitar. The unusual thing about the Ibanez AFS75 is that it still manages to deliver a full hollow-body sound, while its sound box is hardly any deeper than that of a solid-body guitar. Simply put, the AFS75T-TRS gives you all of a hollow-body's pros, but none of its cons!
Wood types
This Ibanez Artcore guitar has a body that is 3 cm thinner than usual, and it's made entirely of maple. Because of its shape, its acoustic sound is rich and deep, while the maple balances that out with focused bass and sparkling trebles. It also features a mahogany neck that is set quite far into the body, allowing for improved sustain and increased stability. What's more, it's all finished in a deep Transparent Red Sunburst, and as a finishing touch, elegant bindings were applied to the neck, body and sound holes.
Hardware
Of course, a guitar such as this needs a classic vibrato unit, and the VBF70 vibrato, designed by Ibanez themselves, is certainly up to the job. Furthermore, the ART-Roller Bridge allows you to use the vibrato without the fear of detuning the strings, and it also helps with intonation. The headstock, meanwhile, features six ultra durable Ibanez tuners. Finally, there are two Ibanez Classic Elite ceramic humbuckers to take care of the electronic side of things. Together with the elaborate tone controls, these humbuckers allow for a wide range of different sounds, resulting in a remarkably versatile guitar!
