IBANEZ ASV73-VLL ARTCORE VINTAGE VIOLIN SUNBURST LOW GLOSS
Throughout the years, the Artcore line has provided excellent hollow and semi-hollow body instruments for working musicians. The Artcore Expressionist Vintage series continues this tradition with guitars that recapture the style and sophistication of the good old days. Artcore Expressionist Vintage models immediately feel as comfortable as a beloved old leather jacket.
The ASV73’s stylish semi-hollow aged finished body is made to handle almost any musical challenge imaginable. The 3-piece Nyatoh set-in neck features a bound Laurel fretboard with aged white block inlays and medium frets for a super smooth feel. The ASV73’s Classic Elite pickups deliver a full-bodied tone and well-balanced output. Sure Grip III knobs provide non-slip functionality and an ART-1 bridge provides improved sustain and tuning stability.
Rockin’ Artcore Vintage Semi
If you want a semi-hollowbody electric guitar with classic looks and premium modern touches — all for a song — then take a good look at the Ibanez Artcore Vintage ASV73 Semi-Hollow. Distressed to conjure the vibey charm of a decades-old axe that’s seen its share of onstage action, this beautiful instrument features an old-school look with modern tonal expressiveness. One particularly classy touch is the walnut fingerboard on the ASV73’s slim, comfortable neck. Loaded with a pair of sweet, singing Classic Elite humbuckers, the Ibanez ASV73 hollowbody delivers a wide range of tone perfect for any musical adventure.
Semi-hollow construction for superior tone, sustain, and feedback resistance
There’s no substitute for the mellow and naturally resonant tone of a semi-hollowbody electric guitar, and Ibanez built the ASV73 to deliver their definitive take of this classic sound. Semi-hollowbody guitars have a solid center block into which the pickups, bridge, and tailpiece are affixed. This not only gives the guitar sustain characteristics more similar to a solidbody but also provides feedback resistance. Whether you’re playing rockabilly, blues, jazz, or any number of modern fusion styles, you’re going to love the sonic character the ASV73 brings to your music.
Sweet, singing Classic Elite humbuckers
Ibanez spec’d the Artcore Vintage ASV73 with a pair of Classic Elite humbuckers. These pickups use ceramic magnets for that sweet, singing tone associated with vintage humbucking pickups, preserving your ASV73’s natural acoustical warmth and bite while ditching the noise and 60-cycle hum. What’s more, Classic Elite humbuckers have a uniquely musical character that guitarists at Je Matt Guitar.
Slim neck and fingerboard provide superior playability
The neck of any guitar has a lot to do with how well it plays, which is why Ibanez selected one of their smoothest and most comfortable necks for the Artcore ASV73 semi-hollowbody guitar. Not only will your hand love the slim carve of this neck, but your fingers will appreciate silky-smooth walnut fingerboard, with no fret ends to impede your dexterity. And since the ASV73’s neck meets its double-cutaway body at the 17th fret, you get easy access to all of those typically hard to reach high notes.
