Artcore Series

Ibanez Artcore offers an incredibly affordable series of full-hollow and semi-hollow guitars with surprisingly high quality. This series has revolutionized expectations for what you can get for your money when buying hollow guitars.

These guitars are perfect for introducing guitarists to the world of jazz guitars, serving as a backup to your valuable guitar, or as the main instrument for professional musicians.

These instruments are easy to play and well-built.

Artcore guitars are equally suited for beginners and seasoned pros, and everyone in between. The series includes a wide range of models that cover various styles, designs, and sounds, from pure jazz guitars to rockabilly guitars, as well as blues and rock guitars. There are both luxurious, more expensive models and simpler, more stripped-down options. Whatever you are looking for, you will find it here.

AG75G-BS (Brown Sunburst)

The AG75G is a model that closely resembles the AF75 but features a slightly smaller and slimmer body compared to traditional jazz guitars. This design results in excellent articulation and a highly comfortable playing experience. While it incorporates simpler pickups compared to more expensive models, the AG75G remains a well-constructed instrument.

The guitar features a Nyatoh Artcore neck with a rosewood fretboard adorned with acrylic block inlays. Its fully hollow body, made of laminated linden for the top, sides, and back, provides a durable build with excellent tonal properties.

Equipped with Ibanez Classic Elite pickups, the AG75G delivers a dynamic yet somewhat mellow tone, making it well-suited for clean to moderately overdriven sounds. While designed to excel with clean and mildly distorted tones, the guitar is versatile enough to handle various styles, including classic rock. The pickups, featuring ceramic magnets, are connected via a 3-way toggle switch with separate volume and tone controls for each pickup. This setup ensures that the guitar can achieve both a focused jazz lead sound and a warm rhythm tone without compromising tonal clarity.
