The Artcore Series AS73 from Ibanez is a hollow-body electric guitar made from linden for the top, back, and sides with a tobacco brown finish. The body is fitted with a nyatoh set-in neck which has a bound 22-fret walnut fingerboard and white dot inlay. The hollow double-cutaway body delivers a warm, resonant sound that is well suited for playing jazz, funk, blues, and rock.

The AS73 is equipped with a pair of Classic Elite humbucking neck and bridge pickups which offer a rich, nuanced tone with fat low end. A 3-way pickup selector switch and dedicated volume and tone controls for each pickup allow the player to fine-tune their desired sound. The guitar's sustain is enhanced by the ART-1 tuneomatic-style bridge and Quik Change III stop tailpiece. This attractive instrument is highly regarded for its playability and tone, and is also reasonably priced, making it an ideal choice for intermediate and advanced players.
