Ibanez Artcore AK95 Hollow Body Electric GuitarThe Ibanez AG95 Artcore Hollow Body Electric Guitar is maybe the most traditional of the Artcores.
The true full hollow AK eschews the brighter sound of maple tops and metal bridges used in most of Artcores. In their place are a spruce top and all wood bridge for the warmer, traditional sound favored in small group and jazz trio formats.

When
Ibanez Artcore guitars debuted in summer 2002, they turned the music industry upside down. No longer were full and semi acoustic guitars just big expensive jazz boxes for jazz players—even some of our competitors bought them (no, we're not making this up). With Artcore guitars you get an amazingly affordable price plus the quality and tone you expect from Ibanez, the guitar company with over four decades of experience making full and semi acoustic guitars.
