Ibanez AF Artcore Expressionist | AF95FM - Antique Yellow Sunburst

The Ibanez AF95FM is a full-hollow body guitar from the Artcore Expressionist series, designed for players who want the warm, traditional tone of a classic jazz instrument. Its flame maple top, back, and sides not only provide an elegant visual finish but also deliver a bright, resonant sound with excellent projection. With no sound blocks inside the body, the AF95FM produces a rich, open tone that responds well to dynamic playing, making it a strong choice for jazz musicians seeking clarity, depth, and nuance in their sound.

Equipped with Ibanez Super 58 pickups, the AF95FM offers balanced articulation, warmth, and a vintage-inspired character. These pickups are known for their versatility, favoured by legendary players such as George Benson, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield. They excel in delivering smooth jazz tones but also perform effectively in blues, soul, and other styles where articulation and responsiveness are essential. Combined with the artistically designed VT06 tailpiece and Gibraltar Performer bridge, the guitar benefits from both strong tuning stability and enhanced sustain, ensuring reliable performance for studio sessions and live playing.

The AF95FM is built with player comfort and performance in mind. Its 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple neck adds stability and provides a resonant mid-low end, while the Macassar Ebony fretboard enhances tonal clarity with tight lows, strong mids, and a sharp, quick attack in the highs. The 628mm scale length and 305mm fretboard radius make the guitar easy to play, with smooth bends and accurate intonation across all 20 medium frets. Offering a combination of refined aesthetics, professional features, and exceptional tonal range, the Ibanez AF95FM is a reliable instrument for serious players looking for both style and substance.
