Full Hollow Venetian Cutaway Gold Hardware Black Flat 24.75" Scale

Ibanez Artcore AF75G Hollowbody Electric Guitar – Black Flat

A true full-hollow body with a Venetian cutaway, warm Classic Elite humbuckers, and gold hardware — built for players who want genuine hollowbody feel and versatility in a guitar that looks as good as it sounds.

The AF75G sits in a sweet spot that is genuinely hard to find: a true full-hollow electric guitar with a single cutaway, quality hardware, and a pickup set that covers serious tonal ground — all without the price tag of a boutique archtop. The Artcore line has been earning its reputation since 2002, and the AF75G carries that tradition forward with a slightly more compact body than the standard AF proportions while keeping the same full depth and hollow construction that produces the air, resonance, and natural warmth that hollow-body players seek. This is the guitar for the player who has been listening to jazz, blues, country, or indie records and wants to get closer to those tones without compromising playability. The bound rosewood fretboard with acrylic block inlays, gold hardware, and matte Black Flat finish give it a composed, professional look that works on any stage. Whether you're comping jazz chords, digging into a slow blues, or finding your own middle ground, the AF75G is a willing and capable partner.

Key Highlights

  • True full-hollow Linden body — not semi-hollow — with vintage-style f-holes and a single Venetian cutaway for upper-fret access
  • Set-in Nyatoh neck for a warm, resonant midrange character and the stable, sustaining feel of a glued joint
  • Bound Rosewood fretboard with acrylic block inlays — refined look, comfortable feel, familiar response
  • Classic Elite humbuckers (neck and bridge) — passive ceramic pickups voiced for balanced output and clear note definition across a wide range of styles
  • Gibraltar Performer bridge paired with VT60 trapeze tailpiece — stable intonation with the classic hollowbody aesthetic
  • Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup plus a 3-way selector — full control over your blend and character
  • Sure Grip III control knobs for precise, confident adjustments mid-performance
  • Gold hardware throughout — a classic pairing with the Black Flat finish that reads with real visual weight on stage
  • 24.75" scale length with 10.5mm string spacing — familiar feel for players coming from most other electric guitars
  • Ships strung with D'Addario EXL140 strings (.010–.052)

Why You'll Love It

The Hollow Body

There is a quality that full hollow-body guitars produce that nothing else quite replicates — an acoustic resonance and natural compression that shapes the way notes bloom and decay. The AF75G delivers that character genuinely. The Linden body construction with full depth gives the guitar real air and warmth unplugged, and that resonant quality carries through when you plug in. It rewards a light touch and responds honestly to how you play.

The Pickups

The Classic Elite humbuckers are specifically designed to complement the hollow-body's natural voice rather than fight it. The neck pickup produces a round, full tone that sits beautifully for jazz comping or blues leads, while the bridge pickup sharpens up with more snap and articulation suited to rhythm work and country or rock styles. With both pickups selected, you get a balanced, layered tone that covers a wide middle ground.

The Look and Feel

Black Flat is a deliberate finish choice — it gives the AF75G a modern, low-key sophistication that lets the guitar's shape and the gold hardware do the talking. The matte surface feels different in hand than a glossy coat, and many players find it more comfortable for long sessions. The Venetian cutaway keeps the silhouette classic while making the upper register genuinely accessible. This guitar has the look of something that costs considerably more.

Great Fit For

  • Jazz and jazz-blues players looking for authentic hollow-body warmth without a boutique price
  • Blues and roots players who want natural resonance, touch sensitivity, and a guitar that breathes
  • Country and rockabilly players drawn to the classic single-cutaway archtop aesthetic and articulate bridge pickup response
  • Indie and alternative players exploring tonal territory beyond solid-body guitars
  • Experienced players wanting a second guitar with a distinctly different voice and feel
  • Players who want stage-ready looks and reliable hardware without spending boutique money

Sound, Feel, and Use

The AF75G's full hollow construction means it has a natural acoustic voice that you can actually hear in the room without amplification — not enough to perform with, but enough to practice and get a clear sense of its tonal character. That resonance translates directly when plugged in. The Classic Elite pickups stay clear and defined even with the body's natural air and warmth behind them, which is something budget hollow-body designs sometimes struggle to manage. The neck pickup in particular is a pleasure — round without being muddy, present without being harsh. It is the kind of tone you dial in once and leave alone.

The set-in Nyatoh neck has a natural, organic feel in hand and the bound rosewood fretboard is smooth and comfortable across the 20-fret range. The 24.75" scale is a familiar length for most players, and the medium frets strike a good balance between comfort and feedback precision. The Gibraltar Performer bridge provides stable intonation, and the VT60 trapeze tailpiece keeps string tension relaxed in a way that suits fingerstyle and lighter pick attack particularly well. This is a guitar you can sit with for hours.
