Semi-Hollow AS Body Infinity R Humbuckers Tobacco Flat

Buyer-Fit Overview

The AS53TF is a smart pick for players who want semi-hollow character without the size or fuss of a full hollowbody. It’s an easy “do-it-all” guitar for blues, rock, jazz, worship, and home recording—warm cleans, smooth gain tones, and the kind of feel that makes you want to keep playing.

Key Highlights

  • Warm, resonant semi-hollow voice that adds depth to clean chords and keeps overdrive thick but defined.
  • Comfortable set-in neck feel for smooth movement up the neck and a more “connected” response.
  • Clear, tight humbucker tones from Infinity R pickups—great note separation for rhythm and leads.
  • Gig-friendly hardware with Gibraltar Performer bridge stability and quick string changes via Quik Change III tailpiece.

Why You’ll Love It

Features

Semi-hollow AS body with linden top/back/sides, a Nyatoh set-in neck, bound rosewood fretboard, and dual Infinity R humbuckers with a 3-way selector.

Advantages

The semi-hollow design gives your tone more air and dimension, while the humbuckers keep it controlled when you add gain. The set-in neck feel encourages smooth phrasing and easy vibrato.

Benefits

You can cover a full night of music with one guitar—bigger clean tones, confident rhythm crunch, and lead lines that sing without getting harsh or thin.

Great Fit For

  • Players chasing semi-hollow warmth for blues, rock, jazz, and worship
  • Rhythm guitarists who want fuller chords with clear note separation
  • Home recording setups that benefit from natural resonance and depth
  • Anyone who wants classic looks and feel at a practical price point

Sound / Feel / Use Case

Expect a warm midrange and a slightly “open” acoustic bloom that makes clean parts feel bigger. With gain, the Infinity R humbuckers stay focused and punchy—so riffs keep their edge and leads stay articulate without getting fizzy.

From Spotts Music Center

Semi-hollows have a way of making every part feel more musical—clean chords sound wider, and lead lines seem to “breathe” a little more. The AS53TF nails that vibe in a comfortable, stage-ready package. If you want help dialing in strings, setup, or pickup height for your style, call or text us anytime.
