Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AS93FM Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar – Transparent Moss Green

A jaw-dropping flamed-maple semi-hollow with Super 58 humbuckers, ebony fingerboard with acrylic block inlays, gold hardware, and the rich Transparent Moss Green finish — versatile enough for jazz, blues, rock, R&B, and everything in between.

A Smart Fit For You

The AS93FM is the kind of semi-hollow that genuinely punches above its price class. The full-sized double-cutaway body is built from flamed maple top, back, and sides with elegant ivory multi-binding, and the center sustain block routes feedback into well-behaved territory while still giving you that woody, breathing semi-hollow voice. Drop in Ibanez's Super 58 humbuckers — the same pickup design that anchors signature models from George Benson, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield — and you get a warm, balanced, articulate tone that flatters jazz comping, blues bends, rock chord work, and clean R&B with equal skill. The set-in nyatoh and maple neck with bound ebony fingerboard, the Quik Change III tailpiece that makes string changes painless, gold hardware throughout, and the Transparent Moss Green finish that shows off the flame figure in dramatic depth — it all adds up to a guitar that's as inspiring to look at as it is to play.

Sound and Feel

The AS93FM has the kind of voice that makes you want to keep playing. Acoustically (unplugged), the semi-hollow body gives you a quiet, woody resonance under your hands that informs everything you do — you can feel the guitar move against your body in a way solidbodies don't. Plugged in, the Super 58 humbuckers deliver that classic Artcore character: warm and rounded on the neck pickup for jazz chord work and singing leads, brighter and more focused on the bridge pickup for blues and rock rhythm, and the in-between position gives you a clean, balanced voice perfect for fingerstyle and R&B comping. The center sustain block keeps the feedback under control at higher gain settings, so you can push it into rock territory without the howling that plagues fully hollow archtops. The 24.75" scale length and medium-frets on the ebony fingerboard feel familiar and easy under the hand, the Quik Change III tailpiece makes string changes painless, and the gold hardware on Transparent Moss Green just looks stunning under stage lights.
