Ibanez AS53TF Semi Hollow Body, Tobacco Flat

The Ibanez AS53‑TF delivers warm, expressive semi‑hollow tone in a sleek, minimalist package built for players who want classic feel without the bulk or weight of a traditional hollowbody. Its sapele body provides a rich, resonant character with excellent midrange presence, while the Tobacco Flat finish gives the guitar a clean, understated, vintage‑inspired look. Lightweight, comfortable, and incredibly responsive, the AS53 is perfect for long sessions on stage or in the studio.

Equipped with a pair of Infinity R humbuckers, the AS53 offers smooth, balanced tone that excels in jazz, blues, worship, indie, and clean or edge‑of‑breakup styles. These pickups stay articulate and controlled, even at higher gain settings, making the guitar surprisingly versatile for rock and modern genres as well. The ART‑ST bridge and tailpiece provide stable tuning and solid sustain, while the nyatoh neck and walnut fingerboard deliver a comfortable, familiar feel for chords, comping, and melodic lead work.

Elegant, reliable, and built for expressive players, the AS53‑TF is a semi‑hollow that punches far above its price point. Whether you’re chasing warm cleans, smooth jazz tones, or gritty blues textures, this guitar responds beautifully to your touch and style.
