The Ibanez Artcore AS53L-TF Lefthand Tobacco Flat from the Artcore series by Ibanez combines the nimble doublecut design of the AM53 with a larger body volume. The handy electric guitar for left-handers presents itself as a versatile tool for jazzy cleans over classic blues crunch to the gain-rich sound of modern rock.
Two pickups in the form of the proven Ibanez Infinity R ceramic humbuckers provide the guitar amp with harmonious tones between glassy cleans and creamy overdrive. To adjust the sound, there is also a 3-way switch and general controls for volume and tone.
The glued Nyatoh neck in Artcore AS profile with slim design and good accessibility of the high registers on the 22-fret walnut fingerboard also ensures a coherent feeling when playing electric guitar on the AS53L Lefthand. The body of the semi-acoustic electric guitar for left-handers is made in the proven manner with top, back and sides made of Sapele, whereby the center block reliably counteracts feedback.
Ibanez Artcore AS53L-TF Lefthand Tobacco FlatWas looking for an entry level jazz guitar and this one got very good revues on youtube so I decided to give it a shot.
First impressions, very good build quality (mines an Indonesian), positive feel tuners, great acoustic sound and after a bit of setup, a really low action. No problem getting a jazzy sound from the neck pickup. I will probably add heavier strings later. Absolutely recommen this guitar as a quality all rounder.
Waited a long time to purchase a new guitar,sounds and looks amazing and for the money it's fantastic cheers everyone.
