Watch
Rich. Words. Music.'s hollow-body shootout covers 2025 Ibanez Artcore models with Krenar Cilku, so treat it as a guide to the range rather than to this exact guitar.
Why it matters
The AS93FM has been in Ibanez's Artcore line since 2018 and belongs to the Expressionist tier. It uses a flamed maple body with a centre block, a nyatoh/maple neck, an ebony fingerboard and two humbucking pickups, in a Transparent Moss Green finish. It is listed at $799 as of September 2026.
Note
Ibanez's Expressionist-tier Artcore semi-hollow pairs a flamed maple body and ebony board with a slim, fast neck. It is the go-to sub-$800 semi-hollow for jazz, blues and indie players.
