IBANEZ AF55-TKF HOLLOW BODY ELECTRIC GUITAR

The Ibanez AF55-TKF is the most traditional design within the Artcore series, representing the purest expression of the hollow body guitar format in the entire Ibanez lineup. Unlike semi-hollow designs, the AF55 features a true full-hollow body construction with no sound blocks in the body — a method that produces a rich, complex tone expressed with a pure voice and full body resonance, delivering precisely the tonal qualities most sought after by serious jazz players and hollow body enthusiasts. For musicians across the UAE seeking an ibanez artcore hollow body guitar with genuine vintage character and expressive acoustic resonance, the AF55-TKF in Transparent Black Flat is an outstanding and thoughtfully specified instrument.
First introduced in 2002, the Artcore series has remained a respected workhorse hollow body platform for musicians across diverse genres including blues, country, rock, and jazz, praised consistently for its tone, sustain, and expressive playability. The AF55 continues that tradition with a Linden top, back, and sides delivering a natural, flat, and accurate tonal foundation with the open warmth only a full hollow body can produce. The set-in Nyatoh neck provides a rich mid-low end with great resonance, and the Bound Walnut fretboard adds a well-balanced tonal response across the full frequency range, dressed with clean white dot inlays across 20 Medium frets for accurate note placement and comfortable playability.
Dual Infinity R humbuckers at neck and bridge positions deliver an accurate, tight sound with excellent dynamics and full tonal clarity that holds up even under heavier gain settings, giving this hollow body electric guitar a versatile tonal range well beyond the jazz box stereotype. The VT06 tailpiece contributes great tuning stability and additional sustain, while the Gibraltar Performer bridge ensures precise intonation and comfortable low-saddle playability. Chrome hardware throughout gives the AF55-TKF a clean, classic aesthetic that pairs elegantly with the deep, sophisticated Transparent Black Flat finish.
