Here for sale we have an Ibanez AS73FM Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Azure Blue Gradation finish. Made in Indonesia in 2023, this guitar consists of a Linden body with a Flamed Maple top, a 1-piece Nyatoh neck, and a 22-fret Laurel fingerboard. Other appointments include an ART-1 bridge, Gotoh locking tuners, a Quik Change III Tailpiece, and a set of Classic Elite Humbuckers. These pickups are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector. 
 
The 1-pc Nyatoh neck plays very well, with the AS Artcore profile feeling somewhat like a rounded 'C' shape; fairly substantial in the hand without being at all cumbersome. Certainly, the profile provides a confidence-inspiring grip for chord playing whilst remaining slim enough for fast lead lines and solos. The Laurel fretboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 12" radius is practical for a wide range of styles and techniques. The Abalone block inlays add a sense of luxury to the playing experience while setting off the visually striking finish. 
 
The Classic Elite Humbucker in the neck position sounds thick and full, with a rich low end great for rhythm tonalities. The middle position provides a punchy, tight midrange great for chordal styles of playing whilst being able to cut through a mix. The Classic Elite Humbucker in the bridge position produces a clear and articulate top end, balancing very well with a punchy output,  providing a great feel and clarity, allowing the player to achieve a wide variety of tones all at the fingertips. The semi-hollow construction means that the tone is more open and airy than a solid body, whilst the pickups ensure that the guitar can drive an amplifier with ease, and is well suited to a broad range of genres. The classic control layout offers ease of use and a broad sweep of both volume and tone to really help you accurately dial in your desired tones.
