Frequently Asked Questions
What music styles is this guitar best for?
The AS73FMTIF excels in jazz, blues, rock, indie, and alternative music. The semi-hollow body provides warm, resonant tones perfect for clean jazz chords and smooth blues leads, while the Classic Elite humbuckers can handle everything from pristine cleans to crunchy rock tones.
What's the difference between semi-hollow and solid body guitars?
Semi-hollow guitars like the AS73FMTIF have a center block with hollow wings, creating a warmer, more resonant tone with natural acoustic qualities. They're lighter than solid bodies, produce more sustain and harmonic richness, and offer a unique "airy" sound. Solid body guitars are typically brighter and tighter with more attack, while semi-hollows provide a rounder, more organic tone.
How does the AS73FMTIF compare to the AS73GMSF?
Both are excellent Artcore semi-hollow guitars with the same core features (Classic Elite humbuckers, Gibraltar bridge, 24.7" scale). The main difference is the top: the AS73FMTIF features a premium flamed maple top with Transparent Indigo Faded Burst finish for a more boutique appearance, while the AS73GMSF has a Moonstone Fade finish. Both deliver the same great Artcore tone.
Does this guitar come with a case?
This guitar does not include a case, but we recommend the Ibanez M300C Guitar Case or Gator Electric Guitar Wood Case for optimal protection.
