Ibanez AS73G-MSF AS Series Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Moonstone Silver Flat

The Ibanez AS73G-MSF is a semi-hollow body electric guitar from the brand's Artcore AS series, finished in a distinctive Moonstone Silver Flat satin polyurethane. This design combines the resonant acoustic qualities of a hollow body with the sustain and feedback control of a solid centre block, making it suitable for a range of musical styles from jazz and blues to rock and country. Its construction focuses on delivering a balanced, natural tone with practical features for both rehearsal and live performance. The guitar is built with a Linden top, back, and sides, which contributes to its clear and accurate sonic character. It features a set-in Nyatoh neck, known for providing a rich mid-low response, paired with a bound rosewood fretboard with a 12-inch radius and 22 medium frets for comfortable playability and precise intonation. The hardware includes gold-finished Ibanez die-cast tuners, a Gibraltar Performer bridge for enhanced sustain and tuning stability, and a Quik Change III tailpiece designed to facilitate faster string replacement. Electrically, it is equipped with a pair of passive Classic Elite ceramic humbucker pickups, controlled via two volume and two tone knobs alongside a three-way toggle switch, offering a wide palette of warm, nuanced sounds. This model is well-suited for intermediate to advanced players seeking a versatile instrument that can handle both clean, articulate passages and driven, expressive leads. Its semi-hollow design makes it lighter than many solid-body guitars while still providing good resonance, and the satin finish on the neck promotes smooth hand movement. The included D'Addario EXL140 strings (.010-.052 gauge) are factory-fitted, and the overall design prioritises reliability and tonal flexibility, making it a practical choice for regular use in studio recordings, practice sessions, and gigging scenarios.
