Description
The Ibanez AM93QA is a compact semi acoustic electric guitar that delivers warm, punchy tone with impressive sustain, all in a body size that feels instantly familiar to solid body players. First introduced in the early 1980s, the AM design has become a favourite for musicians who want the richness of a semi hollow guitar without the larger dimensions of traditional models.
Part of the Artcore Expressionist series, the AM93QA blends classic hollow body character with refined modern playability. Its smaller body enhances comfort and control while still providing the depth, warmth, and resonance that semi acoustic guitars are known for.
Artcore Expressionist Series
The Artcore Expressionist range represents a refined chapter in Ibanez’s hollow body evolution. At its heart are the renowned Super 58 pickups, long favoured by jazz legends and featured on multiple Ibanez signature models. Known for their warmth, balanced articulation, and dynamic response, these pickups excel in jazz settings while remaining versatile enough for blues, fusion, rock, and more.
Main Features
3 Piece Nyatoh and Maple Neck
The three piece Nyatoh and maple neck provides a rich mid low response and excellent resonance, offering a stable and comfortable feel for both chord work and melodic playing.
Macassar Ebony Fretboard
The Macassar ebony fretboard delivers tight lows, focused mids, and strong attack in the high frequencies. Its quick response and rich sustain contribute to the guitar’s clear, articulate voice.
Medium Frets
Medium sized frets improve note accuracy and control, supporting smooth phrasing and confident articulation across the neck.
Quilted Ash Top with Quilted Ash Back and Sides
The quilted ash construction produces a pleasing brightness with rich sustain, while also offering a striking visual appearance that enhances the AM93QA’s premium feel.
Super 58 Pickups
Super 58 pickups feature moderate output with classic vintage voicing. They deliver warmth, balance, and expressive dynamics, making them ideal for clean tones and smooth overdrive.
Gibraltar Performer Bridge
The Gibraltar Performer bridge provides excellent sustain and tuning stability. Its low saddle position enhances overall playing comfort and smooth feel.
Quik Change III Tailpiece
The Quik Change III tailpiece allows for fast and easy string changes, making maintenance quick and hassle free.
Compact Size, Classic Tone
With its smaller semi acoustic body, premium tonewoods, and expressive electronics, the Ibanez AM93QA is an outstanding choice for players seeking traditional hollow body warmth in a more manageable and versatile format. Whether on stage or in the studio, it delivers refined tone, comfort, and reliability across a wide range of musical styles.
