"For a decade now, Ibanez has energized the hollow-body segment with a wide range of designs—from rockin’ hybrids to straight-up jazz-boxes. Built with tone woods selected for their beauty as well as their musicality, the Artcore line covers the wide range of styles for which Ibanez hollow and semi-hollow bodies are known.

The AM53 features a Sapele top, back and sides in resonant transparent flat finish. The fretboard is rich Rosewood contrasted by white dot inlays, set to a slim Mahogany set-in neck that has proven its reliability on thousands of Ibanez hollow and semi-hollow bodies throughout the years. Infinity R pickups feature warm, balanced articulation and excellent response for various music genres."
