Ibanez Artcore AM78-NBK Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar – Black

“Warm Tone, Sleek Style, Built to Groove”

A Compact Semi-Hollow for Jazz, Rock, and Everything In Between

The Ibanez Artcore AM78-NBK is a sleek semi-hollow electric guitar designed for players who crave warm, expressive tone in a compact body. With its double-cutaway design and smaller frame, it offers the resonance of a hollow body with the comfort and control of a solid-body feel—perfect for jazz, blues, indie, and classic rock.

Crafted with a maple top, back, and sides, and paired with a set-in mahogany neck, the AM78 delivers rich sustain and articulate mids. The Classic Elite humbuckers provide a broad tonal range, from mellow cleans to gritty overdrive. Finished in a deep black gloss with chrome hardware, this guitar is as visually striking as it is sonically versatile.
