Top-notch tonewoods lead to superior sound





Tonewoods are the very foundation of a guitar’s sound. And for a classic semi-hollow sound, Ibanez builds the AS113’s top from spruce with back and sides from flame maple. The tried-and-true design produces a bright tone with plenty of bite. Plus, the 3-piece nyatoh/maple neck topped with an ebony fingerboard adds some more top end. The Ibanez Artstar AS113 will surely impress you with its quality tonewoods and detail-oriented construction.

Sonic flexibility from Tri-sound electronics





The AS113 is equipped with a Tri-sound switch to unlock three different “voices” for the neck pickup. Now, the Super 58 humbucker in the neck can be used in series, parallel, and single-coil operation, opening the door for you to explore new and unique sounds. There’s a lot of tonal territory to cover here, and you’ll love exploring how each configuration sounds through your favorite amplifier or modeler.





Supremely comfortable neck





When you play your new AS113 for the first time, you’ll quickly notice its extremely comfortable neck care. The 3-piece nyatoh/maple neck features the AS Artstar neck profile, which provides the perfect balance between paper-thin playability and chunky comfort. As you play up and down the neck, your fingers will delight at the silky-smooth ebony fingerboard and luxurious Artstar fret edge treatment. Once you experience the AS113’s inspiring playability, you won’t want to play another axe.
