If you want a hollowbody electric guitar with classic looks and premium modern touches all for a song then take a good look at the Ibanez AF55. This beautiful instrument features an Artcore AF nyatoh set neck and linden top, back, and sides, vintage-style F-holes, and an old-school look with modern tonal expressiveness. One particularly classy touch is the AF55’s bound walnut fingerboard. Loaded with a pair of warm-sounding, balanced Infinity R humbuckers, the Ibanez AF55 left-handed hollowbody is ready to plug in and let loose.

Classic hollowbody design and tonewoods

In true hollowbody fashion, the Ibanez AF55 is completely hollow, and its top, back, and sides are made of sonically bright, toneful linden. A set-in nyatoh neck and bound walnut fretboard contribute to the excellent playability of the AF55. String vibrations are transferred faithfully from the rosewood base of the Gibraltar Performer bridge to the carved linden for optimal sound. At every point in the Ibanez AF55 build process, premium tonewoods are used to create the best-sounding guitar possible.

Humbuckers capture resonance without the 60-cycle hum

Early hollowbody and semi-hollowbody electric guitars had a wonderfully expressive tone that came with serious hum issues. That’s why Ibanez and other guitar makers have developed special humbuckers, such as the Infinity R series models. These special humbuckers preserve your AF55 hollowbody guitar’s bite while ditching the 60Hz hum and other noise. What’s more, Infinity R humbuckers give the AF55 a unique musical character that you’re sure to have fun with. The AF55’s passive pickups use ceramic magnets for that sweet, singing tone associated with hollowbody guitars. Take it from us: the Ibanez AF55 has the big hollowbody tone you’ve been looking for.

Well suited for just about any gig

Hollowbody guitars are used in many different styles of music. The AF55 is great for jazz, rockabilly, and myriad other genres. Hollowbodies have even been used in rock ‘n’ roll, fusion, and country bands. Get the Ibanez AF55 and start playing with big, rich hollowbody tone today!
