Ibanez AS73 Transparent Tangerine Flat

The Ibanez AS73 Transparent Tangerine Flat brings semi-hollow soul and modern Ibanez precision together in a stage-ready package. A laminated maple body with a solid center block keeps feedback in check while letting the guitar breathe, yielding lively resonance and sustain. The HH Classic Elite humbuckers deliver a confident voice: warm, rounded neck tones for jazz and soul, articulate midrange for fusion clarity, and a tight, punchy bridge that holds its focus under crunchy rhythm or saturated leads.

A set-in AS Artcore neck promotes quick response and long-lasting sustain, pairing beautifully with the fast feel Ibanez is known for. The bound rosewood fingerboard features a 12-inch radius and medium frets for accurate bends and comfortable chording, with acrylic block inlays guiding the way. A familiar 24.7-inch scale enhances playability and sweetness in the upper mids, while the slim, comfortable profile encourages fluid runs and chord-melody work.

Hardware is rock solid and modern. The Gibraltar Performer bridge anchors intonation with TOM-like precision, and the Quik Change tailpiece makes string swaps effortless. A three-way selector teams with individual volume and tone controls for each Classic Elite pickup, offering a wide spread of usable sounds without fuss.

There’s no coil-split, but the pickups’ balanced output and clarity cover clean comping, crunchy indie textures, and classic rock grit with ease—and the center block keeps higher-gain authority tight and controlled. Wrapped in a satin Transparent Tangerine Flat finish over a resilient polyurethane, the AS73 looks as bold as it sounds. Built in Indonesia to Ibanez’s exacting standards, it embodies fast necks, modern bridges, and a versatile HH configuration that moves seamlessly from articulate cleans to confident drive.
