Up for sale is an excellent condition Ibanez Artcore AS53 semi-hollow body electric guitar in the sleek, stealthy Transparent Black Flat (TKF) satin finish. This is the ultimate budget-friendly jazz, blues, and rock machine, but it plays, tunes, and looks significantly better than a stock model thanks to some key functional and aesthetic upgrades.

Premium Enhancements:

• Locking Tuning Machines: Upgraded to high-quality locking tuners. String changes take seconds, and the tuning stability is rock-solid even with heavy bending.
• Matching Black Hardware: The stock chrome bridge, tailpiece, and knobs have been swapped out for sleek black hardware. This creates a killer, all-blacked-out aesthetic that perfectly complements the dark wood grain of the Transparent Black Flat finish.

The semi-hollow construction with an internal solid center block provides a perfect balance of natural acoustic warmth and feedback resistance when playing through an amplifier.
