Dynamic pickups
Positioned at the neck and bridge are humbuckers designed to give you a tremendous playing experience from start to finish. Their vintage tonal properties are ideal for players wanting to project a superb jazz tone whilst their balanced articulation lends itself a range of other styles. For a warm tone with plenty of versatility, trusted enough to be used by the likes of George Benson and John Scofield, the Super 58 pickups do not disappoint.
Not only is this guitar equipped with such vibrant pickups, it also comes with versatile controls that desire the skilful adjustment of any accomplished guitarist. With two volume controls and two tone controls, you can sculpt your sound with amazing precision, tailoring how each pickup impacts your music. Choose to use either or both pickups and create a truly distinctive sound. From the first note you play, be instantly recognisable.
An innovatively designed neck
When investing in an electric guitar, the neck and fretboard are parts that should be scrutinised in detail. Afterall, they make up the thinnest part of the guitar yet the most frequently attacked. Ibanez have thought about this considerably and have produced a neck that is not only strong and sturdy, but also offers gorgeous tonal attributes. It is then matched perfectly by the fretboard mounted on top.
Crafted from nyatoh and maple, the three-piece neck has been constructed in a signature AM Expressionist profile, offering smooth playability and brilliant sound. Nyatoh is wonderfully smooth and brings a warmth of sound, whilst maple brings qualities that make this guitar perfect for performing with. The latter is a dense hardwood which means it offers quick note decay, ideal for sparkling clarity with minimal feedback, so you can deliver a focused and tight tone. Project every note with articulation, even when you're strumming, each string will ring out clearly - completely sublime.
The ultimate playability
Further increasing the Ibanez AMH90's playability is an exquisite ebony fretboard. For years, ebony has been relied upon for its natural characteristics that electric guitars benefit from immensely… and this guitar is no different. Fret at speed and incredible ease thanks to ebony's high oil content, it gives the fretboard a gloriously smooth and fast finish. Better still, it is durable, an enticing attribute for such a stunning guitar.
It will last you for years to come, promising magical performances night after night, the next one always as superb as the last. In terms of its tone, ebony allows for a crisp and bright attack, a wonderful accompaniment to the warmth of nyatoh and articulation of maple. Its snappy response is ideal for gigging with as it creates gorgeous clarity and purpose in every single note.
Striking aesthetic, thrilling sound
Even from a glance, it's obvious that the Ibanez AMH90 Artcore Expressionist has been built to assit you in delivering an absolute blinder of a performance. Showcasing a stunning cherry red flat finish with striking gold hardware, you can be sure that you will look the part as well as sound it. When you're armed with this on stage, it is easy to feel immense confidence wash over you, releasing your inner musician for the world to see. Prepare for an absolutely exhilarating performance.
