Frequently Asked Questions
It’s less airy and resonant than a full hollow, the basswood body dampens some of the overtones, but retains a pleasing warmth and sustain.
The AF Artcore profile is a mid-range thickness – not super thin like some Ibanez models, but also not a chunky vintage ‘C’ shape.
The Infinity R pickups are surprisingly capable, offering a good range of tones, but upgrading would allow for more aggressive high-gain sounds.
