Sound & Tone
The layered spruce top over flamed maple back and sides, built around a center block, gives this semi-hollow a bright, articulate attack with woody projection and controlled sustain rather than loose feedback. The Super 58 humbuckers sit in moderate-output, vintage-leaning territory, warm and full through the neck pickup for jazz comping and blues phrasing, with enough clarity at the bridge for fusion lines and rock rhythm work. Tri-sound switching between series, parallel, and single-coil modes thins and brightens each pickup for snappier, more defined voicings, and the 24.7" scale with .010-.052 strings keeps bends and chord work relaxed under the fingers.
Ibanez AS113BS Artstar B-Stock Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar
The AS113BS feels natural in your hands with its balanced, moderately-sized semi-hollow body and responsive Artstar profile neck—a guitar engineered for hours of playing without fatigue. Its spruce top paired with flamed maple back and sides cuts through on stage with bright, articulate attack and strong projection, while the dual Super 58 humbuckers and tri-sound switching unlock genuine tonal range across jazz, blues, fusion, and rock applications. This B-stock example offers access to premium construction at a reduced price, with only minor cosmetic blemishes that do not affect playability or sound.
Playability & Construction
The set-neck Nyatoh/Maple construction with Macassar Ebony fingerboard and 22 medium frets deliver smooth, precise action for chord work and intricate single-note lines alike. Body dimensions of 19 1/4" length × 15 3/4" width × 2 5/8" max depth and a 628mm (24.7") scale create an instrument that pairs traditional semi-hollow character with modern ergonomics, while the bone nut and fret edge treatment sustain notes with clarity and keep your fretting hand comfortable through long sets.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Super 58 humbuckers deliver moderate-output, vintage-leaning warmth without sacrificing clarity—each pickup responds to the tri-sound switch (series/parallel/single-coil) to expand your sonic palette from rich, full-bodied tones to articulate, single-coil-like definition. The Gibraltar Performer bridge with Quik Change III tailpiece and Ibanez tuners keep you locked in tune under gigging conditions with strong sustain, while independent volume and tone controls on each channel let you shape your sound on the fly without complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock indicates the AS113BS is fully functional with minor cosmetic blemishes that do not affect playability, tone, or construction integrity. All hardware, electronics, and structural elements perform as they would on a new unit.
How does the tri-sound switching work?
The 3-way mini toggle switch lets you select series (full humbucking thickness), parallel (balanced output with clarity), or single-coil mode (articulate, thin tones). Combined with the 3-way pickup selector, you can dial in a wide range of voices across jazz, blues, fusion, and rock applications.
Is this guitar suitable for metal or punk?
The AS113BS is optimized for jazz, blues, fusion, and rock genres. Its moderate-output pickups and warm, semi-hollow character are not designed for high-gain metal or punk applications.
What's the neck profile like, and will it suit my playing style?
The Artstar profile neck is responsive and balanced for extended playing without hand fatigue, making it comfortable for both chord work and intricate single-note lines. The 628mm scale, 43mm first-fret width, and 305mm fingerboard radius are standard semi-hollow proportions suited to intermediate, advanced, and professional players.
What's included with the guitar?
The AS113BS ships with a hardshell case and factory strings (.010-.052 gauge). The bone nut and fret edge treatment are factory-installed for long-term sustain and comfortable fretting feel.
