Ibanez built the AF75GBKF as part of its AF Series Artcore hollow body electric line, positioning it as a mid-tier fully hollow instrument within a range long associated with jazz and semi-acoustic playing styles. The AF Artcore designation placed it in Ibanez's dedicated hollow and semi-hollow programme.
The body is constructed entirely from linden — top, back, and sides — and is paired with a set-in nyatoh neck carrying the AF Artcore profile. The bound walnut fretboard runs to 20 medium frets and is dressed with acrylic block inlays. The nut width measures 43mm, the fretboard radius 305mm, and the scale length 628mm (24.7"). Body dimensions on record are 15¾" wide, 19½" long, and 3⅝" at maximum depth, with a neck thickness of 21mm at the first fret and 24mm at the ninth. String spacing at the bridge is 10.5mm. Hardware throughout is finished in gold and includes a Gibraltar Performer bridge, a VT60 tailpiece, and a matched pair of passive ceramic Classic Elite humbucker pickups — one at the neck position, one at the bridge. The guitar left the factory strung to standard E-to-E tuning with a .010–.052 gauge set.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — bridge saddles, tailpiece studs, nut blanks, or pickup covers — should verify fit against the dimensions above; a qualified guitar technician can confirm compatibility and handle any setup or structural work the instrument may require.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
