Ibanez built the AM53SRF as part of the AM Series Artcore line, positioning it as a hollow body electric guitar. The AM Series carried Ibanez's Artcore platform, a range aimed at players seeking hollow and semi-hollow construction at an accessible point in the catalogue.
The AM53SRF was constructed with a Sapele top, back, and sides, paired with an AM Artcore Nyatoh set-in neck. The bound Walnut fretboard featured white dot inlays and carried 22 medium frets across a 628mm (24.7") scale length, with a 305mm radius. Nut width measured 43mm. Body length ran 17 5/8", with a maximum depth of 2 5/8". Pickups consisted of a pair of passive ceramic Infinity R humbuckers — one at the neck, one at the bridge — routed to chrome hardware throughout. The Gibraltar Performer bridge set string spacing at 10.5mm, and the Quik Change III tailpiece handled string anchoring. The guitar left the factory strung to standard tuning with a .010–.052 gauge set.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece are Ibanez-specific components; a qualified guitar technician or luthier familiar with Ibanez Artcore hardware will be best placed to advise on compatible replacements and setup adjustments.
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.
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.
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.
