Ibanez positioned the AM53TF within the AM Series as a hollow body electric guitar. The AM Series carried the Artcore designation, placing this model within Ibanez's Artcore line of hollow and semi-hollow instruments.
The AM53TF was built with a Sapele top, back, and sides, and carried a set-in neck of Nyatoh construction identified as the AM Artcore profile. The bound Walnut fretboard featured white dot inlays across 22 medium frets at a 305mm radius, with a nut width of 43mm and a scale length of 628mm (24.7"). Body dimensions include a length of 17 5/8", a lower bout width of 14 1/2", a maximum depth of 2 5/8", and neck thickness of 21mm at the first fret tapering to 24mm at the ninth. Electronics consisted of two passive ceramic Infinity R humbuckers routed through chrome hardware. The Gibraltar Performer bridge with 10.5mm string spacing paired with a Quik Change III tailpiece. The guitar left the factory strung with .010–.052 gauge strings in standard tuning.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — bridge saddles, tailpiece studs, nut blanks, or pickup covers — should cross-reference the Gibraltar Performer and Quik Change III specifications; a qualified luthier or guitar technician can confirm fit against the original hardware dimensions before installation.
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.
