Ibanez built the AS73FMTIF as part of its AS Series Artcore line, positioning it as a hollow-body electric guitar finished in Transparent Indigo Fade. The model carried a set-in neck profile designated AS Artcore, constructed from Nyatoh, and sat within a range designed to bring the hollow-body format to a broad spectrum of players.
The body featured a Flamed Maple top over Linden back and sides. The bound Walnut fretboard carried acrylic block inlays across 22 medium frets on a 628 mm (24.7") scale, with a 305 mm radius and a nut width of 43 mm. Hardware was finished in chrome throughout, anchored by a Gibraltar Performer bridge set at 10.5 mm string spacing and a Quik Change III tailpiece. Pickup duties fell to a pair of passive, ceramic-magnet Classic Elite humbucker pickups — one at the neck, one at the bridge. The guitar left the factory strung in standard E-to-E tuning with a .010–.052 gauge set.
Owners requiring setup work, fret service, or guidance on locating compatible replacement parts — including bridge saddles dimensioned for the 10.5 mm string spacing or pickups sized for standard humbucker routes — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier.
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.
