Ibanez built the AS73GBKF as part of the AS Series Artcore line, positioning it as a hollow body electric guitar. It carried the Artcore designation and sat within a family of hollow and semi-hollow instruments that Ibanez produced under that banner.
The guitar was constructed with a Linden top, back, and sides, paired with a Nyatoh neck joined via a set-in joint — an arrangement typical of the AS Artcore configuration. The bound walnut fretboard carried acrylic block inlays across 22 medium frets, with a 305mm radius and a scale length of 628mm (24.7"). Nut width measured 43mm. The hardware complement included a Gibraltar Performer bridge with 10.5mm string spacing, a Quik Change III tailpiece, and Classic Elite humbucker pickups at both neck and bridge positions — each passive, ceramic-magnet units. All hardware was finished in gold. The instrument left the factory strung with a .010–.052 gauge set in standard E-to-E tuning.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change III tailpiece have their own mounting footprints; a guitar technician or qualified luthier can confirm compatible replacements and verify correct setup for the 305mm fretboard radius and 10.5mm string spacing.
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.
