The Artcore 12-String Series AS7312 from Ibanez is a hollow-body electric guitar made from maple for the top, back, and sides with a transparent cherry red gloss finish. The body is fitted with a mahogany set-in neck which has a bound 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with acrylic block inlay. The hollow double-cutaway body delivers a warm, resonant sound that is well suited for playing jazz, funk, blues, and rock.
The AS7312 is equipped with a pair of Classic Elite humbucking neck and bridge pickups which offer a rich, nuanced tone with fat low end. A 3-way pickup selector switch and dedicated volume and tone controls for each pickup allow the player to fine-tune their desired sound. The guitar's sustain is enhanced by the ART-12 tune-o-matic style bridge and ART-12 tailpiece. This attractive instrument is highly regarded for its playability and tone, and is also reasonably priced, making it an ideal choice for intermediate and advanced players.
