Sound & Tone
The linden semi-hollow body gives this Artcore a woody, resonant midrange with the airiness of a hollowbody but enough feedback control for louder stages, while the Super 58 humbuckers with Alnico magnets keep notes warm and articulate whether you're comping quiet jazz chords or digging into sustaining leads. The tri-sound switch shifts between series, parallel, and single-coil wiring, moving the voice from thick and rounded to brighter, more scooped territory for cleaner rhythm work. With its 628mm scale, ebony fretboard, and bound 22-fret neck, it lands comfortably in jazz, blues, soul, and roots rock, and handles vintage-leaning rock and R&B rhythm playing without losing note definition.
Ibanez AMH90CRF Cherry Red Flat Artcore Semi-Hollowbody Guitar — B-Stock
The AMH90CRF is engineered to capture warm, articulate tones in the studio while maintaining the playability and stability needed for overdub sessions. Its semi-hollowbody design and set-in 3-piece neck deliver balanced response with minimal handling noise—critical for clean recording takes. This B-stock example is unplayed and in excellent condition with only minor cosmetic blemishes on the fretboard—offering exceptional value for a guitar built to exacting Ibanez standards. The Cherry Red Flat finish, bound ebony fretboard, and gold hardware create an instrument that performs as well as it looks.
Neck & Fretboard for Studio Work
The AM Expressionist neck combines a 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple construction for stability with a bound Macassar ebony fretboard that responds with precision under your fingers. With a 628mm scale, 43mm nut width, and 22 medium frets, the neck geometry suits both jazz voicings and lead work across the full range, while the 305mm radius provides comfortable fretting and bending. The semi-hollowbody construction—linden top, back, and sides with a maximum depth of 2 5/8"—balances acoustic resonance with feedback control, making it ideal for layering parts without fighting phase issues in the mix.
Recording & Tone Shaping
Dual Super 58 (H) humbucker pickups with passive Alnico magnets deliver warm, articulate tones capable of both clear jazz articulation and full-bodied sustain. The tri-sound switch provides three distinct voicings—series, parallel, and single-coil modes—expanding your palette from bright and cutting to rich and warm without changing guitars. The Gibraltar Performer bridge and VT06 tailpiece ensure stable intonation and consistent performance across extended playing sessions, critical for maintaining tone integrity across multiple takes and overdubs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-stock open box mean for this guitar?
This unit was unboxed, inspected, and set up by our technicians but is otherwise new and unplayed. It ships in original packaging with all factory accessories and has only minor cosmetic blemishes on the fretboard. It is covered by a 30-day money-back return policy.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz and blues?
Yes. The warm, articulate dual Super 58 pickups, balanced semi-hollowbody construction, and tri-sound switch make it ideal for jazz and blues voicings. The 43mm nut width and 628mm scale support both traditional jazz chord work and melodic lead playing across the full range.
What is the tri-sound switch and how does it change the tone?
The tri-sound switch offers three voicing modes: series (rich and warm), parallel (balanced), and single-coil (bright and cutting). This lets you shape your tone from full-bodied sustain to articulate snap without changing guitars or pickups.
Will this guitar feedback on stage or in a live setting?
The semi-hollowbody construction—linden top, back, and sides with a maximum depth of 2 5/8 inches—balances acoustic resonance with feedback control, making it reliable for gigging and live performance. The Gibraltar Performer bridge and VT06 tailpiece provide stable intonation during extended playing sessions.

The 3-piece AM Expressionist neck uses Nyatoh and Maple for stability, with a bound Macassar ebony fretboard. At 628mm scale, 43mm nut width, and 22 medium frets, it suits both jazz voicings and lead work. The 305mm radius and 21-24mm neck thickness provide comfortable fretting and bending.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $36 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states.
