Ibanez AMH90CRF Cherry Red Flat Artcore Guitar B-Stock
Description
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 mean, and how does it affect the guitar?
B-Stock means this guitar is unplayed and fully functional with only minor cosmetic imperfections on the fretboard finish. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. You receive full manufacturer warranty coverage and a professional-grade instrument at a significant discount.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz and blues, or can it handle other styles?
The AMH90CRF is purpose-built for jazz, blues, and studio sessions with warm, articulate dual Super 58 pickups and feedback-controlled semi-hollowbody construction. Its tri-sound switch (series, parallel, single-coil modes) makes it versatile across voicings, though it is not designed for metal or drop-tuning styles.
What pickup options and voicing controls does it have?
It features dual passive Alnico Super 58 (H) humbucker pickups with a tri-sound switch offering three distinct voicings: series (warm, full-bodied), parallel (bright, articulate), and single-coil (cutting, clear). This lets you switch tones without changing guitars.
How does the neck feel, and what are the key dimensions?
The AM Expressionist set-in neck uses 3-piece Nyatoh/Maple construction for stability and features a bound Macassar ebony fretboard with a 43mm nut width and 305mm radius. At 628mm scale with 22 medium frets, it suits both jazz voicings and lead work across the full range with comfortable fretting and bending.
How does it compare to the Fender Coronado or Gibson ES-335?
Like those semi-hollowbodies, the AMH90CRF balances acoustic resonance with feedback control, but its linden body construction, set-in neck, and tri-sound switching provide a different tonal character and greater voicing versatility. It sits between budget and high-end semi-hollow options with professional Artcore build quality.
