What people mention

TonePraisedOwners describe a warm, woody hollow-body voice that suits jazz and blues.
FinishPraisedThe flamed maple top and sunburst finish get frequent compliments.

Questions and answers

Is the AF95FM good for jazz?: Yes. Its full hollow maple body and warm pickups suit jazz cleans and blues. It is less suited to high-gain rock because of feedback.
How does it compare with the Ibanez AF75?: Both are full-size Artcore hollow bodies. The AF95FM adds a flamed maple top and Expressionist pickups, which buyers see as a step up in looks and tone.
Does it come with a case?: No. It ships as the guitar alone, so budget for a case or gig bag sized for a full-size archtop.
Is $599.99 a good price?: That is the best new price among 7 stores as of November 7, 2026. It sits in the normal range for this model, so it is a fair buy rather than a deep discount.
Is the body too big for a beginner?: It is a full-size archtop, so it feels large next to a solid-body guitar. Smaller players may prefer a thinner semi-hollow.
Where is the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AF95FM Electric Guitar cheapest?: At Adorama, for $599.99, 22% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AF95FM Electric Guitar?: Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 38 ratings.
Where can I buy the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AF95FM Electric Guitar?: 13 stores we checked sell it, including Best Buy, Sweetwater, Adorama, musicstore.com, Music Villa.
