Warm, Balanced and Versatile Tone

'Infinity R' Ceramic HumbuckersIbanez designed the AS53’s humbuckers in house and they fully deliver on the tone front, featuring a warm, balanced and versatile tone. Combined with the AS53’s semi-hollow body, they really bring out the best of the sapele body.
Whilst capable of fantastic tones, the humbuckers work excellently in eliminating unwanted noise, hum and feedback which can often plague semi-hollow guitars.
