The AF95 is an Artcore series hollow body electric guitar model reintroduced by Ibanez for 2021. It is produced in Indonesia as part of the Artcore Expressionist series.

The AF95 features a full-hollow body design with a laminated flamed spruce top with ƒ holes and ivory multi-binding on linden back and sides with a single Venetian cutaway mated to a set-in nyatoh and maple neck with a 20-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard with ivory binding and acrylic block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups with gold covers and individual volume and tone controls, a walnut bridge on a wooden base, a tailpiece with decorative wooden cover, a plastic nut, a red tortoise pickguard, Sure Grip III knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines.

The AF95FM is a similar model with a flamed maple body.

A new Divine Amber finish was introduced for 2023; this finish was renamed Dark Amber for 2024.
