AFC155 Jet Blue Burst Red copyright sprite

The AFC155 is a hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2017. It is part of the Contemporary Archtop series. It was initially made in China, but production moved to Indonesia for 2019.

The AFC155 features a thick, single cutaway, full-hollow body design with a laminated spruce top with ƒ holes and flamed maple binding and flamed maple back and sides mated to a set-in mahogany and maple neck with a 20-fret ebony fingerboard with black binding and mother of pearl offset block position markers. Components include dual, floating Ibanez Magic Touch-Mini humbucking pickups with gold covers and individual volume and tone controls, a floating ebony bridge with compensated ebony saddle and a trapeze tailpiece with a wooden cover, a plastic nut, a black pickguard, rosewood bell knobs and Ibanez tuning machines with black buttons.

For 2019 the mahogany and maple neck was changed to nyatoh and maple.

The AFC151 is a similar model with a single pickup. The AFC125 and AFC95 are similar models with different materials used for the back and sides.

The AFC155 was discontinued after 2019.
