The AFS85T is a hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2008. It was made in China as part of the Artcore series.

The AFS85T features a thinner, full-hollow body design with a laminated cordia top with ƒ holes and cream multi-binding on cordia back and sides with a single rounded Venetian cutaway mated to a set-in mahogany and maple neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with cream binding and special abalone position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Artcore humbucking pickups with cosmo black covers and individual volume and tone controls, an ART-2 roller style bridge on a wooden base with a vibrato tailpiece, a plastic nut, a cocobolo pickguard, speed knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines.

The AFS95T is a similar model with a flamed sycamore body. The AFS75T is a related model with a maple body and one-piece neck.

This AFS85T was discontinued after 2008.
