The AG85 is an Artcore Deluxe series hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in late 2003. It was made in China.

The AG85 features a mid-sized, full-hollow body design with a laminated figured bubinga top with ƒ holes and cream multi-binding on figured bubinga back and sides with a single Venetian cutaway mated to a set-in mahogany and maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with cream binding and abalone block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Artcore humbucking pickups with chrome covers and individual volume and tone controls, a Tune-o-matic style bridge on a wooden base, a VT50 chrome tailpiece, ivory plastic nut and pickup rings, a matching figured bubinga pickguard, speed knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines.

The AG86N is a similar model with a spruce body. The AG75 is a related model with a maple body and one-piece neck.

This AG85 was discontinued after 2005. The similar AG86 was introduced the following year.
