AGS73BT Transparent Black Flat Red copyright sprite

The AGS73BT is an Artcore series hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2008. It was produced in China.

The AGS73BT features a slim, mid-sized, semi-hollow body design with an arched laminated maple top with ƒ holes and black multi-binding on maple back and sides with a single Venetian cutaway mated to a set-in mahogany neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with special pearloid bar position markers. The neck joint is at the 17th fret; combined with the deep cutaway this offers great upper fret access. Components include a pair of Ibanez Artcore humbucking pickups with cosmo black covers and individual volume and tone controls, a Tune-o-matic style roller bridge with a vintage vibrato tailpiece, a plastic nut, black pickup rings, speed knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines.

The AGS73BT mates the single-cutaway body of the AG75 to the semi-hollow construction of the AS73. The AGS73B is a related model without the vibrato tailpiece.

The AGS73BT was discontinued after 2008.
