The AS103L is a left-handed Artcore Custom series hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in mid-2009. It was made in China.

The AS103L features a full-sized, double-cutaway, semi-hollow body design with a laminated flamed maple top with ƒ holes and ivory multi-binding on flamed maple back and sides mated to a set-in maple and walnut neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and abalone custom block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 Custom humbucking pickups with gold covers and individual volume and tone controls, a Tune-o-matic style bridge with a Quik Change tailpiece, a plastic nut, a flamed maple pickguard finished to match the body, rosewood knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines with white buttons.

The AS103 is a right-handed version.

This AS103L was discontinued after 2011.
