The AS153B is an Artstar series hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2016. It was made in China.
The AS153B features a semi-hollow, double cutaway body design with a maple top with ƒ holes and cream multi-binding on maple back and sides mated to a set-in mahogany and maple neck with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with cream binding and pearl/acrylic and abalone split block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups with gold covers and individual volume and tone controls and a Tri-sound switch for the neck, a Tune-o-matic style bridge and tailpiece, a bone nut, a pickguard with a maple veneer on bakelite painted to match the top, Sure Grip III knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines.
The AS153 is a similar model with a flamed maple body. The AM153 is a related model with a slightly smaller body and a figured bubinga top.
