The AS83L is a left-handed Artcore series hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in mid 2004. It was made in China.

The AS83L features a full-sized, double-cutaway, semi-hollow body design with a laminated flamed maple (or flamed sycamore) top with ƒ holes and ivory multi-binding on flamed maple (or flamed sycamore) back and sides mated to a set-in mahogany and maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and abalone block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Artcore humbucking pickups with chrome covers and individual volume and tone controls, ivory plastic pickup rings and nut, a Tune-o-matic style bridge with a Quik Change tailpiece, speed knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines with half-moon buttons.

The AS83 is a right-handed version.

The AS83L was discontinued after 2006.
