The AWD83T is an Artcore series hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez for 2006. It was made in China and replaced the AWD82T.
The AWD guitars have an arched top, double-cutaway, semi-hollow body design with a modern shape vaguely reminiscent of a Fender Stratocaster or some of Ibanez's Roadstar II series models from the 1980s. It has an arched top and a flat back.
The AWD83T features an arched, laminated figured bubinga top with ƒ holes and ivory multi-binding on maple back and sides mated to a set-in mahogany and maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with ivory binding and Artcore DX acrylic and abalone split block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Artcore humbucking pickups with chrome covers mounted in ivory pickup rings, an ACT two-point knife-edge tremolo bridge, a plastic nut, speed knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines with half moon buttons.
The AWD83 is a similar model with a fixed bridge.
This AWD83T was discontinued after 2007.
