Ibanez AF115-AWB

Ibanez AF115-AWB review

The Ibanez AF115-AWB is a semi-hollow electric guitar with a 628 mm scale, a set-in neck, and two Super 58 humbuckers. Its listed features point to a guitar built around traditional hollow-body styling, while the product data identifies it specifically as semi-hollow rather than fully hollow. That distinction matters: the available specifications do not describe a fully hollow body, and there is no basis here for assuming the construction or acoustic behavior of one.

The listed price is 866, with no currency specified in the supplied data. The model has been available since January 2026, and its item number is 633219. The package includes a case, while a separate bag is not included. Those details establish the basic purchase context without offering information about the case's design or protective features.

Body, top, and finish

The body is described as flamed maple, with a spruce top. The combination gives the instrument a distinct mix of named tonewoods, but the specifications alone cannot establish how it sounds or how the body is braced internally. No dimensions, body depth, center-block details, or weight are listed, so those points should be checked with a dealer if they affect a buying decision.

The finish name is Aged Whiskey Burst, and the hardware has a gold finish. There is a discrepancy in the supplied color fields: one lists the color as red, while the detailed specification names Aged Whiskey Burst. The latter appears to be the more specific finish description, but the conflicting listing should be confirmed before ordering. The available information does not identify whether the burst varies across individual instruments.

Neck and playing dimensions

The set-in neck combines nyatoh and maple. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard has a 305 mm, or 12-inch, radius and 20 medium frets. The scale length is 628 mm, equivalent to 24.72 inches, and the nut measures 43 mm, or 1.69 inches, across. A bone nut is specified.

These measurements give a clear outline of the neck geometry, but they do not describe the neck profile, fret size beyond the medium designation, or factory setup. Players comparing it with another guitar should pay particular attention to the 24.72-inch scale and 12-inch fingerboard radius. The data does not specify action, string height, or whether the instrument ships with any particular relief adjustment.

Pickups and controls

Two Super 58 humbuckers are fitted, one at the neck and one at the bridge. The control layout comprises two volume knobs and two tone knobs, alongside a three-way toggle switch. This provides separate volume and tone controls for the two pickups, according to the listed layout. The specifications do not detail the wiring, pickup output, magnet type, or switching behavior beyond the three-way selector, so claims about particular tones or coil options would be unsupported.

The guitar is listed with D'Addario ECG24 flatwound strings. That is a concrete part of the supplied setup, though the data does not confirm whether the strings are installed at the factory or included separately. Flatwounds can be a meaningful consideration for players choosing strings, but the listed gauge, setup response, and suitability for a particular style are not provided.

Bridge, hardware, and buying checks

A rosewood bridge and Ibanez machine heads are specified. There is no tremolo system. Taken together, these details suggest a fixed-bridge configuration, although the supplied data does not explain the bridge's adjustment range or saddle design. The gold hardware finish completes the stated hardware specification without identifying the plating or material.

• Construction: Semi-hollow body, flamed maple body, spruce top, and set-in nyatoh and maple neck.
• Fingerboard and scale: Macassar ebony, 12-inch radius, 20 medium frets, and 24.72-inch scale.

On paper, the AF115-AWB is a semi-hollow Ibanez with a defined set of classic-style construction details and a straightforward two-humbucker control scheme. The specifications provide useful measurements and component names, but they do not establish playability, build consistency, acoustic volume, or tonal character. There are no customer reviews available for this product, so this assessment is limited to the published information. Before purchase, confirm the finish color discrepancy and ask for details on setup, body construction, and the included case if those factors are important.
