Ibanez AM93QA-JBB: the specifications

The Ibanez AM93QA-JBB is a semi-hollow electric guitar with an ash body, a set-in neck, and two humbucking pickups. Its listed color is Jet Blue Burst, with a high-gloss polyurethane finish and gold-colored hardware. The listed price is 659, though the supplied information does not specify a currency. The model has been available since January 2026.

There is a discrepancy in the supplied fingerboard specifications. The general specification list names Macassar, while the detailed description names rosewood. Those are different materials, and the available information does not establish which one is fitted to this particular instrument. Buyers should confirm the fingerboard material with the retailer before ordering.

Body, neck, and dimensions

The body is described as ash, and the instrument is identified as semi-hollow rather than fully hollow. No construction details about the internal center block or chamber layout are provided, so those cannot be confirmed from the specifications. The finish is listed as Jet Blue Burst in a high-gloss polyurethane coating.

The set-in neck combines nyatoh and maple. The scale length is 628 mm, or 24.72 inches, and the nut width is 43 mm, or 1.69 inches. The fingerboard radius is listed as 305 mm, equivalent to 12 inches. There are 22 medium frets. The supplied details do not state the neck profile, fret material, or fingerboard edge treatment.

A 24.72-inch scale is shorter than the 25.5-inch scale common on many electric guitars. Scale length affects string tension for a given tuning and string gauge, but it does not determine the feel on its own. The supplied string set is D'Addario EXL140. Because the product information does not identify the tuning or setup used with that set, it is best treated as the specified string model rather than a guarantee of a particular playing feel.

Pickups and controls

The AM93QA-JBB carries two Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers, one at the neck and one at the bridge. The control layout includes separate volume and tone controls for the two pickups, plus a three-way toggle switch. That arrangement provides independent level and tone adjustment for each pickup, with the toggle selecting between the neck pickup, bridge pickup, or both. The listed specifications do not include pickup output measurements, coil-splitting options, or switching modes beyond those three positions.

The humbucker format and semi-hollow construction identify the guitar's basic design, but they do not establish how it will sound through a particular amplifier or at a particular volume. No customer reviews or listening tests are available for this product, so claims about its tone, feedback behavior, sustain, or playing comfort would go beyond the information provided.

Bridge, tuning hardware, and included items

The bridge is an Ibanez Gibraltar Performer, and the tuning machines are listed as Ibanez units. The guitar has no tremolo. Gold-colored hardware completes the stated specification, although the individual hardware pieces are not itemized. The nut is plastic.

No case or gig bag is included according to the supplied details. The listed sales unit is one piece. The item number is 633176. These practical details matter when comparing the purchase price with other listings, particularly if a protective case will need to be bought separately.

What the specification sheet establishes

The available information describes a set-in-neck, semi-hollow guitar with an ash body, a short 24.72-inch scale, two Super 58 humbuckers, and a fixed Gibraltar Performer bridge. It also gives concrete dimensions, control layout, finish, strings, and included-item details. Those points are enough to assess the model's configuration, but not to judge its sound, build quality, setup, or value in use.

The fingerboard conflict is the main specification issue to resolve before purchase. Confirm whether the instrument has a Macassar or rosewood fingerboard, and verify the listed price and local availability with the seller. With no customer feedback supplied, this review is limited to the published technical data and does not present user impressions as fact.

What convinced me

  • Semi-hollow design with two Super 58 humbuckers
  • Set-in maple and nyatoh neck with a 628 mm scale
  • Gibraltar Performer bridge and gold hardware

What bugged me

  • No case or gig bag is included

Is it the right one for you?

Good pick if

A good candidate for players seeking a semi-hollow guitar with two humbuckers and a fixed bridge. Also worth considering for buyers who want separate volume and tone controls for each pickup.

Look elsewhere if

Not a fit for buyers who require a case or gig bag in the purchase. Confirm the fingerboard material first if you need a specific wood.

The AM93QA-JBB is a semi-hollow electric guitar with two Super 58 humbuckers, a three-way selector, and separate volume and tone controls for each pickup. Its 628 mm scale, 22 medium frets, and fixed Gibraltar Performer bridge give buyers clear specifications to consider. The listed price is $659, and neither a case nor a gig bag is included.
