Ibanez AS93FM-TMG

Ibanez AS93FM-TMG review

The Ibanez AS93FM-TMG is a semi-hollow electric guitar with a flamed maple body, two Super 58 humbuckers, and gold-colored hardware. Listed at 729, it has been available since February 2025. Its Transparent Moss Green finish puts the body's figured maple on display, while the neck construction and control layout give the instrument a familiar, practical setup for players looking for a semi-hollow design.

The supplied product details describe it as a semi-hollowbody guitar and also list its type as hollow body. Those descriptions do not establish that it is a fully hollow instrument. The more specific construction listing identifies it as semi-hollow, so that is the relevant category for this review.

Body, neck, and finish

The body is made from flamed maple, with a maple top. The three-piece set neck combines nyatoh and maple, and its high-gloss polyurethane finish gives the neck a smooth, polished surface. The fingerboard is Macassar ebony, with acrylic block inlays. Gold-colored hardware contrasts with the green finish and visible maple figuring.

The scale length is 628 mm, or 24.7 inches, and the nut width is 43 mm. The fingerboard has a 305 mm, or 12-inch, radius and carries 22 medium frets. Together, those measurements describe a compact scale and a relatively broad, gently curved playing surface. Individual preferences vary, so the listed dimensions are more useful than any claim that the neck will suit every hand or playing style.

One owner described the guitar as beautiful to look at and comfortable to handle, and singled out the color and grain as especially appealing. That feedback fits the visible design priorities in the specification: figured maple, a transparent green finish, block inlays, and gold-colored hardware. These are aesthetic details, but they matter on an instrument whose top is intended to show its wood pattern.

Pickups and controls

Two Super 58 humbuckers provide the guitar's pickup configuration. The controls comprise two volume knobs and two tone knobs, with a three-way pickup selector. This layout allows the player to adjust the pickup levels and tonal response separately, then switch among the selector's three positions. The specifications do not state the exact wiring behavior for each setting, so no more specific switching claims are warranted.

The owner feedback describes the sound and range of available sounds as matching the player's expectations. That is a positive report, though it reflects one player's experience rather than a measured comparison. Players considering the AS93FM-TMG should listen to the Super 58 pickups in their own preferred amplifier and playing context, especially if pickup output and tonal character are central to the buying decision.

Bridge, tailpiece, and setup

Ibanez equips the guitar with a Gibraltar Performer bridge and a Quick Change III tailpiece. It has no tremolo system. The hardware is finished in gold color, and the guitar uses Ibanez machine heads. The product listing does not include a case or gig bag, so buyers who need protection for transport should account for that separately.

Setup quality deserves a practical note. One buyer reported excellent workmanship and playability overall, but said a small adjustment to intonation was needed. The adjustment was described as minor. This is useful context for prospective owners: even a well-received guitar may benefit from a professional setup or a quick check after delivery. Intonation can be adjusted, and the review does not suggest a wider manufacturing problem.

Who should consider it?

The AS93FM-TMG makes sense for a player drawn to a semi-hollow guitar with a figured maple appearance, a set neck, and a pair of humbuckers. Its 24.7-inch scale, 22 frets, four individual volume and tone controls, and three-way selector provide a clearly specified foundation. The green finish and gold-colored hardware give it a distinctive look without changing the basic, familiar control scheme.

Owner feedback is notably enthusiastic about the appearance, handling, sustain, workmanship, and sound options. Those impressions should be treated as personal testimony, not guarantees. The most actionable caveat is the reported intonation adjustment, which was described as straightforward. Also factor in the absence of an included case or bag when weighing the listed price of 729.

Verdict

The Ibanez AS93FM-TMG is a well-specified semi-hollow guitar whose strongest documented appeal is the combination of flamed maple, Transparent Moss Green finish, and gold-colored hardware. Its construction and electronics are clearly laid out, and the owner report points to satisfying playability and sound options, with a minor setup adjustment as the only stated reservation. Buyers should confirm the setup for themselves and budget for a separate case if needed.
