Ibanez AS93QMSP-DBS review: an inspection of the specifications

The Ibanez AS93QMSP-DBS is a semi-hollow electric guitar listed as available since March 2025. Its dark brown sunburst finish, quilted maple top, and matching back and sides give it a distinctive appearance, while the specification sheet points to a conventional dual-humbucker setup and a fixed bridge. The listed price is 845, though the supplied information does not identify a currency or region.

There is an important discrepancy in the published specifications: the instrument is listed with both 22 frets and 24 medium frets. The more detailed description specifies 24 medium frets, but the conflicting 22-fret entry means the count should be confirmed with the seller before purchase. The instrument is identified as semi-hollow, while another field calls it "hollow body." Those labels do not fully agree, so this review treats it as a semi-hollow guitar based on the dedicated semi-hollow listing.

Body, neck, and fingerboard

The top, back, and sides are described as quilted maple. The detailed finish color is Dark Brown Sunburst, consistent with the general brown color entry. The available data does not provide body dimensions, weight, or a description of the internal construction, so those details cannot be assessed from the specification sheet.

The set-in, three-piece neck combines nyatoh and maple. Its stated scale length is 628 mm, also given as 24.7 inches, and the nut width is 43 mm. The Macassar ebony fingerboard has a stated radius of 305 mm, or 12 inches, and Tree of Life inlays. The neck has a high-gloss urethane finish. These measurements offer a useful outline of the neck layout, but they do not establish how the neck will feel in hand. That depends on details such as the neck profile, which are not listed.

The fret count needs particular attention. One general specification says 22 frets, while the more detailed feature list says 24 medium frets. Since both entries come from the supplied product data, neither can be discarded with certainty. Confirming the actual count is especially sensible if access to the highest frets matters to your playing or if you are comparing this model with another instrument.

Pickups and controls

The guitar uses two Ibanez Super 80 humbucking pickups, positioned at the neck and bridge. Controls comprise two volume knobs and two tone knobs, with a three-way toggle switch for selecting pickup combinations. The layout provides separate volume and tone adjustment for each pickup, according to the listed control count. The supplied specifications do not state pickup output, magnet type, wiring options, or coil-splitting functions, so none should be assumed.

For players comparing pickup configurations, the practical point is straightforward: this is an HH instrument, meaning two humbuckers, rather than a single-coil setup. The available data identifies the pickup models but does not include measurements or independent listening impressions. Tonal judgments about warmth, brightness, sustain, or noise would therefore go beyond what the specifications support.

Bridge, hardware, and included accessories

Ibanez lists a Gibraltar Performer bridge and a Quik Change Classic tailpiece. The guitar has no tremolo system, which keeps the bridge arrangement fixed rather than providing a vibrato arm. Gold hardware and Ibanez machine heads complete the stated hardware package. The source does not provide tuning stability tests, setup details, or adjustment range, so those aspects require a hands-on inspection.

No case or gig bag is included according to the supplied entries. Buyers should account for that separately and check that any case they choose fits this model. The sales unit is one piece, and the item number is 607115.

What the specifications establish

The AS93QMSP-DBS is defined by its quilted maple construction, set-in nyatoh and maple neck, Macassar ebony fingerboard, and pair of Super 80 humbuckers. Its listed scale is 628 mm, and its control layout provides two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way selector. The fixed Gibraltar Performer bridge and Quik Change Classic tailpiece distinguish the hardware setup from a tremolo-equipped design.

This is a specification-based assessment, not a report of customer feedback or a playing test. No customer reviews were provided, and the available information does not support claims about comfort, sound quality, build consistency, or value relative to other guitars. The price is listed as 845 without a specified currency. Before ordering, verify the fret count, the seller's description of the body construction, the price currency, and whether the guitar is supplied without a protective case.
