The Ibanez AG95MG-DA is a hollow body guitar from the Artcore Expressionist series that combines the warm, resonant sound of a fully hollow body with a compact, comfortable design. Its top, back, and sides are made from mango wood, providing a balanced, well-defined response along with an attractive natural grain. The Super 58 pickups deliver a vintage, dynamic, and articulate character, ideal for jazz, blues, soul, and styles that require a clean sound with harmonic richness.

Our Opinion

The AG95MG is an especially appealing choice for players seeking the resonant character of a traditional hollow body, but find full-size jazz bodies too bulky. Its AG format is more manageable without sacrificing a deep, fully hollow chambered body.

We would primarily recommend it for jazz, blues, soul, and clean or slightly overdriven sounds. The Super 58 pickups respond with warmth and good definition, while the mango wood provides a distinctive aesthetic compared to typical maple guitars, making it a unique option both sonically and visually.
