Detail 01
Hardshell construction
Rigid shell resists crushing and impact, which matters most on a hollowbody with a thin arched top.

IbanezAF100C Artcore Hardshell Case for AF Series Guitars
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Black hardshell case built to the shape of Ibanez AF series Artcore hollowbody guitars. Buy it if you own an AF and travel with it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging with an AF series hollowbody in a car or van
- Long-term storage where a gig bag won't protect the top
- Checking or shipping a hollowbody that needs rigid protection
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Solidbody or non-AF guitars — the interior is shaped for AF bodies
- Players who walk or bike to gigs and want light weight
- Anyone who just needs dust cover; a gig bag costs far less
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Shaped for AF series
The interior is contoured to the AF body outline, so the guitar doesn't shift in transit.
Detail 03
Black exterior
Shows dust and scuffs less than lighter cases, but absorbs heat if left in sun or a hot car.
Detail 04
Case rather than gig bag
Heavier and bulkier to carry, in exchange for real protection against drops and stacked gear.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your model is AF series — other Ibanez hollowbodies have different body outlines
- 02Measure your guitar's body width and depth against the case before ordering
- 03A case slows temperature change but doesn't stop it; avoid leaving it in a car
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Artcore AS or AG model?
It's built for AF series bodies. Other Artcore shapes differ in outline and depth, so check measurements first.
02Is a hardshell case worth it over a gig bag?
For a hollowbody, yes. The thin arched top is the part a soft bag can't protect from impact.
03Can I check this on a flight?
It's rigid enough to be worth trying, but no case guarantees survival in cargo. Carry on when the airline allows.
04Does it lock?
Treat it as protection from impact, not theft. Don't leave a guitar unattended in any case.
