The AS253BM is an Artstar series hollow body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2015. It is made in China.

The AS253BM features a semi-hollow, double cutaway body design with a burl maple top with ƒ holes and cream multi-binding on burl maple back and sides mated to a set-in mahogany and maple neck with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with cream binding and acrylic and abalone split block position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Super 58 humbucking pickups with gold covers and individual volume and tone controls and a Tri-sound switch for the neck, a Tune-o-matic style bridge and tailpiece, a bone nut, a rosewood pickguard, rosewood knobs, and Ibanez tuning machines.

The AS153 is a related model with a flamed maple body and other minor differences. The AF255BM is a related full-hollow body model.

The AS253BM was discontinued after 2016.
