Help Ibanez Artcore AK100

I'm about to advertise my 2008 Ibanez Artcore AK100 but don't know what to call it! Is it a full-hollow-bodied archtop or a semi-hollow-bodied archtop? Some specs describe it as a full-bodied but it's half the depth of my Gibson ES165 but twice the depth of my Heritage ES535! Any thoughts? Thanks.

The AK is a full-hollow - it doesn't have a sound block. Full-bodied means full width, not full depth. I think the AKs are 70mm deep so I wouldn't call them a slimline or "thin" body..

Guitar Ibanez Artcore AK100

Many thanks Banksia. I had no idea that full-body referred to width and not depth (doh!). When I bought the AK100 I assumed it was the full monty, big bertha type so was disappointed that it was only 70mm deep. My wife wasn't happy when I returned to the shop to buy the Gibson ES165 as well...the shop was happy though!
