"Your search is over!"

Feature:
Should have had a case, or at least a gig bag. No pickguard, but it's better that way.

Quality:
Unbelieveable quality. The epiphones I was looking at were sloppy and coarse feeling. THis thign is smooth as butter. This thing will last forever.

Value:
So amazing. I paid less than half the usual price, since mine was used, but it was only a week old at the time. I would have baid three times the price if that's what it took to have this baby in my hands.

Desirability:
It's gorgeous, in looks and sound. Don't let this one pass you by. I knew the minute I saw it that it was perfect for me. It's an incredibly hard choice between this or my SG, luckily they have different sounds.

Sound:
This thing does it all. I'm coming to this from my SG Standard, and it's a whole new world, yet strangely familiar. The pickups are a lot more mellow, but that's what I wanted. Great for ska/rockabilly/punk.

Ease of Use:
So easy. The 4-knod Gibson setup. Instantly comfortable. You'll get used to the fretbaord within minutes.

Support:
Never needed it, never will.

Overall:
This thing is perfect. Just amazing all over. If it came with a case, it would be even better, but at this price, who cares? Stop right where you are and buy this guitar. Your search is over.

"Wonderful guitar!"

Feature:
Love the maple, set neck, and the knobs. Just needed new tuners.

Quality:
I'd say perfect. Very pretty finish, when lights hit it at some angles, its just one of the nicest things to look at. Seems like it will last me a very long time.

Value:
Great deal for a guitar of this quality.

Desirability:
Hmm. Sex appeal. Definately one of the nicest looking guitars I have ever bought.

Sound:
Even for stock pickups, these were some of the smoothest I've heard at a price like this. From soft to clean, then turn on the distortion, and it still sounds great.

Ease of Use:
Since I think that this is playable for many kinds of styles of music, I'd say it is extremely easy to get great sounds from it. Great guitar.

Support:
No support yet

Overall:
Not much else to say. Great guitar.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
When Artcore guitars debuted in summer 2002, they turned the music industry upside down. No longer were full and semi-acoustic guitars just big expensive jazz boxes for jazz players -- even some of Ibanez' competitors bought them (no, we're not making this up). With Artcore guitars you get an amazingly affordable price plus the quality and tone you expect from Ibanez, the guitar company with over 4 decades of experience making full and semi-acoustic guitars.

Features:
Artcore set-in neck

Mahogany neck material provides rich warm lows and sweet sustain

Maple top/sides/back body

22 large frets

Bound Rosewood finger board

ART1 bridge

ACH1 (H) neck PU

ACH2 (H) bridge PU

Pearl dot inlay

Chrome Hardware

Huge assortment of styles, from big and small bodied full hollows to small bodied semi-acoustics, including the classic Ibanez Talman shape

Original design Vintage Vibrato with roller saddle bridge. All the great vibe of the classic trems -- with none of their traditional tuning glitches

Medium output Artcore pickups accurately reproduce the cool, complex tones of a hollow AND work well with effects

The great upper fret access and sustain of a set-in neck at the price of a bolt-on
