"One sweet picker!"

Feature:
Comes with a nice hardshell case .I like the strings that came with this wonderful guitar but will probably put some Ernie Ball heavy/skinny strings that seem to work well for most of my guitars and the style i play which is country/blues.

Quality:
Mine came perfectly set up and i have absolutely no complaints at all with quality control or craftsmanship.Excellent work and attention to details.

Value:
Couldn't find a better guitar even at two or three times the price.I can't imagine anyone not being totally satisfied.

Desirability:
This beautiful guitar is very desirable and i would be proud to take her to meet my folks:)

Sound:
Sweet mellow tones,but perfectly capable of hard driving Rock sounds.Very versatile axe and worth twice the sale price in my opinion.

Ease of Use:
Fast low action and slick smooth fingerboard makes this axe a real treat to play!

Support:
No need so far so i will pass on a rating.I am sure though the folks at Ibanez must be supportive to their customers since they apparently take guitar building very serious.

Overall:
If this one was lost or stolen,i would beat it as fast as my feets would take me to find and buy another.

Style of Music: Country mainly but do like oldies rock and blues,Jazz styles too.

"The poor mans ES 335"

Feature:
I will only deduct 1 point in this area.I could have given a 10 if it had come with a set of Gotoh 510 tuners.Fit and finish are perfect and the frets are finished as good as any that I have ever seen.

Quality:
As I said before absolutely perfect fit and finish

Value:
I can honestly say that I would have paid twice the sale price and still would have considered it a bargain

Desirability:
I guess all guitar players consider beautiful guitars sexy and this baby is extremely beautiful.

Sound:
I love the sound of the custom 58 pups..very versitile from warm and mellow jazz to screaming rock and anything in between.

Support:
Have had no need yet,so cannot comment.

Overall:
If lost or stolen I would most certainly run not walk to buy another one

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
The Ibanez Artcore Custom AS103 is a semi-acoustic electric guitar that features an all-flame Maple body, 2 Ibanez Custom 58 humbucking pickups, and the new fine-tuner equipped Quik Change Ultra tailpiece, which offers easier string changes. Ibanez stunned the music industry when the first Artcores were unveiled and the appearance of the Artcore Customs in 2005 seems to have had the same effect. No one would have blinked an eye if Ibanez had placed a price tag of over 2 grand on these beautiful boxes. But the Artcore Customs are less than half that. Now with a semi-acoustic model for players who want more sustain and feedback resistance to play at higher volumes, Ibanez presents a fully comprehensive series. Artcore Custom received 2 nominations by music industry retailers for the 2006 Music and Sound Awards, Electric Guitar of the Year and Product of Year.
