"I think they mismarked the price tag on this!"

Feature:
I like the Bigsby Trem. However, if you crank on it too hard, you'll be tuning the guitar again. The floating bridge is another bit of versatility this guitar give you. Take it out of the box, spend some time tinkering with your own personal preferences - and you'll be happy.

Quality:
This does NOT look, feel, or play like a $370 dollar guitar. Mine was perfect right out of the box. No blemishes, no loose parts, no problems. Unless it somehow develops an electrical problem, I don't expect any problems from this gutar at all. It's very well made, substantial, and beautiful.

Value:
This is a lot more guitar than anyone would expect for the price. I would expect it to cost more, and I would pay more for it.

Desirability:
On a scale of 1 - 10, I give it an 11. This is a thing of beauty. When I'm not playing it, I just look at it. High quality, flawless, beautiful to look at, and sounds as good as it looks.

Sound:
I love the sound - you can make it sound just about any way you want it to sound. I think it's more versatile than a solid body. Some of the deep, full sounds this gives you aren't attainalbe with a solid body. Yet, you can get this guitar to do about anything you can do with a solid body.

Support:
Not Applicable - I have not had any problems.

Overall:
As I don't have a couple thousand dollars to pay for a Gretsch, I think I'll have this one for a long long time. Even if I did get my Gretsch some day, I would still keep this one. Before I bought this, I have a Guild 12 string, and a Washburn Solid Body electric. But, I always wanted a hollow body - Like a Gretsch. This Ibanez caught my eye, and the more I learned about it, the more I liked it. I tried it out, and I'm hooked. If I lost it, I would get another one - exactly the same.

"Damn Fine Piece of Axeage"

Feature:
Great blue finish, seems shinier and brighter in person. Vintage vibrato tailpiece is a nice finishing touch. The plastic control knobs may seem bulky a bit but you get used to it in 5 seconds. Great covered humbuckers too.

Quality:
Best quality you'd find in a gibson or gretsch. Many people wouldn't expect such great vintage sound for a low priced japanese guitar. Go figure.

Value:
Insanely low priced for it's value. You might try local guitar shops for a lower price and to test it out before ordering online.

Desirability:
The finish kills any skepticisms you might have on this hot roddin' axe. Buy this and I guarrantee you will be blasting out those old tones from Eddie Cochran all the way to the Stray Cats. And I guess it's good for you jazzy and blues types too.

Sound:
Beautiful sound, even rivals the likes of a Gretsch Nashville. Crank up the reverb, strangle those strings, and you're in rockabilly heaven. You could go right up to the amp and not hear as much as a low squeal, they've outdone themselves structurally.

Support:
Never talked to em, but I imagine they are helpful.

Overall:
BUY THIS GUITAR!!!! You won't find a better priced archtop at this rate. GO NOW!!!!

About This Product!
Description
Docs
If you thought the only good full or semi-hollow guitars were expensive (and the inexpensive ones weren't any good), think again. Ibanez Artcore guitars represent thinking that's way outside the box. No matter what kind of music you play - punk, alt rock, nu rock, whatever - if you're serious about adding rich tones to the mix, it's time to stop just thinking about it. With Ibanez Artcore, you can now afford to go full or semi-hollow. You can't afford not to!
