"If you KNOW guitars, you will be favorably impressed with this one."

Feature:
I have the Antique Burst finish model. Contrary to other reviews, it is a quality finish, with REAL wood. You need to wait and pick one with a nice finish. The assertion that this is somehow "faux wood" (what does that mean, anyway?) is ridiculous.

Quality:
Very well built - good fit and FINISH. Built like a tank.

Value:
An excellent value for the money - highly recommended.

Desirability:
It's a sharp-looking axe.

Sound:
Got a great sound - I have heavy gauge strings on it and it wails. The addition of a SD Hot Rodded Humbucker set really finishes it off nice.

Ease of Use:
Nice playing guitar - the frets, however, are quite high and if you use too much pressure on the strings, they will go sharp on you. That's why I use heavy gauge stings for this one.

Support:
never needed to contact them.

Overall:
I will never get rid of it. I would buy an identical replacement for it if I had to.

"Absolutely the best bang for your buck."

Feature:
The upper strap connection could have been located higher.The finish is excellent...I saw somebody else whine that it wasn't real wood.WTF? I'm a woodworker...it's 100% real wood. The veneer selections are fantastic.

Quality:
Excellent craftmanship all the way around for of the shelf. I have come to rely on Ibanez quality for quite a while. I would tour anywhere with it.

Value:
Well worth the price...and like I've seen elsewhere, it's comparable to guitars selling 3/4 times the price.

Desirability:
I get complements on it all the time. It sort of motivates me sometimes.

Sound:
Great out of the box Rockabilly sound...however it's just as sweet for in your face rock to jazz and R&B. I primarily play it through a Dean Markley DMC-80 and generate some different sounds with some Boss gear. Kicks butt live and in my studio. In fact, I have had a lot of complements form Strat and Les Paul guys on the action and the sound. FWIW, I did have it set up once after I had been playing it for about a month (that was a year ago).

Ease of Use:
A lot of folks spend years looking for 'their' sound. I knew this was the one when I 1st sat down with it...let's face it, we're going to use all kinds of stuff to modify the sound for different applications. I have been playing guitar for ...wow, 40 years now; however, today I spend more of my time on my Karma, Motif and Kurzweil; accordingly, this is the One electric guitar for almost all of my live and recording needs. I have an Ibanez AW-60 that I've had for uh...24 years for my acoustic sounds.

Support:
Never, thank you!

Overall:
I'd get the same one.

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
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. With Artcore guitars you get an amazingly affordable price plus the quality and tone you expect from Ibanez, the guitar company with over four decades of experience making full and semi-acoustic guitars.

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.
