"Do anything with this guitar, and it'll sound great!"

Feature:
Not too many features. Its durable though, and surprisingly light.

Quality:
The finish is absoultely breathtaking. The guitar its self is light and unbelievably durable. One of my knobs bent, but all it did was add charactor to the guitar :).

Value:
It should cost about $500, seriously. The only better price you could get for a guitar like this is if you walked into a guitar store and out a gun to the owners head.

Desirability:
The guitar is beautiful. It makes you feel like your a cut above the rest, and you look it, trust me. You'll attract the more classy women, which in my oppinion, is awesome.

Sound:
The sound of this guitar is amazing. Most semi-hollow bodies have a hard time with the whole lead distortion thing, but this guitar does everything. I run in through a 30watt roland amp on the tweed semi distorted setting and it blows everything else i have heard out of the water. Given, i got better pickups than came stock, but putting that aside, its a beatiful instrument to play and you can make it sing however you want.

Ease of Use:
Like i said before, you can make this guitar sing however you want, whenever you want. I bend notes like a madman, and the effect you get is like a mournful howl, absolutely beautiful.

Support:
Never had to use it, so im givin it a 10.

Overall:
Overall, great guitar, sexy look, great price, beautiful sound. Nuff said.

"Sweet Guitar, Sweet Price"

Quality:
I can't believe a guitar in this price range is this well made. The wood is nice, the translucent finish is excellent, the bindings are okay (better than you expect for the price) and the workmanship is good. It came set up out of the box, and while I will eventually tweak it, that really isn't necessary.

Value:
I still cannot believe that a guitar this good cost so little. In this price range, it is head and shoulders above the competitors.

Desirability:
This guitar is sweet! It feels good, it seems to know what you want it to sound like. I wasn't looking for a guitar when I first played one, but knew I had to have it afterwards.

Sound:
Excellent bridge pickup sound, bright but not annoying. It is really sweet through my little tube amp, with goog balance. It can play clean but really shines when it's on the edge of light distortion. Sweet!

Overall:
I will keep this guitar for a long, long time. It fits well between my Strat and acoustics sounds, with a nice jazzy sound. Can go from nearly acoustic to Chicago blues.

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
