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. 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.

Ibanez AF105 Artcore Custom Electric Guitar (with Case) Reviews
9 out of 10
"For those that like a quality guitar that they don't need to baby."
Feature:
Unsure as to whether I would have liked a vibrato model.
Quality:
Very well put together, and has held tuning very well. The low E drops slightly occasionally.
Value:
I am totally unaware of anyone being dissatisfied with this guitar or any Ibanez Artcore.
Desirability:
I personally wanted a rich sounding electric. As a hobby, a Byrdland is beyond a reasonable budget. But this has to be somewhere close in sound and quality.
Sound:
Possibly better electronics, but I like the wooden knobs and bridge.
Overall:
I can't imagine selling this guitar, something must've went way wrong!

"I'm sleeping with it and my girlfriend is having the couch!!!"
Feature:
I like the flamed mapple. The black outlining is very cute, also the goldy hardware is wonderfull... ''Nacre'' of pearl incrusted on the neck is pretty nice and fancy tough.
Quality:
Good stuff, good assembling, everything nice but one thing: the plug was a little loose when I first plugged it. I had to screw it better. I hardly got it out and fixed it. Now it's nice and perfect.
Value:
It worth a double cost, it works a lot more than more expensives ones I've tried.
Desirability:
I wanted it so bad, felt in love at first sight. The waves in the shape are completely outstanding. Sometimes, I open the case only to take a look at it.
Sound:
Well, to me it's a rich and onctuous blend of jazzy bar blues, u know, either rock n'rolling as well, good for country too. I actually use it for SKA tunes.
Ease of Use:
It's the hottest thing I been touching for years. Not easy to tune at the beginning, even with a tuner, but still I'm playing on it like walking on clouds. The neck, a little bit more wide than common electric guitars, is prefect for someone usualy playing on classical guitars, because the neck are mostly similar about the width.
Support:
I need nothing yet. All is ok. I hope it will last for a while.
Overall:
If I buy something else it will be a Gretch, but it will not do a better job exept ruin my pockets twice more.
