About This Product!
Description
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!

Features
Traditional and Cutting Edge Specs

Huge assortment of styles from big and small bodied full hollows to small bodies semi-acoustics.

Tremolo models feature the original design Vintage Vibrato with a roller saddle bridge for 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.

"Hollow Body Beauty"
Feature:
for the money, It has good pickups and hardware

Quality:
the only problem I've had with this guitar in nearly 4 years is that I've had to re-glue one of the tone nobs. The entire guitar from the tuners to the internal eleectronics is solid.

Value:
I would definately reccomend this

Desirability:
many of my friends in bands have used this guitar because it's attractive and looks good on stage

Sound:
Unplugged, it has an extremely clear and bright sound, and if it's plugged into an amp, the pickups really shine as well. I have had this guitar for almost four years and it's always been excellent.

Ease of Use:
very easy to play and fits well to the body

Support:
I have never had to deal with customer support

Overall:
best guitar i've had yet (I have three others). I will definately buy an ibanez again.

"Ibanez, it don't get much better than this!"
Feature:
a 3 piece set in neck and flawless workmenship, low action playability at this price is unheard of (until now!)

Quality:
everything worked great and the set up was perfect.

Value:
folks, it doesen't get any better or cheaper than this. Ibanez is the best bang for the buck you will find anywhere!

Desirability:
it is very nice looking, and is the only thing with a nice figure my wife will let me play with.

Sound:
you get a nice mellow jazz sound out of the neck pickup and a little bit of "dirt" from the bridge pickup. Together the pickups give me a third sound that is not unlike a semihollow gibson es137.

Ease of Use:
it is one of the most playable guitars i have ever owned (I have owned over 50 guitars, and some of them cost thousands of dollars)

Support:
i have never had an ibanez guitar break or need any kind of repair work. this includes a gb10, and 3 different artcore guitars.
