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! The AFS75T features large frets, a maple body, the ART-2 roller bridge and ACH humbuckers.
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 our 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 four decades of experience making full and semi-acoustic guitars.

Ibanez AFS75TD Artcore Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar Reviews
9 out of 10
"Get the sound & vibe of the classic Gibson 335 for under $500"
Feature:
For the money, the Ibanez cannot be beaten - no way. Example: compare this to the Epiphone Dot - it comes with a rather incredible vintage-style tremelo that, even under wild use, keeps the guitar in tune. The Epiphone seems way less of a grandson of the Gibson 335 with no standard tremelo. Beautiful finish, the use of great wood, and speedy knobs.
Quality:
Considering the low price, the quality is exceptionally decent. Like it has been said, the company put the care and effort into the body and the tremelo to produce an amazingly inexpensive guitar for what you get.
Value:
No doubt about it, for the money this is pure value - this appears to be a universal comment
Desirability:
Those guitarists looking to find a new alternative to shelling out thousands on a vintage 355 (or a bit less on a 335) will be drooling when this is in their hands. It is just so much better to look at and play than the Epiphone Dot. The finish is immaculate - and you certainly do not have to be a rockibilly dude to think this is sexy.
Sound:
The Ibanez is a serious contender in the Gibson 335/355 league. Easily blowing away the Epiphone Dot (its major rival) in every column, it is the sound of the Ibanez that is most bewitching. Rich, earthy blues tone at one end, and sharp, Bernard Butler-esque attack at the other.
Ease of Use:
The tremelo is the main feature of the Ibanez, and man how it keeps in tune. Uncanny. Extremely easy to use, like the old Gretsch.
Overall:
I had wanted a guitar that sounded like a Gibson 335 - just for the hell of it - and discovery of this blew any others out of the water. Of course if I wanted the original, I'd find one and pay for it (or much, much more for a Gibson 355). But I simply didn't want to invest the money. This is why I was so surprised to find the Ibanez - quality at such a low price, and the tremelo to die for...
