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.

"a value anyway you look at it"
Sound:
Out of the box the fit and finish was pristine,if you are a fan of nateral wood finishes you will love it.I did have put out another 50 bucks to have it set-up for me. The binding on the guitar is perfict like so many others who are never compleatly happy with anything straight out of the box.( it's got to be a man thing )I had mine hotroded also I had seymore dunkin clasic 59's,Dunlop Strap lock's and locking tuners. It's sweet beauitful wood beauitful sound it dosen't git any better. Honestly I did not give its orginal hard ware a chance. in conclusion I love my artcore it has a look that I love, and construction that matches any other on the market.

Support:
I have not had the the pleasure of having to deal with Ibanez, I concider that a positive !

"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.
