"Sweet Guitar, Sweet Price"
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! 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. The Wow Factor: 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. 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.

"Guitar of the Year!"
Sound: The Artcore was impressive right out of the box and has only improved with more use. I have a Strat too, which is an exceptional instrument, but the vibe from the Artcore, although entirely different, is just as brilliant. Although the factory PUPs are very good, Ive now installed a set of Seymour Duncan 59s that compliment the AM73 perfectly. The Artcore now positively glows and the variety of sounds that can be coaxed from it are amazing. It can go from dark and sweet, to badass raunchy, along with everything else in between. Set it up with heavy strings as soon as you get it. Feature: I was disappointed this classy guitar didnt include a pickguard and really detested the knobs for tone and volume. Finding a case for it has also been a hassle. Aside from those minor details, this guitar is perfect. For the price, you just know some corners had to be cut. Ibanez was smart to reduce production costs on these minor and easily corrected details, instead of on the quality of construction (which is superb), wood or electronics. Good job Ibanez! Quality: Quality is very important to me and it just oozes from this guitar! The blue finish is perfect. Nothing was skimped in the construction, the build is top notch. The pots and switch feel solid and it stays in tune no matter what. The black headstock looks classy with the Ibanez name in mother of pearl and silver logo. I didnt find this quality even on guitars that were MUCH more expensive. Its a set neck and interior kerfing. This sucker is solid! Value: This is a perfect beginners guitar. The price is right and this axe will lead you down the road a loooooong ways. In the hands of an experienced player, it can do anything! Twenty years from now, the AM73 will be a classic; it really is a sexy beast. Everyone who has seen mine, think it cost me at least three times more than I paid for it. Manufacturer Support: Don't really know...don't think I ever will. The Wow Factor: Its stunning. I know a lot of people like the brown, but the blue is gorgeous. My next-door neighbor is a Sound Engineer and says it has great stage presence all I can say is that it looks impressive in my practice room! Overall: If for some reason I lost my Artcore, I would unquestionably get another immediately. Heck, buy a bunch of them now while theyre cheap and make a truckload of money off them twenty years down the road.
