With its set mahogany neck, double cutaway design, and smaller body size, the AM73B Artcore is a super-comfortable, super-playable semi-acoustic guitar.

The Ibanez AM73B Artcore semi-hollowbody guitar may be a smaller size but it has all the power, presence and features of its larger cousins. It's perfect for smaller players or anyone else who wants the traditional semi-acoustic elements but not the traditional size. Featuring a set mahogany neck for loads of sustain, large frets for easy bending, and humbucking pickups with a tight tone response, the Ibanez AM73B is a fantastic value.

I plan on keeping this guitar and passing it on to my grandaughter when I move on from this life. If I do anything to it, I would change the ceramic pickups to maybe some Gibson classic 57's. I have just ordered a Fender Classic Player 60's Strat from Zzounds in order to satisfy my craving for for both single coil and humbucker tone. Between the two, I have my tone pallette satisfied!
Sound
Pickups sound articulate, clear and bright. Different, of course, from alnico magnet pickups. Tone is in the head of the player. I like alnico II magnets, but these pickups sound nice.
Ease of Use
The AM 73 came set up well. The only adjustment I made was to straighten the neck slightly to my own specs.
Quality
Finish is the Tobaco Flat, which I love! The neck is also a satin finish and easy to move around on. One of the reasons I chose this semi hollow body over the others is it's neck profile. It is what I like. I played Gibsons, Epiphones, Corts and found the Artcore neck to be the most comfortable for me.
Value
You cannot beat the value of these Artcore guitars. The economy forced me to sell my guitars to pay bills. When it came time to rebuild, this was my humbucker tone choice.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed support from Ibanez.
The Wow Factor
Looks sexy to me!
