Description
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.

3pc. maple/ mahogany neck material

Bubinga top/maple sides/back body

"Artcore AWD82T a Fantastic Guitar"
Feature:
The new ACT tremelo is great. Easy to adjust and to string. Works as good as any 2 point trem I have used. The Bubinga top is 1st rate and looks beautiful. I wish they had put locking tuners on this guitar, but that is very easy to do myself.

Quality:
Fit and finish is excellent, the Ibanez Artcore series is known for it's quality and this guitar is no exception. Low action with no buzzing, perfect setup right out of the box. Who could ask for more.

Value:
The bang for buck value of this and every other Artcore guitar is tops.

Desirability:
This guitar is beautiful and plays well too. The highly figured top just begs to be held.

Sound:
The pickups sound good with cleans and distortion. Not very hot, but I have other guitars for that.

Support:
I purchased this at my local dealer, the support at this location is, without exception, excellent.

Overall:
I usually buy a guitar to keep and this is no exception. If some low life stole this guitar from me, I would get the insurance money and buy another one right away. It is just a killer deal. The only thing I dislike about this guitar is the location of the volume knob. I tend to bump it and turn the guitar down. I would have located it further back, but other than that, this guitar is perfect for me.

Ibanez Artcore AWD82T Customer Review
Feature:
tremolo is brilliant, but what's missing is separate tone and volume controls for each pickup to create a wider palette of sounds.

Quality:
given it's made in china, with its century-old tradition of guitar making... ahem... the quality is excellent, it's a joy.

Value:
It's an Ibanez.

Desirability:
I saw this guitar and had to have it. Still feel like that two months later.

Sound:
Love it, but then I'm not pro enough to make really valid comments on that. But for an occasional player like me, the sound fits right into my productions, and has all the semi-hollow sound I wanted. And it's still nice and forgiving to play.

Support:
n/a
