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!

Ibanez AWD83T Artcore Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar with Tremolo Reviews
10 out of 10
"Awesome guitar!"
Feature:
It didn't have all the extra stuff that you don't need and get charged more for, like the locking tremolos, etc. It had only what I needed and would use.
Quality:
I think the product best suits my needs because it is a smaller guitar and I am not used to the bigger styles. It has the same, if not better, quality than the larger guitars but it is lighter and easily played.
Value:
Very worth it.
Desirability:
I've got to have it! Next payday, I'm going to get it. I'm easily seduced by guitars and have a lot of them so before I buy a new one, I search around and this one stuck out in my mind as the best one.
Sound:
I've always heard that the mark of a good guitar is one that sounds good even before you plug it in and this one definitly has it! It sounded better that the Epiphones and Gretsch hollow bodies that I tried. Great fretboard action!
Ease of Use:
It sounds great and looks great!
Support:
I don't own the guitar yet so I don't know. But I do own several Ibanez guitars and judging from the qulaity of Ibanez products, I suspect that the support would be good.
Overall:
I would definitly buy it!!!!!

Feature:
The tremolo considering its not a locking stays in tune rather well I'm impressed upper fret access is also easily accomplished i do wish the pickups were a little hotter though thats easily remedied with new pickups there is a slight creak when using the bar this can be taken care of by purchasing a graphite nut 7 locking tuners

Value:
It;s worth every penny
Desirability:
