Description
Artcore AXD guitars successfully deliver heavy tones without the heavy weight. These amazingly affordable instruments feature a set-neck design with a semi-hollow body. They are truly built to rock. The AXD81 features an all maple body and a flamed maple top for outstanding look and tone. The AXD81's neck is 3-piece, composed of maple and mahogany. This model has the following features: a bound rosewood fingerboard, 22 large frets, an Ibanez ART1 bridge, ACH1/2 humbucking pickups, and chrome hardware.
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' even some of their competitors bought them (you just can't make this stuff up). 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.

Ibanez AXD81 Artcore Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar Reviews
9 out of 10
"Sweet little thing..."
Feature:
Could be nicer with twin volume and tones controls
Quality:
The finish was perfect. The tone pot needed some work - there was a short and it would "scratch" when moved.
Sound:
I love the clean, trebled neck tones for blues and jazz. The brige is fine for edgier stuff. I've tried different strings and use GHS Boomers (11) for a brighter but heavier sound.
Overall:
Great quitar for versatility. If you can only afford just one... this could be it!

"A Hidden Treasure"
Feature:
It's a very basic 1 tone, 1 vol, 1 3-way setup, but it's very functional.
Quality:
I was totally amazed at how well this was made, for such an inexpensive guitar. The fit and finish was outstanding.
Desirability:
It's a great little axe that plays great and looks clean.
Sound:
Nice tone for smoother stuff and blues. The bass can be a bit muddy. The difference between the pups is very clean and distinct.
Ease of Use:
It's so light, yet solid. It's a pleasure to play for long periods.
Support:
NA
Overall:
I own it and would get it again.
