Overview
This Artcore model is an upgraded version of the popular Artcore AS73. This version features the same excellent ACH pickups and set neck design, but adds an outstanding Flamed Maple top. In fact, the whole semi-hollow body is flamed maple - an amazing feature for a guitar at this low price! The semi-hollow design increases sustain and reduces feedback, making this guitar a natural for high volume rock. Other details include a 3-piece maple/mahogany neck, 22 large frets, a bound rosewood fingerboard and the ART1 bridge.
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.

Sound
This is the one guitar in my collection that I play all the time. The neck is comfortable and fits my style of playing very well. The control layout is just right and they work better than one would expect at this price point.
Features
Pickups and controls are fine - the mellow ACH pickups sound great ans the tone controls work well with them. The flamed maple top on mine is perfect and has stood the test of time very nicely.
Ease of Use
If you like the ease of use of a 335 type guitar this Ibanez will feel like an old friend. The pickups may be a bit mellow for some but the fine tone pots help to widen the range substantially.
Quality
Not a flaw to be found - everything works like the day I got it, just as it should.
Value
Big bang for the buck - sounds and plays like a much more expensive guitar.
The Wow Factor
Very practical and well made - not fancy - just what you need and not what you don't.
