zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Mahogany set-in neck. Maple top/sides/back body. Vintage Vibrato 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 Ibanez' competitors bought them (no, we're not making this up). With Artcore guitars you get an amazingly affordable price plus the quality and tone you expect from Ibanez, the guitar company with over 4 decades of experience making full and semi-acoustic guitars.

Features:
Artcore set-in neck

Mahogany neck material provides rich warm lows and sweet sustain

Maple top/sides/back body

22 large frets

Bound Rosewood finger board

ART2 w/VBS80 Vintage Vibrato bridge

ACH1 (H) neck PU

ACH2 (H) bridge PU

Pearl dot inlay

Chrome Hardware

Huge assortment of styles, from big and small bodied full hollows to small bodied semi-acoustics, including the classic Ibanez Talman shape

Original design Vintage Vibrato with roller saddle bridge. All the great vibe of the classic trems -- with none of their traditional tuning glitches

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

It's a keeper
Sound
very versatile sound from the medium output pickups
Features
nothing fancy - straight forward. The trem is excellent and really does stay in tune well
Quality
the fit and finish are remarkable -- I didn't know a guitar from China could be so beautifully made. I'd trust this guitar to last and be able to take its lumps
Value
Exceeds my expectations by alot: I hoped for a decent semi-hollow guitar for special applications in the studio. This is a super guitar comparable to instruments costing twice as much

Haven't needed
The Wow Factor
It's not a vintage classic, but 10 years from now it may be, and it is a great looking guitar -- the blue finish is sharp close up and on stage
