Ibanez Artcore AWD82T Customer Review
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.
Features
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.

"Artcore AWD82T a Fantastic Guitar"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
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.
Sound
The pickups sound good with cleans and distortion. Not very hot, but I have other guitars for that.
Features
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.
Manufacturer Support
I purchased this at my local dealer, the support at this location is, without exception, excellent.
The Wow Factor
This guitar is beautiful and plays well too. The highly figured top just begs to be held.
