Ibanez AM73 Artcore Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar
6-String Electric Guitars
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.

Quality:
I can't believe a guitar in this price range is this well made. The wood is nice, the translucent finish is excellent, the bindings are okay (better than you expect for the price) and the workmanship is good. It came set up out of the box, and while I will eventually tweak it, that really isn't necessary.
Value:
I still cannot believe that a guitar this good cost so little. In this price range, it is head and shoulders above the competitors.
Desirability:
This guitar is sweet! It feels good, it seems to know what you want it to sound like. I wasn't looking for a guitar when I first played one, but knew I had to have it afterwards.
Sound:
Excellent bridge pickup sound, bright but not annoying. It is really sweet through my little tube amp, with goog balance. It can play clean but really shines when it's on the edge of light distortion. Sweet!
Overall:
I will keep this guitar for a long, long time. It fits well between my Strat and acoustics sounds, with a nice jazzy sound. Can go from nearly acoustic to Chicago blues.
