Mike Gug Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I remember at least one person here had one. I also remember he commented that he liked it, BUT, I think I also remember it was during the honeymoon phase. The 13-year old guitarist in my son's band wants one. I'm gonna go seek one out for him.

Scott Fraser Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 You know, this guitar is better than it has any right to be at this price. Now, there are several members of the Artcore series, but the basic AE75 fat bodied single cutaway jazz guitar is just a very nice axe, with mostly good detailing & finish & a very decent neck. It's not in the same league as a Gretsch, but it also costs about a third as much. If I didn't already have 3 hollow body jazz guitars I would definitely get one of these Ibanez's.

The Geoff Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I think it's often thought that Ibanez only make 'shred' guitars, when in fact they make a wide range of models, some of which are very effective and decently built guitars for the money, as well as some excellent expensive ones. Their basses are excellent too. I'd love an Artcore. I've played several and have been suitably impressed by all of them. There's nothing like a big-bodied jazzer sitting on your knee wailing out, and the guitar's nice too!!! G.

otherstar Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've got an AF75, but I've played some of the others. They are all nice. Great guitar, especially for the money! Like someone said above, Ibanez makes more than just "shredder" guitars and they don't get enough attention. Turn me over, I'm done on this side...

miroslav Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Have the AFS75T and the AG85. Very happy with both. I use the AG85 on a lot of stuff. I think the pups (same in both models) are just so sweet! They have a warm vintage tone....but, they also have this nice underlying bite. Very well designed pups, IMO. miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
