New (entry level) Ibanez Artcore Jazz Box

[darkwaters]

I had an AF75 for a couple of years, but sold it. It was a well made guitar, but I just couldn't bond with the flattened C shaped neck.

I am thoroughly impressed with this budget Ibanez, especially with the impeccable fit and finish of everything. How can a low budget guitar be finished so perfectly?

I quite like the neck on this guitar: more D than C, slightly flattened, but with enough ‘meat’ on it.

Anyway, the finishing touch was a scratch plate and sure-grip knobs. Oh, and do notice the amber pickup selector switch knob! ;-)

Those “antique wood” looking finishes that they’re doing are pretty cool. They have a couple of hollow body basses that have those as well.

Congrats. Don't forget to take that foam piece out from under the bridge.

Congratulations, @studio1087 ! Every time I pick one of those Artcores up, it's harder to set back down.

I've got one of these that I've stripped of the hardware and electronics. Buffed the finish out just a bit so its sporting a satin sheen instead of flat finish. Have a pair of Tonerider Rebel 90s and a Bigsby for it but haven't had time to put it together.

Nice boxes, and the wooden bridge is a must change for more natural sound .

A friend just got a used AG95 (bubinga I think - gorgeous) and I had it over for some fretwork and setup with heavier strings (PO had skinny-top/heavy bottom roundwounds on it!??). Put some 12-52 half-rounds and played it for hours (through my BCH). Wow. I'm looking around now. Killer box. Going to have to move something out I'm afraid...

Congratulations! That's really pretty.

The color reminds me of Yamaha's SandBurst, which I love.
