About the Ibanez AK86 Artcore Hollowbody Electric Guitar
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. With Artcore guitars you get an amazingly affordable price plus the quality and tone you expect from Ibanez, the guitar company with over four decades of experience making full and semi-acoustic guitars.
Ibanez AK86 Artcore Hollowbody Electric Guitar Reviews
Quality:
Absolutely remarkable finish. I have owned a lot of guitars in 48 years of playing includes Gibsons, Gretschs and Guilds. This is finished better than any of them. I have paid over $3,000.00 for guitars not as well made as this.
Value:
This guitar is worth way more than the price Ibanez asks for it.
Desirability:
NOt only does this guitar make you sound good. It makes you look good on stage. The appearance is so phenomenal that you look like a top-notch pro in the eyes of the audience. Only someone with a lot of clout gets to play something this nice.
Sound:
This instrument has a great tone. It is the first guitar I have ever played that I like the sound of the bridge pickup. All the others sounded too tinny to my ear. This one has just the right amount of spank while still retaining the hollowbody tone.
Ease of Use:
A hollowbody is always harder to play than a solid. If you use too light a string set you lose the tone of the body. I would prefer the pickup switch on the top bout but that is a minor thing. It is great to play.
Support:
I have never had to use support on any Ibanez product yet. So I rate that high.
Overall:
I had thought that I might buy another Gretsch Tennessee Rose in a year or two. Now that I own the AK86 I don't see why I would need to.
