It doesn't sound nearly as good, but it provides more enjoyment. But I just told you that the two hundred dollar Ibanez is more fun to play. I've done it, and I have a very valuable one in the 68 Goldtop. And that is, should you struggle and scrimp to buy a big-name guitar or not. This AS73 I think brings up a really good point for consideration by all but the wealthiest guitar players. I only wish it came with some killer PAFs, but that can be handled. The neck is faster than my Wolfgang and makes the Goldtop feel like I'm playing in quicksand. The thing I love about this guitar is how it plays, the feel, the comfort. I am sure the Agiles are quite good, or so I hear, but at this price point, the Ibanez cannot be beaten. I will always have one of these and, honestly, I now want the Ibanez L5 copy, too.
I'm taking that money I had set aside for the Gibson and buying a tricked out Warmoth Les Paul.

I can upgrade the AS73 and probably get ninety percent of the way there for peanuts. I am so very glad I didn't buy a Gib 335, which I was within minutes of doing.
I use an old Marshall run clean into the Digitech Modeler (great fun) and I alter my sound markedly, sometimes from song to song. Have owned or do own a bunch of stuff in that time: Ibanez Iceman, Epi SG (my first guitar), custom Explorer, MexiTele, 68 Les Paul Goldtop, Wolfgang USA, Deans, some good and bad Chinese copies, and I don't remember what all else.

Ibanez Artcore Series AS73 Electric Guitarīeen playing since 1970. You can pair it with whatever gear you like, and you will see what makes it so great. If you are looking for a well-rounded and beautiful instrument that can work with a variety of amps and genres of music, this Ibanez will serve you very well. The truth is that the Ibanez Artcore can handle just about anything because the quality of its basic tone is excellent and easy to work with. Those are just the two that make the most use of semi-hollow electric guitars. However, with accessories like a modeling amp, pedals, or stomp boxes, you can do a lot to shape the sound to make it more suitable for other genres. It is warm and mellow through a tube amp, being most suitable for jazz and blues. Out of the box, the Ibanez has a clear and balanced sound. The inlay is a very simple pearl dot design that lets the natural wood take center stage, and all hardware is chrome. The Ibanez has a three-way switch to control whether just one or both of them are active. There are 22 frets set into mahogany, an ART1 bridge to anchor the strings, and an ACH1 humbucker in the neck position with an ACH2 at the other end.

Each finish option is beautiful with rich, full colors and a wooden texture providing detail. Playing one takes a little getting used to because the weight is different from what you expect, but aside from that, it works the same way as a regular electric.The body of the Artcore is all maple with a pair of matching cutaways on either side of the bridge. It is hard to describe until you hear one live as only then can you see exactly how the two parts of the tone interact to create something completely different. The existence of the hollow within the body and behind the pickups makes a subtle difference to the tone of the guitar even through an amp. Lastly, this slim guitar puts plenty of control into players' hands with a versatile three-way pickup selector and dual volume and tone controls.The beauty of a semi-hollow guitar is in its ability to both work acoustically with its hollow and plugged in, but it is more than just a jack of all trades. The AS73 features a mahogany neck with a bound rosewood fingerboard that joins up with the body on the 17th fret, giving musicians' fingers a silky smooth surface and easy access to high notes. Besides sounding and looking good, a guitar has to be comfortable to play. This design feature also results in increased sustain. The AS73 deals with feedback concerns by mounting the humbucking pickups into a sustain block. Available in a range of attractive finishes, including transparent cherry, brown sunburst, and deep black, this visually pleasing semi-acoustic guitar sounds as good as it looks. Add the exceptionally warm tone of a semi-hollowbody guitar to your repertoire with the Ibanez Artcore AS73 electric guitar.
