Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
it feels great. it's just right for me. it's not too large and it's not too heavy. The action is just right.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
I just love the way it sounds.

How did the stain or paint job look?

No! My gut feeling on a Chinese made guitar was to avoid them ! This model got alot of positive reviews online ......and I bought this with the hopes that the reviews were true..
Looking at this guitar out of the box .... i wanted to convince myself to keep it ... but what good is a guitar that is beautiful that you cant play cause of sharp fret edges !

Beautiful in appearance, impossible to enjoy playing
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Fret edges were as sharp as razors ..all the way up ! every fret ! Too bad , cause the neck would have been a comfortable feel !
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Didnt really bother getting into how it sounds
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Outstanding job on the finish ....kids !
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Horrible ! The action was rediculously high, i could have lowered it and set it all up , but the sharp frets was a deal breaker . Mind you this guitar did not cost a fortune like a usa semi hollow would .... but still this was not so cheap that you would expect sharp fret edges ..

This Ibanez Artcore AM93 Semi Hollow Body guitar is as good as it gets for the price. Solid construction, beautiful finish!

Have only had this guitar for a month and it looks like it will stand the test of time.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
I did a lot of research before deciding on this Ibanez. I thought it strange to see all five stars no matter where I searched. Now I know why. I to give this little baby my highest rating!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
The feel is smooth and the neck is perfect for my small hands.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The tone can be changed to bright or dark with the twist of a knob. Great sound!
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
I was hoping that Ibanez had a blue finish on this guitar however the red is awesome and the finish is like glass no blemishes anywhere. Fine workmanship!
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Right out of the box the guitar was ready to play. Action is set for the general guitarist but has the flexibility to be modified depending on your skill level.
