I’ve been greatly impressed by the Artcore Series for its incredible bang for the buck. Nice playing and sounding guitars for the money and a great platform for mods. This AK75 is no exception. The fully hollow body is made from laminated maple for a nice big tone. The 24.75 inch scale mahogany neck features a bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 large frets. Pearl block inlays adorn the fingerboard for a classy look. This example has been upgraded with a set of GFS Dream 90 singlecoils. Cool sounding pickups that deliver classic P-90 tone ion a humbucker sized housing. A great sounding set of pickups with nice mids. An art deco tailpiece, floating Tuneomatic style bridge and sealed tuners keep everything solid. This one sports a cool all gold finish reminiscent of a 50’s Gibson ES-295. A really cool jazzbox for the budget Scotty Moore fan, this one is dripping with vibe!
Like most every Artcore I’ve had in stock, this Ibanez has good tone and feel. The neck is straight and the action is good. The pickups sound excellent and the tone is nice. Pretty cool. Condition wise this one is clean. It shows light pick and clearcoat scratches as well as moderate pickguard scratches. Comes in an Ibanez hardhsell case.
If you want the cool looks of a Gibson style gold finish and a great price, this may be an excellent choice! No longer available in stores. Keep in mind that the GFS pickup would cost you $60.00 plus another $90.00 for the hardshell case. This one is definitely a good deal!
