This used Ibanez Artcore AS103NT semi-hollow body electric guitar is an affordable alternative to the Gibson ES-335, with a great-looking Flame Maple Laminate body with matching pickguard. Here in Excellent condition, it feels new and plays smoothly, with only minor play wear. Its dual Super-58 humbuckers give it a warm and smooth tone that fits perfectly with its already Lounge Lizard-esque appearance. An excellent choice for jazz riffs, the pickups are equally accommodating for blues and rock - think Clapton's Yardbirds' era tone - but it also sounds wonderful even while unplugged.
Its all-gold hardware flawlessly accentuates its look, and the ART-1 bridge with Tune-O-Matic fine tuners and Quik Change tailpiece are killer additions. This used Ibanez Artcore AS103 NT is one helluva guitar for the price, and includes its original hardshell case.
