    @Alizar06 i bought a AS93 today.
    most beautiful guitar ive ever seen.

  • EuphoriaMusicSession says:

    usually, famous musicians are signed to a certain contract which tells them to use certain instruments (which is why you’ll see little boys such as the jonas brothers using 2,000 dollar Gibsons)

  • Alizar06 says:

    honestly, the guitar does look kinda plain, but if you hit up ebay for some new pickup rings and knobs you might be able to spice it up

  • johnhguitar says:

    I’ve been playing guitar for about 45 years.

    For the Ibanez, go on line and look for dealers. Thanks

  • zorrette7 says:

    Hey, nice playing, u got some skill how long u been playing for? Where can u pick up one of these things? I’ve played an ibanez bass before and i really like the brand, so would you recommend this over the AF-75, i dont wanna be paying through the roof for a guitar that i’m not gunna play so im just doing research. Anyway i just wanted pro-opinion before i start

    1.00, it’s larry david! Good man.

  • BeatmanMyth says:

    @Dictum1 for a semi-hollow body I think it looks pretty kool.

  • pl4typuses says:

    where the Ibanez Artcore AS73B is made from?

    I’m so confused which I should get between this and an Epiphone Dot

  • Rennanxp2 says:

    omg That guitar is ugly as hell !!!

    LOL !!!

  • leezus83 says:

    “ehehehe… blues man from long island! teehee”

  • Dictum1 says:

    It sounds great – but it doesn’t look great.

    In fact……it’s ugly.

    Maybe Gibson, or some other outfit, have a saboteur designing guitars for Ibanez.

  • yekshemesh4alig says:

    lol 0:58!!
    definitely one of the nicer semi-hollowbodies I’ve ever seen!
    and if you say it’s good, I take your word for it

  • csogoreny says:

    0:38 what the ff… are u doing?

  • foxloner says:

    what are your thoughts about someone like me who after 30 years of not playing suddenly wants to get back to music and collect guitars…???

    I am not sure why, but I not only want to play again, but I want to collect guitars, is there a pill for what I got?

    Thanks for serious replies…

  • jakpicell says:

    why don’t the ibanez artcore range give off feed back

  • johnhguitar says:

    Ibanez first. A few EPIPs are OK but they’re not as consistent as the Ibanez company.

  • AintLifeGrand666 says:

    Hello first off, love the vid, like the guitar except for the color.
    I’m moving away from punk-rock myself and looking for a guitar for a more blues/rock sound and to practice some more in my living room. I don wont to spend a lot of money so I’m hesitating between a epiphone es335 or a ibanez as73. It will be played trough a black heart full tube amp or acoustic.
    What would you recommend in terms of sound and playing comfort for rock/bluesrock. The epi 335 or the ibanez as73

    Regards Danny

  • maxwellthedog says:

    Hi John,
    And another Irishman here (living in Australia)
    I like that guitar BUT, the other artcore on your left in the vid is more interesting to me, have you reviewed it yet? I would love to hear it.

    Cheers mate

  • DMEB says:

    yet another irish man here… this is one cool looking and sounds really really nice!!!

  • gooffy5489 says:

    Could you tell me how the epiphone DOT compares to this guitar? Would you recommend it in general?
