[cheyen]

I just sold my yamaha acoustic guitar and now im looking for another one,..hehehehe,...

please help advise if the ibanez artcore is any good?
any experience?

It would be good if you're looking for something to play through an amp. If you're thinking of using an artcore by itself acoustically, I'm afraid you might be disappointed.

well, that depends really, which artcore are you looking at? ive got the AW40, its a decent guitar, the volume lets it down though.

the Artcore units are, for the asking price, nothing short of superb. people tend to relegate it as a budget Gibson alternative but it's beyond that. the Artcore has a 3-tier offering:

*Standard
*Deluxe
*Custom

some are entirely hollow units while the rest are semis. the AGS83 is on review here: http://soft.com.sg/web/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=23792

exactly- no accoustics from the Artcore range. but he indeed expressed interest in an Artcore...
