Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AG95QA Dark Brown Sunburst Semi-Acoustic Guitar

My first Ibanez - I've been searching for a hollow body with Character for a while. Tried the Grestch 5655T - thinline body with a more contemporary neck profile than I expect from Gretsch (?). Nice guitar for the money, but didn't really gel with it (I know in the first 10mins if any guitar is a keeper). Next try was a Guild X-175 Manhattan. Another nice Guitar, typical thick body & chunkier neck, but the satin finish was very "rough" - I did kind of Gel with this one, but ultimately the Satin finish made it feel a lot cheaper than it's £1200 price point. So I took a complete gamble and opted for the Ibanez AG95QA - WOW. What a guitar. It has everything - beautiful "zing" to it, build is fantastic, as are the hardware & pickups - I am completely entranced by this instrument, it plays and sounds fantastic each & every time I pick it up. I can't recommend these enough. Made in Indonesia, but it smacks of Japanese design & build quality - it just looks & feels so classy, and far, far more expensive than it actually cost. My first Ibanez - definitely a keeper and rapidly becoming my new favourite in the collection.
