Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Fast neck, well balanced, extremely well made, and sounds fantastic.

It has a warm, rich sound, and the semi-hollow body makes it resonate really nicely.

Unfortunately the action is too high (easy fix) and the frets are incredibly gritty.

Turn the volume knobs beyond about 7 and the neck pickup goes to mush, while the bridge gets crackly.

Price

Much better than the cheap $60 guitar i was practicing on before.

Ibanez gives you a lot of guitar for short $$$.

For what i paid, expecting to get one is laughable.

Those other guitars were all in the neighborhood of $800.

Shipping

The guitar arrived quickly and is beautiful.

Packaging/appearance

Yes, it needs some tweaking on its set up but out of the box it was really close and it was playable.

Competitiveness

For me it beat out the comparable epiphone and sounds better than some higher end gretschs i played in store.

These guitars are quite the deal at a lower price than the competition and have a better sound.

For the money, there zero guitars that compete with the as73.

I compared my as73 to (mostly) gib.
