Ibanez AGR73T Hollowbody Electric Guitar  

I recently purchased  an Ibanez AGR73T for my son.  I had previously purchased an Ibanez AG95 and my son and I had both fallen in love with it, so I thought I would purchase an Ibanez for my son as a graduation present. The guitar is phenomenol and one of the most versatile and best set-up guitars (out of the box) I have had the pleasure of playing. The sustain is will hold longer than a PRS or Fender Strat. My son likes the vintage vibrato and has stretched the strings to the point that I thought they would break and the guitar remained in tune.  He also likes the metallic white finish but I would have preferred a candy apple red (if they make it)

Ibanez makes fine guitars. I currently own four Ibanez guitars and the quality in each one is superb.

Like all other aspects of this guitar, the value is outstanding. I own other guitars that I have paid 8 - 10 times more for and the value compares equally to those guitars. It is great that Ibanez has kept the price of these Artcore guitars in an affordable range so that the average musician can afford to play a high quality guitar.

The body size of the guitar is the primary reason I purchased the guitar. I am only 5'8" tall and  the body size of the guitar  is perfect for me. When I discovered the body was the same size as the AG95 that sealed the deal.

I have played the guitar on a Fender, Peavy and Marshall amp and it sounds equally well on each one. Have played with and without an effects processor and it sounds great both ways. It is really a versatile guitar.

The sliding truss rod cover is a nice touch and i like the neck construction and gold hardware as well.

It feels nice and solid and put together very well.

I feel like i got more guitar for my money,so i'd have to say that in my opinion that it is a very good value from a price to quality standpoint.

I really enjoy this guitar!It looks amazing,sounds great and the neck is slim and short with a great action!This is my first hollowbody(that wasn't an acoustic.) and i couldn't be happier with my choice!It is very comfortable and easy to play.I would recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a decent hollowbody.When it arrived and i played it i instantly fell in love!I couldn't put it down for more than 10 minutes the first 3 days it was here!

Have this guitar - owned it for several months. Extremely versatile - unique sound - very British sound - can get nice jazz sound - and sharp rockabilly sounds. Very well made - absolutely beautiful to look at.

Top Notch!

Ridiculous value for the money!  Play this on any gig except metal.

A real keeper - probably be a collectors item in years to come - it's that good and that good looking.

If I had to categorize my playing style, I'd say I am a bluesman.     After graduating High School, I was given enough money as graduation     presents from friends and family to purchase a new guitar for college,     and a hollow bodied guitar seemed ideal given the type of music I play.

                     The humbucking neck pickups sound absolutely phenomenal for a raw blues     sound, and turned up all the way, this guitar, in conjunction with my     Fender Twin Reverb creates a natural overdrive that my Squire, my former     weapon of choice, simply could not achieve. The Bridge Pickups sound     absolutely gorgous when playing 9 chords for a Jazzy, bell-sounding warm     tone. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the tone of this guitar     is.

                 Playability-wise, it leaves some to be desired. If     you're into blues, you're not going to sound like SRV; the neck is too     fat for that, so slowing down a bit comes with the territory. It's also     quite heavy; what you should get from this is that you're not going to     shred on this guitar. But melodic leads are quite achievable. I had been     jamming with a band on the Miles Davis classic "Caravan" on a Epiphone     Les Paul, and switching to this archtop allowed opened my mind to some     truly awesome spanish-sounding phrygian leads.

                     Aesthetically, this guitar looks, for a lack of a better term, tacky.     The white finish and gold hardware looks a bit ostentatious, but who     really cares about looks when it can play the way it does. I love this     guitar, and I take my guitars very seriously. Definitely worth the     price.
