Comments about Ibanez Artcore AS7312 12-String Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar:
I play in a "nostalgia" rock/cover band. This guitar really nails the 12-string sound we've sought particularly with respect to songs by the Byrds. The fit and finish was quite impressive and playability was excellent! I believe it to be a much better value than 12-string electric guitars costing several times as much as this one!

Comments about Ibanez Artcore AS7312 12-String Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar:
This 12 string is fun and enjoyable to play. The overall set up was good, but I had to adjust the
trust rod 1/4 turn and lower the bridge 1/2 turn on each side to improve the action. This was easy to do and did not cause any fret buzz and good elevation was maintained over the pick ups. The craftsmanship is excellent and finish is beautiful. The ASC100C Ibanez case was too short for this 12 string. Royce at Musician's Friend helped me with the return, found me a beautiful Epiphone EDREAD case, which fits very well (with the addition of a bath towel in the bottom of the case to level the neck). Tuning problems are eliminated by keeping this 12 string in the case , while the guitar is not in use. The 15% Holiday sale at Musician's Friend was fantastic!

Comments about Ibanez Artcore AS7312 12-String Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar:
I wanted this guitar to play, maybe a dozen songs. Hotel California, some Byrds and some Beatles. So, I really didn't like the more expensive alternatives. For something that's going to get limited use, I really wanted something affordable.
I read the reviews for this guitar, and honestly, I've had phenomenal experiences with chinese and indonesian made guitars recently. Their quality is absolutely top rate. In fact, the only guitar I bought sight-unseen recently that didn't work out was a mexican made telecaster.
So, I figured I'd take a chance on this.
Sounds great. Exactly what you'd expect from an electric 12 string. Not a really deep tone with these pickups. They're sorta trebly, but honestly, so are old Rickenbackers and the 12s that we're used to hearing from the 1960s.
Fit and finish were phenomenal. This guitar is well made. This is a set neck guitar. No flaws I could see. The finish was a shiny red. (The pix make it look sorta dulled or maybe satin. It's not like that. It's gloss bright red.)
My only complaint is that the width of the neck is very thin, and it's sorta base-ball batty. Some guys like that feel. Some guys don't. I do wish the string spacing were just a tad wider, but honestly, for playing a little bit here and there, this is fine. I was able to get in there and pick out individual strings just fine.
My guess is that this is the width of their standard 6 string and they just put another 6 strings in there.
For the price I paid, though, I'm honestly not complaining. I love playing this thing. And given that the next closest models in terms of price are anywhere from 2 to 3 to 10 times as much, I'm very, very happy with this purchase. I would absoutely buy this one again.

Comments about Ibanez Artcore AS7312 12-String Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar:
I bought a sunburst AS7312 as a "stupid deal" closeout mostly because I happened to have been learning a few REM, Smiths, and Petty tunes at the time that I stumbled upon the sale- though I had never even played a twelve before. To be honest, I wasn't expecting such a nice guitar. The finish is perfect, it's easy to play (I'm a novice), holds tune reasonably well, and sounds sublime. Admittedly, my perspective is a bit limited as this is only my third guitar, but I really think this Ibanez is a great option to add a little jangle to your repertoire without breaking the bank.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Ibanez Artcore AS7312 12-String Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar:
Great looking guitar that really has a nice tone to it. The only negative is keeping it in tune and that Ibanez really doesn't make a case that fits it. The Epiphone Ed-red fits the guitar perfect though.

Comments about Ibanez Artcore AS7312 12-String Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar:
I already reviewed this once, but I'm adding a 2nd review with a 5 star rating.
The downside to this guitar is that the string spacing is narrow. They really ignored a little extra real estate on the fingerboard and could have done a better job with this.
But after putting some time in on the thing, it's easy to get used to. You have to judge all this relative to price.
Other than that, the Pros are all the same: insanely low price, great little set-neck guitar, fit and finish were perfect.
The only hangup I had with this was trying to find a case. I had a devil of a time. I ordered an SKB Thin Body Semi-Hollow Guitar Case. But the headstock did NOT fit inside. That case seems to be a half inch or inch smaller than the specs suggest.
I had to eventually find a gator case: GWJM335 Semi-Hollow Electrics Deluxe Wood Case.
This case fits great. The Ibanez is a very thin guitar (depth of the body is maybe a little thinner than a standard ES335), but this case worked well.
So, again, strongly recommended. Would be interested in finding out what other cases worked for folks. I've heard people say the case for epi dots fits. I believe it.
But the gator cases were really perfect. Note: i don't know if the gator injection molded cases will work. They seem to be smaller.

Comments about Ibanez Artcore AS7312 12-String Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar:
After reading previous reviews, I was surprised that the guitar was better than expected. Solid, quality instrument. The set up was excellent, the intonation dead on; all I had to do was tune up. I am very pleased with the tonal variety. I am very surprised by how easily it plays on the fret board; the action is low and similar to my other guitars. Prior to getting this guitar I had a good quality acoustic 12 string that I had to drop tune to make it playable. The only thing I'm going to have to get used to is the string spacing, especially for my picking hand. Excellent product especially for the price.

Comments about Ibanez Artcore AS7312 12-String Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar:
PERFECT RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. GLAD I DIDN'T BUY A HIGHER PRICED GUITAR. (GLAD ALSO I DIDN'T BUY A CHEAPER MODEL) MY GUITAR FITS PERFECT IN MY ACOUSTIC CASE IN WHICH I PUT A SMALL BLANKET UNDER IT.
