Ibanez: AJD91C

This is one of those Artcore (semi-hollow) models which is stunning in looks & performance. The 'C' suffix in its model alpha-numerics represents the guitar's body wood- cocobolo. As exotic as it looks, the tone generated here would appease those in search of that thick bottom end without mushing out when playing single notes at intense drive/ distortion. All the guitar's attributes are deserving in terms of above-average performance but I'd question the necessity of the fine tuners (part of the Quick-change Ultra hard tail) as intricate tuning can be done over at the headstock.

Very decent/competitive pricing... Too bad I'm already eyeing a few stuff (your EVJ head too... pay should be coming soon... I hope...)
