Ibanez AS93ZW-NT Artcore Expressionist (Natural High Gloss)
This is a really great guitar. The action and feel is really smooth. Sound quality is great. The Zebra wood helps to produce a lovely warm tone. I use this guitar for playing Jazz and blues and is very well suited for that but I would go further to say it’s not limited to those styles and is well suited for Rock and any other genres.
This guitar is a dream come true. Excellent craftmanship, sound and playablility. For the price of an entry level semiacoustic, you get a professional grade instrument.

Just great guitar. Superb. I was thrilled when I took it in my hands. Neck pickup is fabulous, crystal clear, punchy, man cannot ask for more. Bridge pickup I like but it hasn't amazed me as neck pickup. Guitar has fantastic sustain. It reacts fenomenaly to pedal effects. Tuners hold guitar in tune very well. Neck is smooth, fast and very playable. Volume and tone pots are pretty decent, there are no unwanted sounds when you use them. Nice touch is rubber ring around each pot. High-gloss finish and binding are made very well. Of course, strings change is a must.
Cons: I don't like gold painted hardware because paint will come off in time. Eventually I will change all gold hardware. Toggle switch could be better, it is a little bit loose or should I say "weak". These cons do not interfere playability or sound quality.
