Today I decided to blog about a guitar that fits a little more into most budgets. The Ibanez AM73B is a great guitar, especially for its price. It features a shallow semi-hollow body with maple top, back, and sides. It is slightly smaller than a standard semi-hollow body, but don't let that fool you, Ibanez did a great job getting a big sound out of this smaller guitar. The ACH bridge and neck pick-ups paired with the maple body gives this guitar a very tonal sound with screaming highs and punchy mids. The smaller body does leave a little to desired on the lower end, and forces you to adjust the EQ on your amp to get a truly full sound. As with most Ibanez guitars, the neck is shallow and wide, which allows for quickly moving up and down the neck, and makes power chords much more comfortable. There is not much distinction between the neck and the bridge pick-up, and I usually just leave it switched to the neck pick-up which provides great tones and more overtones than you could ever imagine.
