I went to a local G.C. the other day and played some cheapo Ibenez jazz guitar. Ime not a big time jazz player but ive ventured off into it becouse I like useing some of the chords when I play blues-like Stevey Ray Vaugan used to do infact thats where I got the idea. I dont want some big time exspensive Jazz guitar but Ime thinking maybe one of those cheapo Ibenez guitars might do the trick. I think most list around $650 to $750.
Has anyone else played one or own one of these guitars? can you give me a review? I thought maybe if I switched out the pickups and put in some Duncans I could make it work but ime not sure about the tuners or nut or electronics-all three being weak spots on cheap guitars. Is there somthing else in this price range I should be checking out instead thats any better? Ime hopeing to increase my knoledge of Jazz but I dont want to spend a fortune cuz right now its just something I like but ime not realy serious about it. When I play my strats I find myself playing blues or rock again in about 20 minutes. Ime hopeing the Jazz guitar will help me to focus alittle more-thnx

I used to have one of the Artcores, the AS83, and it was a pretty awesome guitar for the cash. I really liked the neck and the stock pickups were pretty nice actually. I wound up selling it because it didn't get played nearly as often as all my solid bodies, but if I was in the market for a semi I'd look at them again.

right on-thnx for the info
