Colin.B 24 Posted November 9, 2013 So I'm thinking of getting my wife a guitar for Christmas and through research I've narrowed it down to the Ibanez Arctcore line up. I came across the AS53 for a reasonable price but have seen the AS73 for around a hundred more. I was wondering, for you guitarists out there, is there any noticeable difference between the two in terms of sound quality? I imagine both will be great sounding instruments. Appreciate all the input! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darconf 13 Posted November 9, 2013 To me and many others, I'm sure, Guitars are like automobiles or handmade clothing . It has to fit you. Take her to a guitar store and let her get attached to; "I like this one". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colin.B 24 Posted November 9, 2013 Sorry, I should have mentioned that part of that research was going to the music store nearby. She preferred the AS73 but they didn't have an AS53 in stock for her to check out. Kind of omitted that one important detail heh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
