Ibanez AWD83 and FWD60 guitars -- info?


Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with any of these Ibanez hollowbody guitars: AWD83, AWD83T, or FWD60? They share the same profile -- smallish and more curvy -- as compared to the usual big jazzbox hollowbody. I'm especially curious about the trem-equipped AWD83T. Both the 83's look nice in the pics, but Ibanez tends to exaggerate in their images.

I didn't find much mention of them in a forum search, so I'd be interested in your thoughts. Anybody have/play one?

Cheers,
Bert

Re: Ibanez AWD83 and FWD60 guitars -- info?


I've got an AWD83T. It's an awesome guitar. A friend of mine has a hollowbody PRS and my guitar is louder both plugged and unplugged, it plays like a dream. The trem is great so long as you use 10s or 9s. Also you might want to get some nut lube. I actually had a low friction nut put in. Mine also has a Dimarzio Breed in the bridge and EJ custom in the neck. The stock pickups are good but you might want to find yourself some nice aftermarket pickups that fit your tastes/playing style. I think it's a great guitar for the price. Ibanez didn't doctor their pics, they actually are that pretty. They won't get you a giant jazz box tone but you can get awfully close with decent pickups and the right amp and guitar settings. Not a heavy metal guitar but it's good for rock, blues, jazz, fusion, jam.
