Review Summary
2022-04-04T20:40:10
I picked up an AS73FM-TAF about a year and a half ago, after reading numerous reviews. The Ibanez pickups are well-balanced, sound great, and some owners have changed pickups with the caveat that it isn't necessary. I consider this a great instrument as is, since the Ibanez hardware is of great quality. I asked and plan to use Elixir or NYXL 10-46 strings (and I have a set of Reverend Willie's 9s) stored in the Ibanez AS100C case (made by TKL Cases, also good quality). MusicNomad's Case Humitar and HumiReader also reside in the case to maintain the instrument at the ideal temperature and humidity.
