Well, it will probably be a couple days, but I found the receipt. It's the AM78T...

I was going to say that yours is a AM78T model. Same guitar as my AM77 but with the bigsby. I really like the bridge pickup. Real close to a Duncan Distortion. Nice 3 piece neck. Congrats on your new guitar. I am getting the AFS78T model. It has the same finish but is full hollow body that is only as thick as your guitar. It also has the bigsby.

To back up Jackson Freak, I had an Epiphone dot for a couple of years and really liked it. It was a great guitar for the price, IMHO.

I have an AF75 (I think?) - trans blue single cut with trapeze tailpiece. Scored it for $125 (WITH case!) last year, great guitar for the money. Granted, it doesn't get much playing time, and yes, the hardware/pickups need to be replaced, but it's a hollowbody in case I need one...

If you buy an Artcore you need to buy a model with a 77# or higher
i.e. AM77, AS93,AGS83 ect. These guitars have 3 piece necks with better fretwork and better quality control. If you can step up to the Artcore Custom models they are a giant leap in quality. They have 5 peice necks with high quality fretwork. Much better pickups and better tuners.

I snagged this off the "Gearpage"... it has a real Dan Armstrong in it...
mint, and has had some fretwork dressing... plays like a $3K Archtop!
$675.00 ! (Not Ibanez...but check out the great "Art Deco" styling!

D'Angelico made in Korea. Heck if it were a real one, it would cost $28K!


Not my pic...stolen from someone..Damn, ive gotta take some pics! :-))
