Ibanez AS53 Semi Hollow Body 1 Year Review and Mods

It has been a long and winding road to get to the place where I love this guitar, but I can say now I do love it. It has some issues (I expected issues, so no problem), all of which were completely solved. In this video I will show you around the guitar and show you the modifications I did to it to make it a solid musical instrument I would gig with. It holds tune, sounds great, plays great, and is intonated nicely.
