I must say that I’m very happy with my new purchases from AMS. My Ibanez Artcore Hollow Body sounds really really good through my Fender Frontman 212R amp. The sound through the amp is very clean and perfect. No hissing or other unwanted noise coming out of it like most amps I’ve played through in the past. This is possibly the best amp I’ve ever played through in my life. Yes it does get pretty loud. Hollow body guitars has a much fatter and bigger sound than the solid body electrics. That’s why I went for the Hollow Body. I like my guitar sound up front and big.

I haven’t plugged in my effects pedals in yet, but I need more batteries and extra guitar cables (the smaller ones). I’m very serious on becoming a full time electric player. No difference really, if you know how to play acoustic, you already know how to play electric, but the only thing is, the sound and feeling is different. I’m gonna have to get used to the electric.

I also plan to buy more instructional books and DVD’s that are more aimed at the electric guitar to improve my skills to a greater level. Learn more scales and soloing techniques, concentrate on improvising, etc. You know, become a more profesional guitarist. Become an actual “musician”.

I’ll try to post pics of my new axe and amp this weekend.
