I wrote a previous review for the Ibanez AFJ- 85. There is an error; I play right-handed. Still, you can hardly go wrong with this axe, righty or lefty.March 6, 2013 Music Background: 50 years: folk, surf, rock, jazz & experimental. recording engineer & local produce.r It's a beauty!

I was originally looking at the Ibanez AS53, AS73, AM73, and AF75, but when I saw the AFJ85 was on sale, I couldn't pass it up. Its style was exactly what I was looking for.March 8, 2013 Music Background: Playing the guitar again after 25 years. It's just a hobby. The fit and finish ... read more [+]are okay. I would have given it a higher rating if the fret ends had been finished better, because they were a little rough. Setup on the guitar was good. Realize that you'll have to loosen the strings to get the foam out from under the bridge, but, if you do it carefully, intonation should be okay. The AFJ85 sounds good too in spite of the ceramic pickups. I went direct-in to my mixer to avoid coloration from my amp and I don't think you can find anything better in this price range. It's a great looking guitar that plays easily with good sound. I can't complain about it, especially at this price point! close [-]
