Great. Right into the playing. Everything is clean. Sounds great.

I bought an AS93FM a few months ago after going through three brand new Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" 335s in a row that all had terrible QC (I guess they're pretty committed to replicating the full Gibson experience! XD). I had owned an Artcore back in the early oughts when they first came out, and it was kinda "meh", so I never really seriously considered Artcores after that... but that was a mistake. Epiphone used to be my go-to brand for mid-range semi-hollow guitars, but the AS93 blows the pants off of any Epiphone I've ever owned or played - including a Sheraton II that I had for a brief time a couple of years ago (I sent it back). I used to think that Epiphone was the "gold-standard" for mid-priced semi-hollow guitars, but the next time I'm in the market for one, I'm gonna skip Epiphone and go straight to Ibanez. I'm not married to the Gibson aesthetic, or "Mickey Mouse" ears. In fact, I think I like the look of the AS93 better than the 335 (gasp! sacrilege!). However, I didn't care for the "Super 58" pickups. I found them to be a little too harsh for my liking. They have a lot of definition for playing finger-style, which is why I assume all those Jazz cats like George Benson and John Scholfield like them (if these are anything close to the original Super 58s), but I don't play finger-style. When playing with a pick, they sound too strident and slightly too bright for me. No matter what I tried, I just couldn't get it to sound quite the way I wanted. I was never a big fan of A3 magnets to begin with, so I swapped out the 58s for a set of Epiphone Pro-Buckers that were looking for a home, and now that guitar suits me right down to the ground.

Spot on. The current crop of Super 58s are said to be a bit more compressed and ceramic-y than the early (1990s) models that were very well regarded and re-sell for a pretty penny these days. I am a finger-player, so I left the bridge pu in for the articulation but replaced the neck with a Gibson Classic 57 to expand/warm the tone up. Frankly, I prefer the AS93 to my Gibsons for most types of material. Build quality is incredible for the price point.

The AS93 is amazing with buttery super 58 pu's. I'll take it any day over a heavy, bland sounding 335.
