Ibanez Artcore AS53? WILL IT CHUG?

[@alecmunro1732]

You made it chug at 22 seconds in. Talk about spoilers :D I shall continue watching.

[@MikeCarvin]

It did, right on the moment when you turned on the overdrive!!

[@BlyndCyclopz]

Try to get a D'Angelico Deluxe 175 LE... To chug. 🤭

[@petermuller161]

Better luck next time. It’s all a part of growing older my friend

[@gaminggizmos8570]

I apologize in advance, Ola But It all Sounds The Same :(

[@Hoscitt]

I think the real challenge would be to find a guitar that won't chug through a 5150!

[@Xaion6]

Right!!! I think that Danelectro would shatter a small moon through a 5150

[@alfaalex101]

Dimebucker in split coil mode in F standard. That’ll do it.

[@Fektthis]

a 2X4 with two nails and a string between them with the condenser mic from an old Ericson phone would chug through that rig.

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

Exactly

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

@@alfaalex101 pretty sure you could still make it chug if you wanted to.

[@s.e.n3264]

Hollowbody's are actually great for metal imo. The low end response is great due the natural resonance. I would love to see a company put out a high end hollowbody for metal.

[@briansnyder3405]

I've been wanting that for years! Like a thinline ES135, some cool art deco would be rad

[@grandudetonesnob7107]

NOT wrong! 👍

[@USDAselect]

That combo of low output humbuckers with EL34s in a high gain amp is to die for. That *Angel of Death* bit at the end was so close to Kerry's tone probably because of the old style pickups through high gain Model 2210 Marshalls that Kerry had.

[@SuffyANX]

Yep, low output passive pickups through a high gain amp is by far my favorite pairing. Tons of dynamic range from the pickups, which makes chugs sound even chunkier when you really dig in, and chords usually sound clearer too

[@christhiele4476]

Yeah I totally agree. I acctually love running my crappy Epiphone SG through my hughes and kettner grandmiester. It gets that old metal tone and you can smash out chords if you want. My Schecter sounds heavier ofc but I cant lie I love that old tone

[@milojohnson3057]

@@christhiele4476truly proof that a good amp is more important than a good guitar

[@blacktoothfox677]

Well, have to say, owning that very guitar, well... The pickups are pretty bloody hot, man. Maybe the 3rd o or 4th highest output in my 20- odd collection... So... Awesome though to find I'm not alone in my thrash hollowbody love!🍀 welcome to see it on my two-bit channel btw, always glad of more metal for company. Ola is the best here on the toobz

[@saulosouza8078]

​@@blacktoothfox677 i own one of these too and i can confirm that is bloody hot, pickup are called Inifinity R, is ceramic and the bridge has 13k output.

[@ven_aeva]

I bought this guitar 7-8 years ago as my first own guitar. It served me well for many years and I recorded Metal, Rockabilly and similar stuff with it many times. I did sell it eventually though, but only because I ran out of space lol.

[@colinchristensen6603]

I’ve got an Epiphone Dot that sounds great at high gain. The hollowish body gives a really fat low end and dark tone that works well with gain especially bright pedals that can sound harsh with other guitars.

[@bretsamblis5560]

I loooove my Epi Dot Studio! I don't even have an urge to change the pups. I bought it used for like $250 or something, and I'm pretty sure the value has gone up since I got it in 2014. It's my least expensive guitar, but I love it as much as my most expensive. She's a keeper.

[@joshritz7067]

Back in my youth, I was getting into George Thorogood and slide guitar. My parents bought me massive the next step up of the Ibanez Artcore series and to this day I'm still amazed by how well it played and sounded especially considering the price.

[@BertrandECHALLIER]

I’ll never get tired of that 99 intro riff, I love it so much 🖤

[@LookieChannel]

That was fun and enjoyable, as always :) Good job. The black matt finish seemed so simple yet intriguing when I saw in the shop. Happy you brought this episode to us :)

[@zachary963]

I have a guitar from this line and love it. The neck is so easy, and the sound is so rich because of the hollow wings, but controllable because of the solid middle block. It’s a little dark, but you can get over that because of the richness in the tone.

[@FrozenSolid742]

This guitar doubles for metal and jazz n blues, it looks the part for both and it sounds the part for both. And considerably good looking. Man!

[@hedbngr18]

I used to jam on one of these pretty regularly back in the mid-2000's at my local GC. They sound and play great. I am a die hard Jackson fan, but there are several Ibanez's that I really like. I do wish that I had picked one of these up back in the day. Now I have the money, but I don't have the space.

[@nazliuz]

🤣

[@killyouass]

This was really helpful, I didn't want to spend that much and wanted another guitar. Thanks!

[@Jellyfriedfatness]

Dude. I was just playing mine, and this popped up

[@sgtscumbag]

i think the best part about these videos is Ola's completely zoned-out, thoughtless, stonefaced gaze when he figures out how to make it chug.

[@NoCantsAllowed]

Ola Englund... Friend-to and helping-out the newbies or those who cant afford $1000 axes! The MAN!

[@garryoberholtzer5626]

I actually hated the stock pickups in this guitar but my grandfather bought me one as a gift going to college so I swapped the tuners, nut, bridge, and pickups for gotohs, a graphtech, a gibson tunamatic, and high output seymour duncans and the thing rips. It's by far my favorite and most sentimental guitar I own, even for metal. Also loved the Blue Sky Edit

[@ChristIsRisen33]

*feeling emo, might delete*

[@GettingBentWithBo]

How exactly do you swap the pots and pickups on this guitar? I don't see any access points for doing so.

[@garryoberholtzer5626]

@@GettingBentWithBo You have to essentially gut it. Very carefully tie everything to a string and pull the pots and such out of the f hole. The pickups you just screw out of course. After disconnecting them.

[@GettingBentWithBo]

@@garryoberholtzer5626 how were you able to do the soldering?

A semi-hollow single-cut Solar would be absolutely sick.

[@SLEEPYDEADBRAIN]

Solar doesn’t produce hollow body guitars

[@BazonBlades]

I have an Ibanez AGS83B semi-hollow that that I bought over 10 years ago, and it has hundreds of hours of chugs on it. It makes me smile.

[@babayagaslobbedaknobba]

I love the Ibanez Art Core series. I think they're really versatile.

[@PenguinzFTW]

Never thought I'd see Ola playing 99, on a hollow body Ibanez, in the wrong tuning😂

[@ASimon-zm6gd]

Very entertaining and good musician. Thank you for the test video.

[@GraveyardSurf]

My main guitar for years was an Artcore and it would shred just as good, if not better, than my Iceman at the time... 💀🤘🏻 It was a godsend for dorm life since you can play without an amp.

Dude u looked killer on stage in the haunted video cool stuff. You guys sounded great your band is sick you guys defiantly have that feel like everyone is just there to slay, very serious musicians. I have to admit when I saw you swapped your travel rig to the amp head I was like okay now were getting serious, he broke out the tube head. your other guitar players dover sounded really sick you guys were tight.

[@alexskibicki2262]

Awesome demo, ola. 😎🤘🏻🎸If you ask me.l, it definitely chug. Considering that it’s an Ibanez, it’s bound to chug. Plus Hollow body guitars has a surprisingly heavy sound with high-gained amps. My brother had a hollow body guitar and he tested with distortion and it sounded killer. We were surprised on how mean and heavy it sounded. Also that evh amp sounds awesome. I do like that amp and any peavey Amp like the 5150 and the 6505.

[@johnmclaughlin3217]

I've been playing my es335 for every style of music that exists. Keep beefy strings on it and even go down to d standard. A lot of heavy bands use pretty standard guitars, it's the amp that really makes the difference

[@HyugaMishina]

Im planning on buy Epiphone ES335, do it work well on metal? I mean neoclassical music, do your guitar, this video guitar and guitar im gonna buy work the same? Any factor like the pickup and tonewood affect it too, i just want keeping stock set up

The Ibanez Artcore semi-hollowbody range is very versatile, and can do any genre, from mellow jazz, to stinky blues, to chug, to clean chilled tones. I have a 2008 AS73T in Transparent Cherry, with tremolo. This matt black looks TERRIFIC for the heavy metal, and all things CHUG. Thanks for a great video.

fun fact: sapele is actually in the mahogany family. quite beautiful stuff.

[@dizgil6881]

theyve changed the wood over the years tho i think nowadays the neck is nyatoh but the body is called linder or something... the old ones were sapele with mahogany neck idk the fingerboard

I know this is an older post. I loved the sound when I tried the AS53 at my local guitar shop right down the street. I enjoyed the sound but I had a hard time getting comfortable with the neck. It felt cheap to me. But I’m also used to playing a strat. I have an Epiphone Les Paul too and it took a little getting used to but felt more solid compared to the Ibanez. I’m gonna do more research cuz I’m pretty new. That hollow body sound is good stuff.

No waaaay it's the same I have!! Can't believe it For me it was 270€ the blue one. Fell in love with it on the guitar store... I play it with an Orange Crush pro 120 and an overdrive.
