Guitar Artcore AK85

Just went into GC to check out some jazz boxes. My plan was to get a feel for what's out there and what I might like in different price ranges, figuring maybe I'd buy something sometime. With no intention of spending any money, I walked out the door with an Ibanez AK85 for $250. It felt like a deal worth taking. Any opinions on this guitar, sound, value, etc?

That sounds like a great buy!
Congrats. You might want to upgrade the ACH1 pickups at some point but
I think the Artcore line is a pretty good value.

Sweet axe! In China, don't they build the AK47 on the same assembly line? Anyway, I don't see how you could go wrong at that price!

Yeah, I heard they use rejected gun barrels for the truss rods.
