I think it's a hollow body filled with a partial center block !
or…
Can we consider a "full" hollow as a completely filled in body, in other words, a "solid" body ?
Ok, sorry !

It's a hollow guitar with a small block or a post under the bridge ... I suspect Sweetwater and Thomann both just post something random they've received from Ibanez .. I mean .. FFS Ibanez
But wanna have a go at the AM90H given the new info or is the partial centerblock or whatever we call it still a deal breaker?

I’ll go for a used AM93ME I love the ebony, but at the right price. Once the Artcore line hits the used market the prices usually go low. Not really a problem As I got my AF95FM list 1000, new selling price 670, for 450.

Only problem is if you want something niche then it can be hard to find on the used market. But I'm in a small country, so we don't get a lot of choice
(Which is the only reason I have an Ibanez PM100 and not a Gibson ES175 .. Tho gotta say the PM100 is such a joy, so not like I'm complaining)Last edited by Lobomov; 01-21-2021 at 12:43 PM.

But it currently sits at almost twice the price of a used pm120, so the there is that too .. but I don't know how often you see a pm120 for sale tho?

very tempting...

It's usually the one I reach for as it is comfortable as hell .. But never liked the 3 knob controls and find that while it sounds fine .. It is kinda bland. Some day I'll change the pups and maybe make someone install a 4th knob?

Seriously. Lindy Fralin Modern PAF on my PM200.

I bought the AM2000H last week. The guitar is stunning.

As to the weight, a dealer told me it's 6lb 1.5oz! Very attractive! But, a super tiny lower bout - 13 7/8"! Also, factory strings are 13'!

Is a violin with a tone post a semi-hollow?

I am going to go back to the silent 58 sometime soon, just to go back to the beginning and see what’s what.
