The new AM93 has caught my GAS-focused eye. The small body size is exactly what I'd like in a semi-hollow.

Go for it man! I have a Maton BB1200 which is basically a semi hollow in the size of a Les Paul and it's amazing. I have really grown to love the feel of a semi/hollow body electric. There's that whole acoustic sound and vibration going on as you play that doesn't happen with a solid body.

GAS only at this point. No money for gear. Mrs. Tig bought a couch and 2 chairs, plus her knee surgery.
Women just don't understand important priorities sometimes! :nope

With a bum knee she won't be able to chase you around if you walk through the door with it :running

'Kind of reminds me a little of both a 339 and my Johnny A. I bet it's nice

FINE looking guitar! I perused pix and specs on Ibanez and other websites, and it looks like quite a lot for $550. I can understand the GAS.

The Ibanez pu's in this model are excellent. I have them in my AS and for a while had considered swapping them out, but never could justify changing a pickup that really is excellent.

Nice looking guitar!

GAS worthy, for sure! I wonder how much something like that would run, price wise.

Nice to see Ibanez reviving the smaller semi. The old AM50s and the like are getting really expensive. What with this and the forthcoming Epiphone ES339 models things are really looking up for us vertically challenged semi fans :AOK

Here's my favorite vertically challenged semi-player, Chris Cain. If this doesn't get you fired up for the cool sounds of a semi, nothing will.

Thanks for introducing me to such a great blueman. What a passionate player. I really love that song. I like the jazzy runs he put in the solos.

Thanks for the clip. I think I'm starting to understand what semi-hollows bring to the table in terms of tone.
