History:
Purchase: Bought online, after playing a few at local store for $290.
What I Like About This Unit: Very nice bright sound. Sounds like guitars costing much more.
What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez AW100: The sides and back look like layered laminated wood, which, is ok since the sides and back are actually layered and laminated.
AW100 Quality: Very high quality construction. The Solid spruce top has some minor cosmetic defects, but the sound overcomes any blemish in the wood. In fact a very high grade Engelmen spruce top (no cosmetic defects) and high quality tunners cost more than this guitar. My guess is that all AW100 have cosmetic defects in the top.
Summary: This Ibanez guitar is actually made by a Korean company that makes many inexpensive guitars for many different brands. It is the Hyundai of korean guitars (not a bad thing). What I liked about the Ibanez branded version was the sound quality of the Englmen spruce top and higher quality tunners (grover). For the price, this gets a 5 out of 5.
