Which Ibanez Artcore guitars are good for playing Jazz?

The entire Artcore range is a good place to find Jazz guitars but we would perhaps narrow the search down to the AF75, the AF75G and the AF71F to begin with , along with the George Benson models of course!

Are Ibanez Artcore guitars based on other famous designs?

All guitar designs owe a little somehting to the classics of the past but the Ibanez Artcore range is thought of as being a range of original design guitars. These are more traditionally designed instruments but they still bear signs of Ibanez's signature modernity and style.

Do semi acoustic Ibanez guitars sound like electric guitars or acoustic guitars?

Semi acoustic guitars have hollow areas within their body (normally signified by f-holes) but they are absolutely electric guitars - this hollowness is designed to affect the plugged in tone. Playing a semi acoustic guitar of any description, including Ibanez models, unplugged will not give you an acoustic guitar tone.
