Went to my local GC to try and find The Real Book (I did), but I also found the Ibanez Artcore AF71F that I actually wanted to get, but settled on the AF55 because I didn't want to wait.
Luckily I was still within the 30 day return policy so I returned the AF55 and paid about $60 more. The floating pickup is really nice and gives the body a loud projection, although it does look like finding replacements are tricky, so that is kind of a let down. Still it was the guitar I wanted and it looks and plays absolutely beautifully.
