Members uglykid Posted October 2, 2017 Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 I known that this may be silly question since I compare between two of different kind. but I just decide to buy Ibanez AF75TDG-IV Artcore after my wife she allowed my budget for 1,000 us (right now,I play just for hobby and occasion jam with jazz band gig sometime jam with rock band ) .when I searching for my jazz guitarto replace my steinberger gt. I fall in love with Ibanez AF75TDG-IV Artcore but When I've seen Gibson Les Paul Faded price It made me hard to decide.I used to think that my wife will kill me if I buy les paul (my steinberger buy before we married) but with this LP USA made I can buy with 790 us.So anyone have any idea for my problem?

Members Etienne Rambert Posted October 2, 2017 Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 I have a Faded T. I love it. I was shopping for a Mexican Jazzmaster or a Korean Guild Starfire. I saw the prices for US-made LP's and bought one instead. And I'm glad I did. It's a superb instrument. And it was $200 cheaper than the importedcompetition I was considering. It will retain its value better than the Ibanez too. You will LOVE the neck.The 490 R & T pickups will do a good job on Jazz. And the playability is likely much better than the Ibanez. The Fadeds are PLEK'd guitars. Here is Sweetwater's pic of the one I bought--followed by Gibson's picof the guitar at the final inspection station. I never cared about Les Pauls. Never wanted one. But at the price - I took a chance for a US-made guitar. Even my local repair guy said it was set-up and playable out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted October 2, 2017 Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 I'd go with what you "fell in love" with unless you play an LP and fall in love with that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chordite Posted October 2, 2017 Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 The Artcore I tried was a very nice guitar definitely not 'second place' to a Gibson . However I will always recommend playing the individual guitar you are going to buy because no matter how tight the production process every guitar is a little bit different and up at that price level it matters because it is a 'commitment' not just a purchase, it's gotta feel right because trading a 'wrong un' is probably going to have a three figure overhead.

Members DeepEnd Posted October 2, 2017 Members Share Posted October 2, 2017 I'd go with what you "fell in love" with unless you play an LP and fall in love with that too. ^ This would be my advice as well. Either guitar might serve you well but the Ibanez is a known commodity. If you've played it and it felt and sounded right, it's the one you should buy.
