Members tjsutton Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Just wanting some opinions, as I live in BFE... I'm wanting a Gibson Les Paul, but the GAS has hit me before I've saved enough... Reading reviews on the Ibanez ART series, and most reviews are almost too good to believe... Is this guitar really that smokin'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 I noodled around on some of the models going for about $400 here and there at stores. Didn't really "vibe" off them. For the price point I would choose something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members peavey_impact Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 I've jammed on this model several times and it is definitely one of the nicer import guitars I've played: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hyperkookeez Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 can't say I've been too impressed with the fit and finish on the art/arc/arx guitars and the pickups are god awful even for a entry level guitar, but they are solid guitars for the price. actually, my $300 arc100 gets more play time than the rest of my guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Axegrinder009 Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I have one I bought new for $350.00 with the Koa topper. Very beautiful guitar and it plays like butter. It has a HUGE amount of sustain, maybe too much sustain, but it came with a great set-up out of the box. Very playable and looks nice. It's also thin, but not flimsy in any way. Excellent hardware and tuning machines. Having said that, there are probably Agile models and Xavier models that are as good for about the same dough, so there is a lot to choose from.
