Having played for years since 1975, I have played my share of Gibson Les Paul's and SG's over the years. Frankly, I have never owned a Gibson that stayed in tune well, even after great work done by guitar folks that no what they are doing. The Ibanez Artist was introduced in the 70's and I had my eye on one going back to its introduction in that era after talking to folks that raved about its tone and quality. Funds being what they were back in the day, I never purchased one. Take it to today, I get talking to my guitar luthier who is one of the best and he raves about this model. Forget that it seems inexpensive or made in China (my biggest concern). Ibanez is doing insane quality control with this model. OK, what did I get. Incredible tone (nails every Les Paul sound, plus some). Beautiful looks and the darn thing stays in tune period! End of story. Pros and semi-pros know value when they play it. Forget the price point and buy this model. My only negative is that you need a good strap (similar to bass players faves) as the balance tends to be slightly top heavy. This is fixed by a good guitar strap.Read full review
