Ibanez ART100 as good as the reviews?
I tried one out the other day in my local store and was quite impressed. The I looked at the price (300 bucks) and wondered what I was missing.
All the reviews I've found for this thing say the same thing... AMAZING guitar for the money.
Most of my guitars have been Ibanez guitars, but I'm not really a brand guy. I play a pretty wide range of music, and this guitar's ability to adapt well, sound-wise, also impressed me.
I was looking for a less-than 1K$ guitar, but wasn't expecting a 300-dollar, mass-produced guitar to wow me like this.
Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something here, or did Ibanez really overshoot the value on this mass-job? Just looking for other opinions, as sometimes, my initial enthusiasm can steer me wrong.

And yes, I'm buying local, not online.
PS: Incredibly sweet, 24.75 neck.

It's Ibanez's Les Paul copy. Closest guitar to compare it to would be the Epiphone Les Paul at $500. Both are mahogany bodies, set neck, 24,7 scale, tune-o-matic type bridges. The Ibanez only has one tone knob. Main difference is the pick-ups. Epiphone uses the alnico magnet type, the Epi has their stock pickups that can sound a little thinner. But trust your own ears. I've heard that a lot of people are buying the Ibanez and then putting in Duncan's or EMGs. The other difference is that Epiphones have the life-time Gibson guarantee. The Ibanez is made in China, the Epi in Korea.
