Thumbs up Ibanez ARX320

Product:
Ibanez ARX320-2010

Price:
$255 used, included strap and one set of strings

Experience:
Have been playing for 5-6 years. I play any kind of worship music, but have really developed a love for the "Coldplay" sound and the Top Boost sound. I use this guitar with a Spider III 75 at home, but with a Fender DeVille 212, Turbo TS, and Korg Toneworks at youth group.

Features:
Two Ibanez ACH-1 Artcore ceramic buckers. Two volume and master tone pots. Mahogany body and neck, maple top, rosewood fingerboard, diamond inlays, a cross between a PRS and a LP. No mods have been made as far as I can see.

Sound:
I always try to attain either a Marshall sound or an OD Vox sound. Does it do it? I think so. This guitar can really exceed at any driven setting, but is not so hot on the cleans (save U2's One and Shelter). The sustain is incredible and sounds great. The pups, compared to an Epi LP Custom, are hotter and more chunky.

Playability:
It's lighter than a Strat. The contour on the body really helps. The neck is really smooth. Action is great.

Reliability:
It's very reliable. I have never contacted customer service at Ibanez.

Other:
Best look on any guitar I have ever seen! Beautiful quilted top with cream binding.

Overall:
If you play country, go get a TELE! This is for rock only. It's a solid guitar that I would recommend to anyone who wants an awesome LP but doesn't want the Gib price tag.
