    Default HNGD Ibanez ART100 TCR

    Lovely little guitar (Ibanez ART 100) with a big sound. It's all passive, unlike the ART 300s that I have that have active pickups. That means I can plop any old humbucker in to this puppy and wail away. Truth is, it sounds great just as it is and it plays heavenly.

    Mahogany body with tummy bevel, and mahogany set neck, which is on the chunky side, and low easy action. Scale length is 24.75. Tuners work really well and tuning doesn't drift. I noticed the same on my ART300s. Very stable. Body is thinner than your standard LP so it's a bit lighter. I think I'm going to change the tone cap, but otherwise it is staying stock.

    These are sweet rock and roll guitars and can cover a lot of sonic territory. Lots of sounds available from sweet and bluesy to warm and jazzy to full on bark. If you are patient and look around you can probably find a good deal on one. Mine was about the price of dinner for 3 with drinks at Red Lobster and it's like new.

    Very tasty Ibanez! It is amazing what you can find at such a low price.
    The next time I eat out, I'll be thinking, "I coulda' bought a guitar instead of this!".

    Love that clean neck! I saw that GC has the ART300 for $250 and was very tempted. But I like this one better - doesn't have that textured body and does have passive pickups.

    Nice score!

    They sound surprisingly alike. However, for just flat out rock and roll ability the ART300 has a huge edge with those active pickups and the scalloped top finish is really nice. I prefer the black over the brown finish under the lights. $250 IS A STEAL!..for the ART300.

    This finish lets you see the wood grain.

    Thanks for the GAS! I just ordered a blem GD. The only thing that bothers me are the pickup rings. Easy fix.

    Sweet deal, Spudman!
    Looks like it will do the LP thing quite nicely. Thinner and lighter is a good thing also.

    A guy I work with just bought one of those. Seems to be a great guitar for the price. I saw one on the local CL today, in fact.

    Oh ya baby! What a great axe to rock out on. In some ways I'd really like to have a thinner neck but every time I play it it doesn't seem to be a hindrance at all. It's just me wanting something a tad different, no slight against the guitar. In some ways I think it has more going for it than the more expensive ART300. IT's a sweetie for sure.

    I'd love to see yours after it arrives.

    I just played my friend's ART 100. Not bad at all. Much lighter than any of my LPs, too.
