Welcome, I'm just down the road in Avondale. Have you heard of B&D guitar repair on the North side? They do great set ups and other work. Best in town.

Welcome to MLP!

What's that double-cut you've got on the stand behind you? an LP?

Nice! I've got a couple of old Ibanez Artists that very closely resemble that guitar - minus the trem system.

Yes, I love the old Ibanez Artist guitars! I had many back in the day! I traded a 76 les paul custom (in 76) for the artist, I got the better end of the bargain

Here they are....



They're both 1980 vintage - the Burst has been mine since '95, and I got the Tobacco back in August.

They're sort of the opposite ends of the Artist line for that year. The Tobacco is the AR-100BS, the stripped down version, while the Burst is an AR-5000CS with factory installed active preamp/EQ.

Love 'em both.

Are those stealth pickups in that Custom, Boles? Or 'double-invisibles?'
