    The whole scene, the music, the guitar, the sofas, the piles of CDs, the framed drawings looks all so 80s/90s it brings me memories of my childhood and a warm feeling. What great times that was actually to grow up in.

    I saw the Steve Miller Band in Murfreesboro, TN in 1978. This is the only electric guitar Steve played the entire show (he only put it down to do his acoustic numbers). As popular as he was, he could have certainly played any brand he wanted, but he chose this Ibanez. That spoke volumes to me, at least.

    Thank you for getting right to the sounds of the guitar! I just came here after watching a video where the guy held the guitar and talked for 9 minutes and did not play it. No talking guitar videos are the best.

    Yes Artist guitars are great sounding pieces of gear. I own myself a Ibanez ARX 500 with 2 super 58 pu's and a quilted maple top. Great tone, superb playability, outstanding craftmanship. A look that makes you cry.... The guitar is from 2006 or 2007 ? My local guitar shop had one, laying around for several years in this shop. No one bought it, except me, for a real sharp price ... ;-))

    • @StopMoColorado
      @StopMoColorado 6 лет назад

      Ditto. Said goodbye to my Gibsons and have never regretted it, LOVE my '83 AR-325, sounds almost exactly like this one (mine is a little more mellow, but I also prefer old, but not corroded, strings on mine; I always wipe my strings off after playing, live in a dry climate, hardly ever see string corrosion, but change them when they won't intonate properly anymore, not how I like my other guitars, actually, including my PRS, which seems to need newer strings to have punch and sparkle). The current Japanese ones look and feel like my '83, but every example I've played sounds a little different, though clearly in the same Tonal Family. Love the pickups and their flexibility, too. Flawless necks and fretboards on every example I've played, too, even the Korean ones (just gave one to my oldest son for Christmas, felt very much like my vintage one, under my fingers and pick). They just sing.

    • @FraJa1980

  • @RN1805
    @RN1805 8 лет назад +10

    These guitars are regularly available on e-bay and you should be able to score one for around 1500USD depending on condition. Be sure to read up on the specifications of the model for the year in question because some of the characteristics changed over time - for example the Super 58 pickups are as close to PAFs as you can get and the Super 80s are a little brighter. The model played her by Greg clearly has Super58s.As a holy grail alternative to the 300, look at its predecessor which was the 2619 Artist - costs a bit more but the pickups in 1978-79 models are to die for. I also own 1950 and 1960s Gibsons and Fenders and these Ibanez models stand up well against all of them, plus the added tonal versatility of the trisound switches on the pickups (parallel, series, or single coil for each pickup). Lots of information on these instruments at Ibanez Collectors World, and catalogs can be found at www.ibanez.com/anniversary/index.html

    • @tower_studios_dave
      @tower_studios_dave 7 лет назад

      I have an Artist which according to the serial number is May 1980. I bought it used in '83. It's been gigged hard, and it's my only electric guitar (I'm mainly a singer and acoustic guitarist), but it still looks, plays and sounds incredible. The pickups have no cover on them. You wouldn't happen to know what pickups they are would you? Cheers!

    • @RN1805
      @RN1805 7 лет назад +1

      Dave, If production was May 1980, then in all likelihood they are super 58s and you are an extremely luck person!
      The 1980 catalogue is here, and you can see more complete specs

      @tower_studios_dave 7 лет назад +1

      RN1805 sans Thank you so much for the reply Ray! The catalogues that you put in the link are absolutely terrific, and I've just joined the forum. Judging by the catalogue, the pickups are V2's and the guitar is an AR100BS. Maybe not the super 58's but it's still an incredible guitar. Last night, I plugged it into a Blackstar Artisan 30 belonging to one of my customers at my studio here in England, and the power and tone was awesome, even with dead strings. Many thanks again for the info. Take it easy mate

    • @Fede6680
      @Fede6680 7 лет назад +1

      Hi RN1805 sans, I just purchased an AR300, the series number is H806397, this mean it was crafted in 1980? In the catalogues of 1980 the AR300 seems to not bring flamed maple, but yes in 1981, it is a little confusing. Can you help me clarifing if there were 1980 with flamed maple? My guitar did not bring the Super58, brought a SD JB-59 set, I will try the Gibson 498T-490R first and the SD Seth Lover... if I am not pretty sure with any of them... SD Antiquity. Thanks body!

    • @RN1805
      @RN1805 7 лет назад +3

      Frederico
      The serial number indicates it was made in june (6th month) of 1980.
      The 1980 catalogues indicate "curly maple" as opposed to "flamed maple" (in 1981 catalogues).
      I'm not aware of any flamed maple 1980 models, but many Ibanez models of the 1970s and 1980s included parts or materials that weren't always consistent with catalogue information.
      If you want to get the most out of the AR300, then make sure that any pickups which you install have enough wires (4?) to allow you to use the trisound switches for full humbucking, out of phase humbucking and single coil sounds
      I suggest you join the ibanez collectors world forum (ICW) and post any detailed questions there. Many very knowlegeable people are regularly on the site and can give you support and advice - particularly in the area of connecting pickups to obtain full trisound options (not easy)

    • @daw162
      @daw162 4 года назад +1

      It's a much better day to day player than a les paul if you ever get up the neck. Far more stable guitars ,too. Mine's 37 years old and still pin straight without any tension on the truss rod (I've had a lot of les pauls - perhaps 12. Some of them were decent, but none was quite on par with the artist . The new artists aren't on par, either, so it's not a surprise - there's always a golden era for builders, and these are from the golden era for the set necks for ibanez, and I guess the 80s and 90s are their g.e. for the bolt on floyd guitars.
      AR300s and 305s come up fairly often for $1000 or so. There are a lot more listings for a lot more money than that, but few sell for a high price. When I got mine last year (in a bidding war against someone), it was $1150 and I got the privilege of being the highest price paid for a long while on ebay. Sort of a dunce cap, but easily $1150 of guitar compared to anything available from gibson for that price.

    In response to Frank Cruz, yes I noticed the pickups were a bit weak in the reissue compared to an Epiphone that I also auditioned. I saw one of the vintage one's in a store and yes it was considerably heaveir. It was pretty overpriced though.

      @StopMoColorado 6 лет назад +1

      Suman Chhetri - That's the equivalent, apparently, contemporary version. I've got an AR-325 ('83) that sounds very much like this one, has the Super 58's. I was contemplating swapping them out (more out of curiosity than dissatisfaction), but was talked of it by a well known guitarist whom I respect, who has a muted love for these guitars (he plays and records them often but doesn't talk about them, I knew another band member, got to shadow him during a sound check in Boulder eleven years ago, asked him years worth of accumulated questions, he was very generous with his time and experience). I put mine away for two years, went through several other guitars, looking for a sound that seemed increasingly elusive. Then I pulled it back out of its case, and discovered that it had been they're the whole time, I'd just begun to take it for granted. Love the neck and fretboard, too. Can be punchy or laid back, the pickup options are great to have, even the more neutral sounding split humbuckers work well in certain contexts (you won't confuse them for a Strat or Tele, they almost sound like an active pickup, very articulate, very little hum at all, sounds a lot like the guitar does when you play it unamplified). Awesome jazz tones, great sustain, can get very "vocal" sounding, does a great Woman Tone of its own, even. Mine's got some wear on it, but you can't see it unless you're up close, looks amazing under stage lighting, they got these sunbursts and tobacco bursts RIGHT, not to heavy-handed and hokey like the most of the Gibson's I've seen. I sold my two Les Pauls after I got my 325 (had both a 1-series and a 250 before getting this particular example, sold those, too, after finding a particularly toneful specimen), won't ever sell this guitar!
