Yeah, The ART800 is pretty sweet for $750.

The Artist series is awesome... :lol:


Maybe the one I played was a lemon than, the fretwork was pretty bad, the board was dry as a desert, ect. However none the less I don't think a good ART420 would stack up to one of the the old ones (pre 1985), those were some outstanding instruments. If Ibanez were to put MIJ artists/musicians back into production today I would sell off as much gear as needed to afford one without thinking twice. :lol:

"I listen to other genres that involve more than just unnecessarily technical musicianship."

I am not a shred-solo-shred type guy. I prefer stuff like whitechapel to dream theater. :fawk:
Also, that horizon looks badass.

"Dream Theater are pretentious and write terrible music."

"I listen to Technical Death Metal for the songwriting."

"I wanted to write a song using only simple riffs, good songwriting is more important."

"I listen to other genres that involve more than just unnecessarily technical musicianship."

I'd say all of those are true for me. You sound like you are really getting down on technical music.

I enjoy technical music, but as more of an old school kind of guy it is easy for me to notice around here. I understand the 7 string crowd is more attracted to technicality, but most of the time it comes off as an unhealthy obsession and I would be lying if I said that didn't bother me to some degree :rant:

"Blackmachine? What's that?"

"Why does that have so many finish options? Just black is good enough for me!"

"I'm looking mainly at Devries and Emperion but I can't find much about the quality control with either of them, can anyone help?"

"Periphery suck ass, why aren't you listening to Design The Skyline?"

"John Petrucci? Not my thing... why does he need to play that fast anyway? It's just showing off."

"You want a six-string guitar with humbuckers? Don't bother with a used Ibanez RGA121 - I'd never recommend one of those."
