Hi All! Picked this up recently for a great price ($260), and gave it a fret level, crown and polish, conditioned the fretboard with Roche-Thomas Fingerboard Oil, installed Wilkinson tuners and a bone nut. It's all mahogany, the neck is more comfortable to me than the higher end Artist I sold previously, and I think the stock Artec pickups are great: 16k ceramic in the bridge, 8.4k ceramic in neck. Really like the Tri-Sound switching - gives you options of pickups in series, parallel or single coil.

Kewl!
BillWhen you've had budget guitars for a number of years, you may find that your old instrument is holding you back. A quality guitar can inspire you to write great songs, improve your understanding of the Gdim chord while in the Lydian Mode, cure the heartbreak of cystic acne--and help you find true love in the process.

Re: NGD: Ibanez Artist
That's a gorgeous guitar. Even at twice the price it sounds like a steal.
Man! Great purchase!
I'm not much of a ceramic fan and would personally do some mag swapping, but I certainly understand the love some players have for them.
Is that model full hollow or semi?Originally Posted by IanBallard
Rule of thumb... the more pot you have, the better your tone.

Re: NGD: Ibanez Artist
Thanks, guys! This one is a solid body - neck and body are both mahogany.
I really like the stock bridge pickup (it's one of my favorites), but I have an A3 I could put in the 8.4k ceramic neck - maybe make it sound more like an original Super 58?Heem6
