In 81, I bought a tobacco sunburst Ibanez Artist. It was my first left handed six string electric, and it played and sounded great. I had to sell it a year and a half later, and I've always regretted it. Over the last 15 years, I've searched for one, and each time I found one, it was really expensive, and I couldn't swing it. Well, I saw one last week at a good price, so I snagged it. The top is much more dazzling than it looks in the pic--lots of flame and not a laminate as far as I know. Made in Japan, it seems like a pretty good quality instrument to me. It plays well. It's less smooth than my Gibby Les Paul Trad and. sounds more like Jimmy Page's guitars on the (somewhat) live album, The Song Remains the Same. In other words, it's a fucking rocker.
