Ibanez ART100 Guitar Review

[caarankin69]

wow its a very nice guitar

[TheVoidedPresence]

If I hear G going into D when people post vids of their guitars.

[sparkielopiez]

how much was it? like 300 or 400?

[strawsparky33]

@sparkielopiez 299 i think

[lvrpatriot01]

i want this guitar in cherry

[themitch393]

sweet Jesus that bridge-bucker is bright! seems great, reminds me of a PRS single cut except like $300 cheaper. just upgrade pick-ups and i'm sure id' be great

[bamboy3224]

I have had this guitar for three months now and it's great. The action can be easily adjusted through the bridge of the guitar and the sound is very good indeed. It's sells for a base price of about $300 in America. And it is well worth the money. Im highly knowledged in guitars such as this one and many others. If you have any questions pertaining to this guitar or any others please be free to contact me through YouTube where you can further receive my email address for further questions.

[Dragnsht]

great review, just one question, what chord progression did you keep playing? i really liked it, it even sounded familiar, but i can't put my finger on it.

[DJDhananjayK]

@Dragnsht  it was a G D then Cadd9

[BarcaBarca1992]

@kenisinoregon

 metal

[khalid006mizyed]

hey man, great video..jist one question for u..

how is the action on that guitar?..

and are u having any problems with the G string??

thnx

[darkerseabass]

Thanks for being thorough, demonstrating many of the different possible tones.

[kenisinoregon]

i am playing to buy this guitar and i was wondering what genre it would be good for

[H00L3y]

I HAVE ONE!! <3 im so getting the 12th fret indicator tattooed

[falloutshelter95]

thanx guys

[jimluthra]

Looks like Les paul,. nice

[falloutshelter95]

i c it has no dos on the freds but does it have any in the upper part of the neck if u know wat i mean pls reply

[JoelCharron1991]

yes it has them

[TexasWay93]

@falloutshelter95

yah

[wisslaxishard77]

@falloutshelter95 yea, it does on the upper part

[movienoc101]

Nice, no bolt-on neck, so that means you don't loose any sustain! Nice guitar man! i might get one

[Superfission]

Well, that makes it easier to compare the different settings. It eliminates the unnecessary variables.

[JoelCharron1991]

thats what i want the les paul alpine white like matt uses from trivium but its expensive... so ill get this instead

[Headbanger433]

Good review but SERIOUSLY I WAS REALLY SICK OF THE CLEAN STRUMMING BY ABOUT 6:30

[ArtWithRob]

what kind of distortion are you using it sounds really good?

[TheEternalTriumphant]

If you stand up and take your left hand off the neck, does the headstock slide toward the ground?

[pacrat90]

no not as far as i remember

[TheEternalTriumphant]

I just bought the ART2EX1 and you're right, it's NOT top heavy. Just what I was looking for.

[ahm0774]

mines black it was £265 im just a beginner and its awsome! ive dropped it a few times but it isnt broken or damaged its not even scratched so its got good "material" lool its awsome

[RandYboiZ]

is it heavy?

[LZZL9]

No, i bought it a month ago and it is very light

[ze1mps]

awesome guitar ! ;D

[spurdle1494]

i have the same chords poster

[Chilesk8ter]

Beautiful, and Awesome, and cheap!! :D!

i still prefer my Strat metal edition but still!

[jmka4l]

ok either ur listening to Miranda That Ghost by the Mars Volta in the background or ur in Puerto Rico cuz i swear i heard some coquis when it was dark lol

but n e way thanks for the review man im trying to find a new guitar thats at a good price

[kattboys]

im getting same guitar its sick

[djken97]

can you play post hardcore and alt rock with ibanez's??

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

yes, i play chiodos, alesana, devil wears prada. im changing the stock pickups to DiMarzio D Activator X.

[MrZimmyjimmy]

you can play anything with anything, its your fingers that do the work.

[ke69lm]

@MrZimmyjimmy Not really. every guitar has a different sound, a different sustain. And I don't just mean between different models. no two guitars are exactly the same, even if it is the same brand and model.

[economicdisorder]

@ke69lm good point some/ most ibanez guitars are made for shred & metal only & anything else with it will sound crappy

[bvried]

does the guitar stay easily in tune?

[kylemotes123]

yes

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

yes.

[CrazyJay537]

You forgot to tell us about the inlays on the neck of the guitar, not the fretboard.

[leapphrog44]

how are these guitars for speed?

[RaymondakaDjRAB]

they are pretty good

[olba12]

dude i totally have that guitar too :D

[ContaminatedTwinkieS]

can you put a floyd rose on this?

[person3213]

i brought mine to a guitar builder to find out. its possible, but it would cost about $400+ to do so

[RaymondakaDjRAB]

nope

[timj41]

Hi there, nice guitar, can you tell me please where they are made?

[croesus1987]

china. best value set neck guitar around IMO.

[slanepuppy]

definitely up there with the best, that is if you can stand the neck profile.

[ItrolledYou]

@ContaminatedTwinkieS Yes u can but u need to do alot of Carving and wiring

[Adnamira]

I would have thought a shred guitar would have a flatter fretboard.This guitar has a 12 inch radius board making more suitable for chord playing than the flatter RG models, but probably faster for lead riffs than the 9 inch radius found on some Fender guitars. The pickups on these ART guitars seemed aimed at the heavily distorted side though.

[person3213]

yeah, these guitars are very good for heavy rhythm playing. if you raise the bridge pickup up so that its just under the strings without buzzing, it sounds alot like a distorion pickup when you try to play on a clean channel

[RaymondakaDjRAB]

not really. these guitars have a great clean sound. it's not distorted at all.

[person3213]

as i said, you have to raise the pickup just under the strings. try it out, you'll see what i mean.

[brederoo]

i have an ART100 silver i hate him i want a fender!

[Giao1]

fail

[brederoo]

fuck you

[Giao1]

humm

u should stop bitching on youtube and get a job to buy a fender.

don't u think?

[brederoo]

i have a job.

im not ''bitching''

i have the money for a Fender

so

FUCK YOU

[shadow2200]

eigh em...........FAIL!

[ChadA23]

I like the tone about halfway and the middle pickup position. Almost acoustic sounding.

[GamerPointBOOST]

i have this guitar in like a sparkly, ITS AMAZING!

WORTH THE BUY 200%! :)

[ToyMachinebruce]

i'm thinking about gettin this guitar in cherry and throwin some duncans in it..

[julianking93]

I'm savin up for this guitar now. I played it at Guitar Center and it fuckin kicks ass. I love Ibanez. I already own a black Jet King and it's so much better (in my opinion) than a lot of guitars out there. Hell even my dad, who is an active musician, prefers it over his Fender Telecaster Plus!

[iRock613]

are there inlays on the side of the neck?

[ChadA23]

yes

[TheJester304]

What kind of amp are you using here?

I have an ART100 with the silver metalflake finish. Mine is much warmer and has much more bass to it. Mine isn't trebly at all. I just assume that it's the difference is amps. Good guitar though. Cheers!

[ChadA23]

Yeah it's prob just his set up.

[elementskater94]

im not to much of the les paul style guitar but this guitar is fukin sick, and best thing about it -its made by ibanez!!!

this guitar will destroy gibsons and epiphone les pauls

[Promisetime]

I like you're enthusiasm, but, even though this guitar is one of the best bangs for you're buck i've ever had, it is still not very comparable to a gibson les paul standard. Sorry

[kevNchris445]

its great guitar but the humbuckers when u buy it isnt the best soo i kinda wanna replace mine with some better ones. other than that this guitar Freaking rocks

[jefect]

i have this guitar but mine is black it rocks you can play just about anything on it from b.b king to black sabbath this guitar is worth it get it

[kevNchris445]

mine is black too :P

[Sanctify17]

is it a mahogany fretboard,cuz it kinda looked ebony

[boomheadshot1994]

i think I'm gonna get a ARTB 100-WH bass. Looks good btw

[KEWB99]

i got one of these myself for my first guitar. it's just that affordable, and it's really great for it's price range. i mostly play metal, but it's versatile enough that you can play pretty much anything with it.

[nfgsum41]

is it fairly light?

[Z32spdstr]

i dont have this guitar but im going to get 1 soon but i know ibanez guitars verywell i have an ibanez custom gax70which i did myself and its awsome and the body is solid so i can just image what this guitar has got to offer so when it comes to light weight and very friendly user ibanez is the way to go so i agree with lankuseksoloartist

[TedNugeForPres]

Do they have inlays on the side of the neck

[RaymondakaDjRAB]

yes

[icarmine]

Do you live in Puerto rico, because this looks exactly like my cousins room

[lucaci1]

man... i haven't heard the chord progression G-D-C-G that many times before XD

[RaymondakaDjRAB]

i wanted 2 show the differences between the sounds, so I used the same progression.

[oneday555889]

is there side fret inlays (sp?) on the guitar?

[KEWB99]

yep

[snupcho]

Dude is this guitar heavy in terms of weight? Is it heavier than a usual strat body guitar? I know weight varies due to the wood-type used, but in general, do you think this is approximately a heavier guitar? Thanks.

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

its as slim as a gibson sg, and as light, i can throw the damn thing in the air, and catch it, its not heavy like a les paul, but still has beefy rock tones. get it man.

[JackMouth88]

les pauls are 10 times better

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

no, there not. I peronally hate HATE HATE~~~ gibson. there over prcied, and for a "DreadNought" body guiar, you have to pay 2000 dollars, while for Ibanez you pay 175 dollars for a steel string,spruce top, mahongany fret board, and sides/back. IBANEZ is my favorite brand. my OPINON. Ibanez guitars + KUSTOM amps = MY FAV.

[JackMouth88]

ok mister smarty pants, gibsons and marshals are the best. kustoms and ibanez are the worst

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

oh my god. do spam somewhere else. dtop spamming on the kustom defender amp video, and stop harassing me, and stalking me on every video i comment on, really, ill call the damn, cops, i dont give shi**

[JackMouth88]

dude im not harrassing you im getting my opinion out there just like your getting yours out wow

[Z32spdstr]

im there with u man i have a custom ibanez gax70 double cutaway guitar with all black hardware from the bridge and tail peice to the schaller tuners with zak wylde emg pick ups i am definetly thinking of getting this thing for my next guitar perhaps customize it too but i totally agree with u cheers man

[IanKusekSoloArtist]

hah, thanks man, at least SOME people RESPECT IBANEZ. u rock. add me as ur freind

[RaymondakaDjRAB]

no man! its not heavy at all!!! its as thin as a strat but a bi heavier but lighter than an LP.

[andrewtheterrible]

man thats an awesome guitar its frkn sweet kick ass mother fuc***
