Yeah "fuck Ibanez get a Gibson"...You probably don't have to think alot before saying something THAT stupid, really! I mean why get a fantastic guitar and save LOTS of money when you can spend sh*t loads of money for a Gibson?
@bluesboydude Older (and some newer)Tokai ,Greco ,Edvards and Ibanez LP's are/were way better than Gibsons, at a fraction of a price.These are fantastic guitars.
Gibsons are way overpriced. So is the bullshit about bolt on necks.
@JimmyPage968 not exactly - Ibanez were primarily aiming at the US and European markets. They had the guitars made by FujiGen Gakki. Ibanez left the Japanese market to another company (Kanda Shokai? I forget), which marketed virtually the same guitars made by Fuji Gen Gakki under the Greco name.
That;s why Gibson commenced a lawsuit against Ibanez (who changed their headstock design to comply) whereas Greco and all the other Japanese builders still make Gibson-style headstocks to this day.
man im surprised,i was planning to get an epiphone les paul,but there arent any in our country so i got an art500,which is better?art500 ir ibanez les pauls
Bolt necks are NOT bad. So, you can hear the difference between this and a thru-neck, right? Bull. At least you can change it if it breaks. Strats and PSRs use bolt necks and many more I could mention. Only Gibson promote the notion that thru-neck is sonically better. They really are not though.
actually they arnt youre right. its craftmans ship. which it looked up apon. but if my neck snaped i would like to replace it rather then buying anoyther 3k lp.
@TheExoticMuffinsPet Sustain is not solely a neck connection thing. There are nut, wood type ,type of strings, tension, bridge, tailpeace ... I found that bolt is no inferior to set necks. I think it's marketing bullshit.
Nothing wrong with a good bolt-on. Ever thought of all the brands and models that do have a bolt-on? I own both, bolt-on and set neks, and I like em both. My bolt-on les pauls '76 and '78 sound and play better than most recent set neck Gibsons. they even sound better when I think of the price I paid for it ;-)
@Sufferd666 Absolutely right. There is a ridiculous snobbery about bolt-on neck les paul type guitars. The advantage of bolt-necks is that as the guitar get older, you can easily maintain the neck joint. You can drastically improve any bolt-on neck guitar by cleaning and sanding the contact surfaces for maximum contact (and therefore resonance transfer) between body and neck.
For example, Godin have only just started making a set-neck guitar.

Is it true that if a guitar has no strings on it for a while its bad for the tension rod?

epiphone is better coz its owned by gibson and this has a bolt on neck, unlike epiphone so you dont get as much sustain
