I just got a new RGA-121 & an AR300 & the Korean AR300 is absolutely blowing me away. Like many, I've owned Les Pauls, SGs, & Explorers but this AR300 has made me as giddy as a 3 year old at Christmas. I considered the new PV HP Signature EXP, the Ibanez AR300 & a Les Paul Studio. I grew up playing Gibson so that's where I leaned, but the AR300 blew it away. I let an AR700 go a few years ago & regretted it, so I've wanted another AR since then. I tried Hamer & Gibson, too, at the same store. Nothing sounded as good or played as well as this AR300 in honey sunburst. One of the most important things to me was *that* Gibson sound in the neck position. The Hamers (US models) didn't do anything for me. The Gibsons just didn't seem worth the $$$ they were asking so I had to go with the axe seemed to put it all together....& that was the AR300. For shred, the RGA-121 (in Vintage Violin) is a great breath of fresh air but this AR300 is too flippin hard to put down!   Scottop1972 Username: Scottop1972 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Sunday, June 12, 2005 - 6:43 pm:    i agree i love my ar 300 in brown sunburst. the tone is phenomenol. the looks are gorgeous and i just love the feel and sustain. great guitar great price. its a keeper. best of luck to you and your new guitars...   Holmis63 Username: Holmis63 Registered: 03-2006 Posted on Saturday, May 06, 2006 - 4:57 pm:    Oh, mine is a ī04 sherry sunburst and pays like a dream. But i canīt get ridd of that dizzel and dazzel from the frets when playing open chords. And the action is a bit higher than on my ī77 bob weir professional 2680 that doesīnt dizzel and dazzel. But for the money itīs the best you can get in my opinion. Holmis63
