hello all, I was just able to snatch up one of the new Artist 305 Burled mahogany reissues off samash.com! Yesterday it said on order, today in stock , I ordered it and then the site said on order! I guess I got the only one? It will be here this Monday via fedex! Can't wait as they look cool. Tim |

Guildibanez~ Since you seem to be one of the first to jump on the new AR305's, please give a review and pics after it arrives.
It does look very cool.

Just got the AR305 - Really outstounding guitar!!! Made in Korea , at least not pushed to China yet. The Mahogany burl top is beautiful. Pretty heavy guitar with a great neck and flawless fretwork. I have to learn how to post pics on here for you to see this beauty. I want to change the tuners to Gotohs and these existing ones have no stabilizing screws on the back side. I wounder if it would hurt to just screw directly in when I change versus making little guide hole?? any thoughts?? Best regards, Tim |

Just for the record china production is not a bad thing in the case os the Artcore custom. My AS103 surpasses my Korean SZ720 in quality. Not by a whole lot but it has better frets and sounds better. |

Ibanez1960 - sorry I did not mean to crack on the Chinese Ibanezes. I have an Artcore Deluxe AS83 that is flawless and plays like a AS200.I have also had an AK85, AG85, AF105F and they were all great instruments! I just settled on the AS83 because of its thinness in body depth. I just meant that I am surprised Ibanez has not centralized all lines to China yet. Peace, Tim |
