zZounds Gear Experts Say...
The Ibanez ART320 Artist has great looks and great sound. With set-neck construction and a Gibraltar III bridge, the ART320 Artist is a real player's guitar.

Marking a total re-approach for the Artist Series, the ART320 features set-neck construction, superior hardware and warm tones and sustain courtesy of the mahogany body. The ART320 also features a rosewood fingerboard, Gibraltar III bridge with Quik Change tailpiece and 2 active pickups (Neck: LoZ1-N and Bridge: LoZ1-B). Cosmic Black hardware, a diamond inlay and a striking finish add even more to this impressive guitar.

Features

- Double cutaway Artist body with updated curves and style
- A stunning flamed maple top with powerful double humbucking tones
- Mahogany body with set-in neck provides warm tones and sustain
- Gibraltar III Bridge augments the ART320's strong sustain
- Quik Change tailpiece provides stability and easy changes
- LoZ active pickups handle anything from traditional tones to metal mayhem

Sound
This guitar sounds great! It's got Ibanez's own active pickups. I compared it to my ESP with EMG's and they sound very similar, not exactly the same but similar. raising the pickups closer to the strings helps make it sound closer to the EMG's
Features
For the price, you cannot get a better guitar if you like the Les Paul style. I own an ESP EC500 and it's very comparable. I paid $650 for the ESP and this was $450. The finish is beautiful, the pickups are comparable and the set in neck is an awesome feature for the price!
Ease of Use
Playable right out of the box. It was even in tune :)
Quality
I inspected every inch of this guitar and it's in perfect shape. It's very solid and looks like it will last for years.
Value
I give this guitar a 10 for value. You will not find a better quality guitar in this price range.
