[@RickMcCargar]

Nice playing!

[@SilverParatrooper]

Great tone out of that Ibanez

[@forexslaci]

Perfect :)

[@jjzuc]

Those of us who own the Ikon Archer know the path to tone nirvana!

[@damianrjames]

awesome.

[@eddy200211]

What amp did you use?

[@dedarbec]

Can you tell what string gauge you are using on your magnificient Ibanez AS 153

[@djazzsomething]

Strings are Elixir nanoweb, 11. As for the guitar my main hollow body is now a Sadowsky semi hollow, www.sadowsky.com/sadowsky-instruments/archtops/semi-hollow/

@@djazzsomething May I ask why? I picked up a used AS153 at GC and am considering exchanging for something else (I still have a few days to decide.) Not sure why I am not in love with it (although hearing you play it makes me wonder). Since you are so good, though, I would heed your reasoning on why you switched brands. Maybe there is something to my discontent with the Ibanez....? Thank you in advance!

@@cathytaibbi1945 The AS153 was fine but there was a part of the tone that was bothering me sometimes while playing, I was able to avoid it on that video. I would recommend that you check the Sadowsky semi- hollow, kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqfHl62Gq8urhc0 it is the best semi hollow I have ever played. Killer tone and playability. The body size is also custom and extremely comfortable.

i can understand why the Sadowsky ($5000) wins in a landslide over the $1000 AS 153. It cannot be a fair comparison because the two guitars are in such a vastly different price and quality range. The Ibanez is very good for what it is, but comparing the Sadowsky to it is kind of like comparing a concert level violin to a student model. The Sadowsky costs even far more than a Gibson ES 335, which is certainly not cheap by any means. .

"slow"

[@aaronmajchen982]

Over reliant on one particular lick/pattern. You must've played it literally 15 times.

There's always a douchebag in the comment section.
