NGD Scratch and dent Ibanez!! Artcore $50!
Stopped by the local GC, to check out their scratch and dent sale, wasn't really expecting much but they had some decent prices..epiphone acoustics for $35, a couple of Laguna electrics for the same and a gleaming white Ibanez Artcore w/ gold hardware for $49.95.....
It has a scratch near the controls, and a dent on the lower part of the tail piece but plays fine.

Yea it's pretty cool, most of the bargains I get go in to my market stall, but I'm thinking of keeping this and letting a " better" guitar go...

Click image for larger version Name: image-1159296943.jpg Views: 114 Size: 54.7 KB ID: 124712

I fixed the tail piece..I have a feeling that it was a warranty return, ( the plastic was still on the pg and tr cover)the tail piece is out ot of place and the strings are not quite aligned with the pole pieces( the pix is pre fix)
It looks like some one tried to muscle it into alignment and cracked it...I put a bit of Jb weld on it and reinforced it with a washer..seems ok, sounds good .
Must have been in the back for a while, it's REAAAAAAAALY white under the bigsby, I sort of prefere the mellowed look, it would have been blinding when new.

A White/Gold Artcore for $50 is an absolute steal. Congrats! I've got a Black and Redburst AF75 which I believe is the same thing. I pulled the ACH 1 and 2 for a set of Tonerider Rocksongs. It plays and sounds gorgeous; was a real bargain at $350. $50? I'm jealous!

$50???!1!!

Would it be petty to wish that the whole de-laminates instaneusly?

You'd still have more than $50 worth of parts

I desperately wanted to go to that sale, but circumstances conspired against me. Congratulations!
