I'm looking at getting a 6 string , maybe a Blacktop tele or the Ibanez AR220 ( gotta sell a Bass yet before I can buy anything ! ) I'd be grateful for any info , opinions , Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I've not seen any of these "in the flesh", but have been seriously considering either the 420 or 620. I've owned a couple of late 70's 2619's in the past (same specs), which were real LP Killers, fantastic guitars, and with the addition of the Tri-Sound switches, they add some really useful, and easily accessible sounds. The 2619's pre-dated the "AR" range (even though they were "Artist"), and the specs are slightly different, the "AR"s tend to have thicker bodies, more like those of the LP / Yamaha SG, where the 26** series had thinner bodies. Some of the previous reissues of their 70's/80's range guitars have been superb, so I wouldn't expect anything less from these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I like the White AR220s. I think I saw one in Colchester. I had a Sunburst Artist when I was in my 20s but I swapped it for a stinky poo acoustic (what was I thinking?). Regretted it ever since but there you are. I am not using electric guitars much at the moment and have an Epiphone 335 for the things I need one for but these white AR220s are pretty.
