I'm trying to upgrade my guitar without breaking the bank!
I've been looking at and comparing the Ibanez Artist guitars specifically the older model AR2619 and the spanking new "Prestige" model AR300RE. They appear to be identical guitars. I have found the late 70's/early 80's AR2619 for around $1,000.00 to $1,500.00 (depending on condition) and the new AR300RE goes for appx. $3,000.00.
Seems to be a no brainer to find an older vintage model in decent shape than to pay 2x as much for a new one.
Any thoughts?
