Hey Fellows, whats rockin?

I wanna know what you think of this guitar, the ART500 DVS from IBANEZ.

Right now i'm searching for a new guitar, 'cause I wanna have one you can call your "Baby". The guitar thats really rocking the crap out of your mind and you kinda get feelings for it

I played the IBANEZ ART500 for a short time in a music store, where they sold it, but only for a short period cause it was a used guitar. A friend of mine saw it showed it to me and I was like "That sounds just sweet and I love the design!" (The Inlays are Insane). I never had the chance to play that guitar again after that day and one of the employees told me they don't sell that guitar anymore or should I say never even had it in their repertoire? But after a little research and praising words he checked the Internet, he saw the guitar and told me "wow K thats really a beautiful guitar."

Well this is the Baby I am talking about.

So Rockafellows whats your opinion? Did you play It? Can you tell me something about its sound? Maybe I overreacted and its just some poor show off guitar trying to get someone buying it.

I'd have it - just because it bears my name

it looks a much better proposition than an RG for the same money.

Come one Guys don't tell me no one of you have ever seen or played this guitar. There has to be someone.

i have played this guitar a couple times...almost bought it too, but single cuts arent my thing

it plays well, the pick ups are ok, not my favorite of the ibanez line....but they work. this thing has great sustrain and playability which is the most important...the body is textured and feels really cool....its def an eye please so id go for this one if i were you!

Well, that's the coolest Ibanez I've ever seen
I'm not the biggest Ibanez fan, but that seems nice..

I'd rather go for a ESP Eclipse II though, but then again it's probably a more expensive guitar..
So for the price it's probably great
