So I was looking for a cheap alternative to a 335. I picked up a transparent cherry Ibanez AS-73 last November for $240 from a local GC (with the aid of a 20% off coupon).
What an incredible guitar!!! I have refrained till now from posting about it just in case the bloom wore off the rose. But it hasn't. Since I've had this my other guitars have become very lonely.
I haven't changed a thing on it, but I can get every sound I want with this and a DRRI.
All my other guitars cost a lot more than this one. But this is the one I pick up. As I said before, just plain incredible!!
