Epiphone VS Ibanez

[Soni]

As some may know I'm in love with the 335 shape, and there are two guitars that look and sound great, wich one should I get, the epiphone dot or the Ibanez artcore??

Tough to compare those two particular guitars. That Ibanez has a much smaller body than the Epi (or any ES-style guitar), and it's not quite as rounded. As far as quality, there are good Epis out there but IMO Ibanez is more consistently good.

I've said this before. I have known two different guys that owned Artcores and they loved them.

Had a dot. They are good guitars but plan on spending some money right away to get it set up properly. The neck was way to fat for me and the tuners really needed to be replaced. The thing just wouldn't stay in tune for me.

 

Ibanez is a good company. I would go for the Ibanez.
