I have a '99 Heritage H-575 and a 2010 Gibson ES-175. I play my 2016 Korean D'Angelico Deluxe SS more than either of those. It sounds absolutely fantastic and is far more comfortable to play. It's...
It's dated May 2018. Indonesian. I read Ibanez changed the neck from mahogany 'for 2019'. I'm not sure what I have but the neck wood is pretty light coloured. It's mint. Next job is new strings and...
