I purchased an Ibanez AF95 VLS through a great local dealer, Musicians Den. I now have the setup the way I want it and want to try to post some details in case this could help any others interested in an Ibanez Artcore. I have gained alot of good information on this forum and hope this gives a little back. I am new to posting and will figure this out as I go. Some Background. Over 42 years with guitar and 100's of setup done over the years through affiliations with local stores back before moving to current location. Worship band is my primary focus, and a good clean tone with some flexibility to modify the tone through processing is important to me. I plug into a PA as stage monitors through a Digitech RP500 as a multi-pedal processor. Flatpick, fingerstyle and hybrid playing methods for both rhythm and lead fills.
