I have Gibson tastes, but an Ibanez budget.

Ha...I can relate to that.
When I picked up my Ibanez Tele Silver Series, I agonized (just a bit) over whether buying an Ibanez tele vs. Fender would be a hasty purchase I might regret.
(I
think it
was during the Fender lawsuit days but don't quote me on that)
But...the price was right, Fender was above my budget and I did need an electric as it was during my live band decade.
As it turned out, I'm quite happy with it.
I do wonder if it has maintained any real value today almost (4) decades later.
Oh....Gibson tends to be out of my budget too.

Back to it....
