Ibanez AR300 - Funky Blues - Matt Thorpe - Seymour Duncan Custom SH5

This is played on my 2006 Ibanez AR300 BS. The guitar pickups have been modified with a Seymour Duncan SH-5 Custom in the bridge and an Irongear Rolling Mill in the neck position. The ABR type bridge was also replaced with the wider Nashville bridge this somehow improved the tone of the guitar and stopped some annoying rattles and buzzes from the ABR’s loose bridge saddles. These guitars are cheap but have mahagony bodies and maple cap. The neck is fast and very playable having a flatter radius than a Les paul. The frets are nicely finished. The guitars are Korean and made by Cort for Ibanez according to the serial number. The guitar is playing through a Line6 PODxt recorded directly to the video’s audio soundtrack.
