Bart & guitars ?!

[Stiltzkin]

Bart,

If you were not sporting Jacksons, what other brand would
you be playing? and why ?

Isn't it about time Jackson gave you an endorsement deal ?

But they do I just don't make a big deal about it.

If I were to use other guitars I would go on merit on a per instrument basis - meaning listen to the tone of the instrument and make sure the quality of craftsmanship is on par with a professional instruments.
There are some local luthiers that make excellent instruments as well.

PS I probably wouldn't play an Ibanez

ah damn, I just checked the Jackson site, and you're right ...
after some scrolling I found your name on the artist roster
just wished there would be a little more info on your instruments

yeah I guess going custom would be the ultimate option for anyone really.
once you've found THAT instrument you won't play anything else

just thought it would be interesting with some brand name-dropping
guess Ibanez isn't an option then may i ask why ?

Not Ibanez because they are factory made with low tolerances so you can expect stability/intonation problems on even the most expensive ibanez guitars. Not to mention there is really no selection of wood for quality and tone etc...
I shouldn't really be bashing them, but I know people who had lots of problems with their Ibanez and were cursing the guitars constantly

so what are you looking for in a guitar? tonewise, woodwise and whatnot ?
