With Les Paul-esque looks and a reasonable price tag, the Ibanez Artist AR100 electric guitar is a great alternative choice for Les Paul seekers. The AR100 began its run either in the very late '70s or very early '80s -- either way, the earlier models are worth just a bit more than their modern successors. With a Les Paul style and sound, the Artist AR100 features 2 uncovered humbuckers, a sleek double-cutaway, and comes in four finishes.
