For most of us, Ibanez pretty much began almost 30 years ago, when Hoshino opened an office near Philadelphia, PA for more efficiently distributing Ibanez guitars to the United States. By the mid-80´s with the interest in instrumental rock guitar on the rise, Ibanez collaborated with players such as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert and brought out the JEM, JS, RG and S models. Today, present day versions such as these models still considered the standard in hard rock and instrumental rock guitars. As well known for its jazz guitars as it is for rock, Ibanez has an impressive line of jazz guitars including the George Benson models, two Pat Metheny models, and most recently, the new John Scofield signature semi-acoustic. The Artcore line brings seriously high quality at a very affordable price-these intruments are unbelieveable! One final note...Ibanez is also one of the top selling bass companies in the world (in many places the top selling bass). Ibanez first drew attention in the 70´s and 80´s with its neck-thru Musician basses with active electronics. Today, Ibanez offers the huge number of 4, 5, and 6 basses in the Soundgear as well as the basses of the future, the luthite-bodied Ergodynes.

A Jackson guitar is meant to be played, and played hard. Each Jackson player chooses Jackson because they know Jackson builds instruments just how they want them. These instruments are built to handle hard lives on the road, and are ready to take whatever players will throw at them -- that's the just the way it is, and we at Jackson won't have it any other way

"Every inch of your PRS Guitar is based on over ten years of testing, rethinking, and reinventing. We're not stopping here. Our shop pushes the curve beyond what others would consider perfection. With experts to make sure the technology is unsurpassed, and dedicated craftsmen who guarantee a finished product you can't keep your hands off of, we make no compromises. That's the PRS story. The moral...believe in your dreams." - Paul Reed Smith, 1992

"We spend countless hours listening, testing, and playing our instruments (we really do this--and we like it). The process begins with the creation of the most precise and comfortable bodies and necks possible. We accomplish this by choosing only the finest and most beautiful woods from select lumber mills. Our design and manufacturing process utilizes the best of both old and new world craftsmanship. Ground breaking computer-aided technology is used to achieve the most exacting tolerances found in the guitar industry, while the fine-detail woodwork and beautiful finish-sanding are done by the hands of a master. To best compliment and allow you to further fine tune the sound of your Anderson guitar, we offer many models of pickups. They are all designed and wound in our own pickup shop for optimum tone. And you could also call the excellence of our internal wiring "a work of art". A guitar this refined and this functional can't just show up to the gig without something decent to wear. Well, take a look. Our gorgeous paint jobs are done using a revolutionary new ultra violet light-curing process that was pioneered here. It allows the instruments full tonal potential to be uninhibited while setting a new level of beauty for our guitars. The final process is the coming together of all these precision parts in just the right way to enable each and every Anderson guitar to achieve its maximum playability and sound. This process produces a wonderful instrument with lush, rich tones that looks beautiful and "plays like butter". What does this all mean? It means a guitar of unparalleled quality, and no matter which model of Anderson you choose, you are getting that same level of excellence. Our models vary only in their look, wood choice and sonic character. We offer this variety so you can choose an instrument that will bring out your personal best tone." -www.andersonguitars.com
