BE CAREFUL WITH THE ARTWOOD IBANEZ (AW100CENT).

i had mine for 2 months in a humidified house and it poped out a huge bulge near the sadle rasing the strings 1/4 of an inch off the fret board. reason was green wood used by ibanez to try and save money.
Please help me...there are worshipers on my ass and chest.

Without a doubt in my mind I would pick an Alvarez. I have a Pro. Series 6 string that I stand by over my Martin that includes feel and tone. I also have a 12 string Alvarez that sounds phenom. Both were under $400.
