Hot, BUT...the cutaways aren't quite right and the headstock is just wrong. Yours is much more to my liking. I also like that it used to be offered with a vibrato...it's one of my big wants.

I agree. I have no idea why they didn't stick with the original headstock. Never the less I'm hyped to see its return. I also like the bound f-holes which mine doesn't have.

VERY nice! I played in jazz band in college in the 80s (valve trombone), and our jazz band's guitar player, played the original AM version. He got some happening tones out of that guitar. I wouldn't mind having another Artstar, like my old AS120 (since I've gotten over my hangup with Mickey Mouse ear cutaways) - that was a nice guitar.
