I remember looking at the Artcore range some years back and thinking the pricing was extremely competitive. In the current Artcore line-up, what are the entry level model numbers and how to they progress up the range?
In addition, what is todays Artcore equivalent to the AF105 NT from circa 2008 ?

Very good quality ... they run at about £400 new ... I paid around £200 each second hand. The necks are sublime but the pickups are ridiculous, cheap, Artec ceramic high output humbuckers: totally unsuited to the style of guitar.
The ivory one was fitted with one of my bucker sized P90s and a Sun-T-Ron ... which is like a Dynasonic in a bucker case. Really does the rockabilly now! The flash sparkly one is fitted with my Cow-T-Ron Filtertron types.
Either guitar would have suited low output PAFs too ... just those Artec piles of rubbish do the guitar no favors at all!

I'm having a moment of madness and suddenly feel an attraction towards an AF105. This is so wrong on many levels. I sold my entire guitar collection a few years back with the exception of one strat, plus I don't even like big bodied jazz guitars.
Perhaps I need to investigate and buy one

Watched a nice artcore sell on eBay last night. I contacted the seller as I was in their area all week and offered to pay cash and collect (no paypal or postage hassles). However, the seller didn't reply to my messages.
I was prepared to pay up to £480.00 and it sold for a little over £410. On the plus side, I have £500 spare and time to savour my search
Hmmmm, it appears it's been relisted with a £600 BIN.
I was looking at this :
