Morgan Monroe Time Worn      vs       Ibanez Artwood

1/9/2018

Both guitars feature:
  • Solid spruce tops
  • Mahogany back, sides and neck
  • Bone nut and saddle
  • “Open Pore” distressed finishes
  • One slight variation is that the Time Worn has a walnut finger board and bridge where the Artwood has rosewood Finger board and bridge. 
​
5 ways the Time Worn trumps the Artwood

#1 The Time Worn has a street price of $479.95 where as the Artwood comes in at $499.99
 
#2 The Time Worn features name brand Grover Tuning Keys, while the Artwood offers “off the shelf” tuners.
 
#3 The Time worn offers a Lifetime Limited Warranty  vs  the 2 year warranty on the Artwood.
 
#4 The Time Worn comes with a deluxe heavy padded monogrammed gig bag with built in neck rest and the Artwood comes with no case or Bag.

Deluxe Case With Humidifier
#5 The Time Worn comes standard with a refillable guitar humidifier to protect the guitar while the Artwood does not.
 
Both of the guitars are excellent choices as people tend to pick instruments as much with their eyes as their ears. I would encourage you to play both and see what sounds best to you. You really can’t go wrong at these price points however; if you pick the Morgan Monroe you are getting a much bigger bang for your buck!

I have not played the Artwood yet but I did get a chance to play one of the Time Worns at a local store and it sounded great and I loved the neck.
