I haven't the slightest clue who this guy is, but looking up more info on the ARX series brought this ad up and uh, it looks sweet AF.
Also once again, Ibanez can suck a fat one for not making the Darkstone 7 a thing.
(i know the Darkstone sold like shit, but come on. )

It was apparently built in the US custom shop when it was still in Pennsylvania apparently, before it relocated to LA.
The pink one was sold by him for charity purposes, and he said that was a US made by Ibanez he also made videos when was selling it.

Gosh, the man's taste in guitars is so choice. Good beard, too.
His 7-string is actually one of the reasons I got into guitar, because I realized guitars could look that cool. Probably the only black guitar I've ever really liked the aesthetic of.

Yeah, I didn’t even see the Darkstone until after they were done being produced. I really dig that shape and if they’ve got the Gibraltar III bridge on them…..that’s such a killer fucking bridge. Not a big fan of the headstock but I’d love to get my hands on one.

Darkstones are great. Agreed it's a shame they didn't last long, and there were some gaudy versions being marketed to the xhardcorex crowd, but they're sweet instruments. They're a weird combo of Icemans and old Musicians that ends up looking different to either. The flat top is definitely of the Iceman heritage more than the SZs or Artist models. Personally I find the headstock suits the shape.
I've got one with BKP True Grits, and I love it. It just oozes riffs out of you.
Not a LACS btw, but whatevs.

Apparently they used a bridge and tailpiece specially introduced for the Darkstone. The Tight Tune. It looks like a slightly tweaked Gibraltar 2. I do agree I wish it was the G3, because I have one on my recently-acquired SZ520 and it's super comfy to rest your hand on.

Is that Buz from Unearth's Saber in the middle? I love how clean the single hum Saber looks, I'm so used to HSH with the 5 way switch.
