Getting a quality tone using the fractal audio axe fx 2.

So I was looking through some guitars for sale around my area and I happened upon what I was finally able to discover as an Ibanez Concord E 684-12. From what I've researched, it's an early to mid 70's model that was before the lawsuit. Just curious if anyone has had a chance to play one of these, or what sort of value it may have. I haven't had much luck finding a price associated with the 12 string, acoustic-electric model, but the guy is currently selling it for around $100. Thinking I may end up trying to get it from him.

I know a guy who wants to sell one of the reissued orange ones to me for $300. They retail for $450-500. Made in Mexico.

They look really cool to me and sound good, single-coil and all.

Are they really that different than the Mustang? Anyone have one?

Any thoughts?

Just saw this: http://enmoreaudio.com/fender-have-built-a-small-batch-of-esquires-made-from-the-bench-seats-of-the-hollywood-bowl/

What does everyone reckon? They look pretty cool, but jesus 12 grand! I'd prefer a vintage Strat or Tele for that price

I searched the subreddit and most of the discussions are over 100 days old so I wanted to ask about this after more technology updates. I'm seriously debating the two and would just like to hear the pros and cons from people who have experience with them. As of now it seems that Axe8 has better tones and the Helix is way easier to use but I am extremely uneducated on these units outside of YouTube reviews. Any help would be great, thanks.
