This guitars really great, the set in neck and fast action is really good, and it sounds fantastic for the price. Really worth it. I like it more than most other guitar I've ever played.

This is only my 2nd guitar and i think that this is all ill ever need.to me it whoops les pauls.and for the price you cant go wrong.the neck is really smooth and is fairly light weight.i play anything from praise and worship to metal and it covers both worlds.if you are reading this review you need to get this guitar-cody

I've been playing lead guitar for over 45 years. Buying a guitar for me is like buying underwear. If it doesn't fit right, it is a waste of money. I've always thought Gibson LP, and the strat was the only guitar that delivered until now. For me to write a five star review on this guitar is not something I would bother to do even if the guitar was satisfactory to me. If you want a really well made guitar, with great tone, looks, and playability, this is it. I won't pay the price Gibson and Fender are offering, and to be quite honest, they aren't delivering for what you pay. I was leary about Ibanez, but wow... am I impressed. A blast to play, real eye candy on stage, and a real buy for the price. Took it out of the box, and it played like it had been set up just for me. Kudo's to the Chinese! They are making a hell of a guitar for Ibanez. I love this thing.

Im a true believer in making what you have, usually not thousands of dollars, work best for you. Its perfect for the price. I play clubs and it does just fine and I didn't have to bust the bank. I play through a MARSHALL MG100 half stack with a RP 500. Depending on the care and strings you use, it becomes a real powerhouse of tone and integrity for a beginner or someone who makes money playing. She quickly became on of my family of instruments and will be staying for a long while.

A quality guitar for cheap? What a novel idea. Ibanez did a great job making this guitar with a very honest price tag. First, the features are nice, with a beautiful deep red maple top, and nice diamond inlays. The pickups are very nice sounding (I play out of a Fender Super Champ tube/modeling hybrid) and the neck pickup is very deep and smooth, and the bridge pickup is twangy with a nice bite. It is kind of harsh on recordings, and if I was to replace one of them (which I probably won't) it would be the bridge pickup. It stays in tune relatively well, and even though I have a tendency to bump the tuners, I only have to tune it once a week. The only problem I have is the A string, from maybe C to E, buzzes when picked hard. I haven't adjusted the action, but I'm sure that there is minimal fret buzz on most guitars (if not, take it to a shop.) This guitar can give out sweet and smooth bluesy tones or hard edged and crunchy riffs, and I would recommend it to anyone looking at a guitar in the $350-550 range.
