| Subject: | I love Ibanez , but this is the worst guitar I have ever owned!!!! |
| Quality:
| I have had this for a month and the only reason I still have this guitar is because I lost the box to ship it back |
| Reliability:
| From Day 1.....nothing but disappointments ..cant set intonation, My old $100 squire with cheap single coils can smoke the pickups, and that isnt saying much for the Squire.... |
| Overall:
| I owned a Jem 555 and it was awesome....Now my opinion of Ibanez is shattered |
| Playability and Feel:
| neck feels awful...next |
| Tone:
| there is no tone at all...I have tried everything possible not wanting to believe this would sound this bad...different amps, different effect, no effects, dfferent headphones for my Recorder....It is inevitable ....Ibanez blew it on this one |
| Finish:
| finish is beautiful...... |
| Action:
| my grandmother could have done a better job setting this up |

| Subject: | Best Overall Value! |
| Quality:
| Seems bulletproof, very solid, no loose screws, no stress marks visible. |
| Sound:
| Sounds nice, needed a good tune out of the box but can give you crunch and acoustics, just depends on your amp. |
| Reliability:
| Haven't had it too long, fine so far |
| Overall:
| Great Product for its price point, great finish, very lightweight, nice curves, thin body. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Neck is good, not too thin, not too thick.
Very light compared to a similarly shaped Gibson, Epiphone, or ESP. |
| Tone:
| Dark and smooth, pickups are all around average, put in some duncans or EMGs and it will outplay guitars 3x as expensive. |
| Finish:
| Beautiful finish, flawless. |
| Action:
| A bit high out of the box for my liking, but that simply adjusted to whatever suits your needs. |

| Intermediate |

| Subject: | Perfect for the beginner who wants to step it up a notch |
| Quality:
| I would consider this guitar well worth the money. A perfect upgrade for a beginner who doesn't have a lot of extra cash to spend and a perfect extra guitar for a seasoned player to have in his or her collection. |
| Sound:
| Nice tone. Great Sustain. Sounds very nice clean or with various types of distortion and effects. |
| Reliability:
| I haven't had this guitar long enough to comment other than I wouldn't hesitate to preform with it. |
| Overall:
| For $300 dollars, you can't go wrong. Remember, though it looks similar to a Les Paul, it is NOT a Les Paul. Do not measure this guitar up to one. It is lighter and thinner front to back than a Les Paul and plays like a strat-styled guitar from Ibanez. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Neck feels nice to hands that fit medium-large sized gloves. It plays like a strat neck, feels fast with easy accessibility to the higher frets on the bottom three strings. |
| Tone:
| The stock pickups weren't bad a all...not Dimarzio quality but still nice and quiet when not being played. I found enough of a difference between the neck and bridge pickups to get some interesting tones with different guitar effects. |
| Finish:
| The Transparent cherry is great. Looks really nice and evenly finished throughout. I like the spartan simplicity of the inlays. Nothing fancy, just straight lines and no inlays on the neck except at the twelfth fret. |
| Action:
| The action out of the box wasn't bad. I lowered it a little to my preference, but it's perfectly payable out of the box. Anyone who's been playing long enough knows a new guitar that has been shipped overseas will need a least a little adjustment. Remember its a $300 dollar guitar, not a $1,000+ guitar. |
