excellent playability!
Quality:
every bit as good as an rg series and i prefer the fixed bridge
Sound:
tone is great i can sustain a harmonic for a minute
Reliability:
never had to do one bit of work to it i have a video on youtube of me playing it youtube.com/tfsongwritingco
Overall:
only thing cheap about this product is the price! the sharktooth inlays are awesome looking, 24 frets is great most of my guitars have 22, when i bought this they offered it in red has a genuine rg feel. you dont notice its a couple inches shorter
Playability and Feel:
fast playing, heavy distortion from pickups no background hum when not playing
Finish:
professional paint job looks hot when playing especially accented with shark tooth inlays
Action:
the neck is fast intonation is great you cannot tell this is a bargain guitar all the attributes of a thousand dollar ibanez(except floyd rose but i dont care for floating bridges i always block them and throw out my whammy bar)

The best beginner guitar
Quality:
This guitar is great I'm truly impressed with Ibanez good quality.If it were stolen I'd buy another fast.
Sound:
It's average for a beginner guitar in this price range.Hot pickups good crunch and very loud.
Reliability:
Good no problems with anything at all
Overall:
I love this guitar well made good quality.This is my first Ibanez and I'm sold I'll be getting more.I see why lots of people rave about them necks are awesome thin and flat as well as fast.Very comfortable neck.I also read lots of reviews and did my reasearch too.I played it a yr. ago before buying.I couldn't be happier.
Playability and Feel:
fast,flat neck and so comfortable to play.The fret ends arn't sharp at all and I got mine online.It's light but no toy.
Tone:
tone is kinda muddy but good great distorion and ok cleans.Pickups are good for stock and this is a loud guitar.
Finish:
Great no flaws or anything I got the white one.A sharp looking guitar,white is really nice.
Action:
Great all I did was put new strings on it 10's and it holds tune well.This is a playable guitar out of the box.You do need to change the strings first though.This guitar is so easy and fun to play.Neck is so comforable I'm an adult with amaller hands and this giutar it a godsend.I can finally play a guitar and love it.

Not a main guitar, but okay for travel
Quality:
The product seems to be pretty dependable. I'm not hard on my guitar, but I don't baby it either and it's still like new almost two years later.
Sound:
I can't seem to get a clear sound from it, everything is muddy sounded, the distortion especially
Reliability:
Nothing has broken on it, and it seems to be in good condtion still.
Overall:
Frets are pretty easy to reach, but the sound is pretty muddy out of a small amp.
Playability and Feel:
The neck is not as thin as I would like, but for a cheap guitar I suppose it is fast enough. The controls are easy to get to but sometimes they get in the way when strumming.
Tone:
The tone is definetely dark good for drop tunings and dark metal, but the tone is also muddy and hard to hear the pitch clearly.
Finish:
I got the blue one and it is a pretty guitar.
Action:
A little high, but had it lowered. I still get a lot of fret buzz though.
Skill Level:
Intermediate

A great first timer guitar!
Quality:
Ibanez made an excellent guitar here, proving not everything made in China is of poor quality.
Sound:
The sound of the guitar is solid, chunky when distorted and amplified. With different tonation settings, there's sure to be a nice sound for everyone! It gets out of tune rarely compared to other guitars I've picked up and played from my friends, and as my own guitar, I found this to be very important.
Reliability:
I haven't had it that long, but from what I have heard from others it's very good longtime.
Overall:
I bought this item in order to get a cheap yet reliable electric guitar. The name Ibanez had been floating around in my head for a while, their guitars being used by such giants as Steve Vai of Frank Zappa and Victor Borge of TNT. Therefore I was extremely comfortable with this brand. When I tried out the guitar, it played excellently and I couldn't resist trying out all the different pickup and tone settings...speaking of which...
Playability and Feel:
The guitar is very playable, but the last two frets are extremely hard to play
Finish:
The guitar is extremely good looking, very shiny and showy. The sharkteeth fret inlay looks very sharp.
Action:
The guitar has a bright tone even unamplified, and is mostly easy to play.
