Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Overall amazing guitar, only one i would ever need (but not want ofcoarse) Reliability How has it stood up over time? Just got it, but it seems very well made and will last forever. General Your general opinion of this product. Amazing guitar, set up great right outta the box. Feels great, very fast neck and crazy good tone. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? A comfortable guitar played standing up or sitting down. The next is extremely fast and the controls are in a good place, but i prefer the pickup switch a little closer to the pickups. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Has a very heavy chunky and bright sound great for metal, such as Metallica or rock such as AC/DC Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Got the white model and the finish is stunning, but the painted on trim looks a little cheap while at the same time giving it some character. Action How was the action out of the box? Comfortable and fast

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Again, this guitar was assembled well. The frets were all nicely dressed and level, the neck comfortable and fast. All of the parts are solid, including the tuning keys. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I haven't owned this guitar but for a month or so, but it's a well-built instrument. If you take care of it and don't beat it up it will last forever. General Your general opinion of this product. Made in Indonesia, but the build quality is excellent. I have played many Gibsons that weren't built this well. The guitar is very heavy, as in pre-chambered Les Paul heavy. I haven't weighed it, but I would guess it's about 12 pounds. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? As I mentioned before, this guitar is very heavy. It's pretty well-balanced. The controls are in just the right spot, the neck felt a little chunky for an Ibanez, but very comfortable. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? This guitar's sound reminds me of my Les Paul in a lot of ways, which is unusual for an Ibanez (at least the ones I own and have played). It has a thick meaty tone on the bridge pickup and a nice, warm sound on the neck. Both are very articulate. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Paint job is good quality. I've heard that these guitars just had painted-on binding, but the one I have appears to actually have binding. All in all a very high quality instrument (especially an Indonesian-made one). Action How was the action out of the box? I play with heavy strings, so I had to set it up when I got it. The Gibraltar bridge is a nice touch.
