| Overall:
| This is my third Ibanez, and the best one so far. This guitar even passes my Steve Vai model in playability and overall sound output. For electric guitars, Ibanez is my second choice only behind BC Rich. |
| Playability and Feel:
| I can fly up and down the fretboard with no resistance. |
| Tone:
| I would say bright with some dark undertones. This guitar can kick out 80's heavy metal tones quite well. |
| Finish:
| The paint job / color scheme and design are beautiful. |

| Quality:
| I've owned this model for 2 years. The first one I got from AMS came with a split neck. When I called they immediately sent out a replacement. Thanks AMS for taking care of your customers. |
| Sound:
| The tone is nice. It's build for metal music. I would prefer the pickups to be hotter but you get what you pay for. |
| Reliability:
| The guitar stands up well over time. It will last for several years of gigs. |
| Overall:
| This guitar is a nice way to start off in the world of hard rock. If you've been playing for any length of time I would suggest you look at something with a little better quality. |
| Playability and Feel:
| I felt that the Wizard II neck was a bit wide for my preference. It is very thin which helps when you're reaching for certain licks but can be a bit annoying when your chording. |
| Tone:
| The tone is bright and the pickups are a bit thin. If you're gonna be using this guitar for any length of time I would suggest switching out the pickups. |
| Finish:
| The finish is very nice. I love the contrast the pickguard has with the body. |
| Action:
| The action is fast but again it's build for metal music. I wouldn't suggest using it for any country gigs. |
| Skill Level:
| Beginner |

| Quality:
| Mine looks and plays sweet all around. However, I've seen others at different stores where the binding along the fretboard (both sides) looks scratched/dinged/dirty and the fret wires are either protruding slightly or recessed slightly. |
| Reliability:
| Hasn't let me down yet. |
| Overall:
| The only thing I nocited is that there is a "crack" or "click" sound every once in a while from mine that I think comes from the neck - almost like a stress relief movement of wood rubbing wood or the pickguard, but it hasn't affected playability. This may it is a year old since I bought it from AMS. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Action is greeat with just a little buzz here and there; balance is nice. |
| Tone:
| Sounds great to me whatever I'm playing. |
| Finish:
| The White & Black with the peralized pick guard is awesome. |
| Action:
| Low enough for me. |
