Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Well made and then some. Saw some Jackson "fan" criticize the wizard necks of Ibanez guits as FLIMSY. Duh, you gotta be kidding. The guitar has A TITANIUM REINFORCED neck. What do you want to do with it? Play fast or use the guitar as a sledge hammer. The wizard necks are unreal. Better than any other guitar necks around and this guitar is better overall than any of 5 strats I have. I only have one Jackson and the neck on that 2000 dollar "mistake" is like a woman with fat legs. Don't like it too much; plus the Jackson soloist is over priced, in my opinion. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Too early to tell, BUT I have an Ibanez S body from the 1990s and it has held up very well. AS well as my strats. General Your general opinion of this product. Definitely well made. Stays in tune nicely and I love the wizard neck. I play some very difficult versions of numerous scales that I "rollup" while tapping and the neck on this guitar makes the process faster and allows me to play some things I couldn't on other guitars. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Feels fine. I DON'T like the closeness of the volume knob. But have gotten use to it. My only knock on it. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? One can get plenty of variation. I tend to use top end Marshalls and the amp plays a bigger role in the tone, anyway. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Exceptional Action How was the action out of the box? Very good. I haven't had anyadjustments made. I like "it" low and it's fine the way it came.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? VERY WILL MAKE. SOLID AND GOOD LOOKING. Reliability How has it stood up over time? OWN IT ONE WEEK BUT IT WILL HOLD UP. General Your general opinion of this product. ONE OF THE BEST GUITARS I OWN Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? REALLY GOOD PLAYABILITY WITH THE IBANEZ THIN NECK IT'S A DREAM TO PLAY. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? YOU CAN REALLY CRANK IT UP WITH THE EMG PICKUPS. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? GRAT PAINT JOB. LOOKS GREAT IN BLACK. Action How was the action out of the box? ACTION WAS PERFECT RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Miyagi quality. Fine craftsmanship, built rock solid. Everything you expect from a Prestige - I doubt this guitar will ever let you down. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Had mine for 1yr and no issues at all - I think it's getting better! General Your general opinion of this product. Absolutely Brilliant! Masterfully crafted, infinitely playable and sounds amazing Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? For it's sleek style it still feels solid with a little bit of heft. Super Wizard neck w/ maple fretboard truly is magic - smooth, slick, extremely thin and built for speed. Slightly larger width feels amazingly comfortable in my larger hands. My only real criticism of an otherwise wonderful instrument: volume knob is poorly placed - a little too close to the edge of my hand but does make for easy access while playing. Controls and switch feel a little stiff but actually help avoid accidental setting changes. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Thick and crunchy but surprisingly warm and rounded as well - wide dynamic range. Tone Zone in the bridge is just hot enough for me but real high output fans might not be sastified. Air Norton in the neck position is deep and warm. The True Velvet in the middle adds brightness but is fairly quiet and creates a noticeable change in output volume when switching out of the bridge position. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Striking look and finish. Mine is Galaxy White with subtle gold flecks. Basswood, so be careful regarding "dings" - mine's 1 yr old and still looks like new Action How was the action out of the box? Great setup. Action is designed for speed. Mine could even be lowered but I like it right where it is. Trem system (edge-zero with ZPS3)takes a beating and never goes out of tune.
