Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Very well built! The neck feels like butter no sharp fret edges awesome feel in my hands.. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Have only had it for two days, but, its a Ibanez! For sure to last a very long time.. General Your general opinion of this product. Out of the box, which was very well packed, the finish was mind blowing! the web pic's doesn't do it justice.... Within a few minutes of tuning and minor action adjustments was up and runnin' then 3 hrs later, after my wireless battery died, I removed the strings and fully cleaned and polished it and let it set out over night..... when I picked it up the next day it was like Christmas all over again!!!! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Very well thought out. Everything is where it's suposed to be. The neck, VERY impressed! No more heavy than my 570.. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Just a bit muddy on the low B but with a turn of the screws on the pickups cleaned the sound up! A little brighter than the EVO's in my 570 but well rounded... Finish How did the stain or paint job look? AWESOME!!!! A little dirty from shipping...I mean it crossed an ocean and then half way across the country.. Action How was the action out of the box? As I said before, just a few turns on the bridge and a half a turn on the truss rod and it was set to play.
