Product Review I goylt this pack back in 2014 and out of the box it was playable action was set right out of the box.Tuners are good it stays in tune.I played it for 2 hours.No sharp frets ect.it does have a truss rod.I like the little pouch it comes with that has the tuner,picks and too my surprise an extra saddle for the bridge.I play this guitar a lot when I'm not playing my Ibanez electric. It's a beautiful guitar nothing wrong with it at all.Go buy one I'm glad I did.

Product Review You will need to invest in a good gig bag and strap other than that you might want to consider having it restrung before you play a whole lot

The guitar was fine.

Product Review The guitar was fine. Fast ship, just like they promised. After a few days, I saw something on the AM website I liked better. Three emails letter, I had everything I needed to return the Ibanez. The next day I ordered an Epiphone. The very DAY I returned the Ibanez, the Epiphone showed up on my doorstep. By the way, I ordered it at a $40 discount for a supposed "blemish." No blemish that I can see. Beautiful guitar. Perfect upgrade for me. American Musical will be my go-to website for all things guitar.

Product Review This Jam pack was the best Christmas gift EVER. I purchased it for my boyfriend who is a musician. He owns 2 bass quitars and a drum set so I wanted to give him something else to master. This guitar helps him with his song writing and he LOVES it! I’m so glad I found this website & this guitar. The ordering and shipping process was very easy and it arrived shortly after I ordered it. Great quality sound too! Well worth the money! I recommend this to ANYONE looking for an acoustic guitar!!

Product Review I give this guitar a five star for being a very nice guitar for the price. It sounds nearly as good as my $1000 Gibson. I just wanted something cheap for throwing in the trunk and taking camping. Fully worth the money paid. Also great beginner guitar.

Product Review You CANNOT get a better guitar for the price. Perfect sound, beautiful wood finish, everything about it is perfect. I've compared this guitar with some on my friends higher priced acoustics, and they cannot believe how much of a better tune mine puts out. AND BEST OF ALL, IT CAME IN IN ONLY 3 DAYS!!!!!!

Your general opinion of this product. After much research and trying this guitar out in the store,I decided to buy this guitar to replace my Glen Burton GA101 acoustic I got off ebay for 50.00 bucks.This is an exellent guitar all around for anyone beginner to pro.I am an adult player for four yrs. on and off as a hobby. I opened the box and found a pristine guitar with no blemishes ect. Nice comfortable neck on the slim side for an acoustic.It is so easy to play and fun too I played for four hrs. with no issues or my wrist hurting fatigue ect. Tone is good nice and mellow and smooth loud and clear also don't need a mic for it when playing small gigs. Great it was low just the way I like it.All I did was tune and play out of the box. Perfect nothing wrong or messed up at all Beautiful finish.I accidently left it in the trunk of my car and thought it was ruined but thanks to the taminate top it was fine and the neck wasn't warpped ect. I have had this guitar for a yr. taken it to friends homes,the park ect.It is still like new I take good care of my gear.

So far so good. My daughter is learning to play, and it seems to be pretty well made. Not had it for a long time yet... Very light, feels nice. Change the strings, and you have a very nice, light sounding guitar, with clean highs, and decent lows. Very nice. Better than I had expected for the money! A little high, but not bad at all.

Built excellent and has been very dependable. Have had this guitar for over a year and even though I own others I keep going back to it. Can't beat it. Your general opinion of this product. Great guitar. Needed to set the action and eventually put new strings on, but all in all this guitar is great. Beautiful, few noticeable flaws. Sounds like a guitar three times more expensive. The feel is a bit chunky and the fretboard takes a bit to get used to. The frets could stand to be filed down a bit along with the nut and bridge. Finish is nice...real clean. Action was a bit high.

Don't forget, get your guitar setup by a pro. I went to my local shop today and got it checked out and had new light action strings put on. The sound is bright with fullness as you would expect. Your general opinion of this product. I am quite satisfied. Feels good to me. I like the sound after changing the strings out. A few blemishes. Adequate

Very well made for the price. It will last a long time if we take care of it. Just bought it, but seems to be well made. Your general opinion of this product. Great guitar for the money. The neck is smooth with no sharp edges sticking out. The fretboard will hold up nicely. Deep lows and brilliant highs. Great tonal range even with stock strings. Great

Mostly well-made. Quite dependable, holds its tune very well. Item seems to be holding up very well. I take great care of it, but I don't foresee any problems Your general opinion of this product. This guitar is an amazing value for a beginner or someone not wanting to spend a few hundred bucks. Guitar feels solid, not too light but enough to where you feel like it's not a $99 guitar. Definitely a bright sounding acoustic. Not too deep sounding, but most of what I play doesn't benefit from a dark, heavy sound, so that works perfectly. Fine, nothing amazing, just a natural finish. Action was a tad sloppy, but not nearly as bad as I would expect (or have experienced) from a sub-$200 guitar.

perfect for someone who wants to test the waters of guitar playing before diving into the deep end of playability... over time, you will know if guitar playing is your thing...then you will buy a better guitar... Your general opinion of this product. great for beginners wanting to get the feel of a guitar before getting horrifically involved in the potential high price of being a musician... you are talking to beginners for goodness sake...this ibanez starter guitar is a great beginning, dont mess with todays beginners who will be tomorrows virtuoso's... what do you expect at $99.99 for a value pack guitar kit...when you are are playing carnegie hall with a 9000 dollar guitar, you can be more picky about a paint job...in my experience there are not too many accoustic guitars wirh fancy paint jobs... youre a beginner, whats action? how does the guitar feel at first strum...ask your instructor or consult your "guitar user permit"

Very well made. Your general opinion of this product. I was quite surprised at the quality of this guitar. It's my second guitar and I'm very pleased. Top notch. I couldn't imagine a better finish on ANY guitar. Action was much better than my first guitar which I gave up playing. I'm sure new Xtra light strings will make it even better.

It seems solid. Ibanez makes good guitars. It is brand new, but as long as it is well taken care of it should last a long time. Your general opinion of this product. I bought this as a birthday present for a friend who was interested in learning guitar. He was so thrilled and is really loving it. The guitar is perfect for a beginner and as all the basic tools needed to start playing: picks, guitar bag, guitar tuner, strap, and even a little accessories bag. Awesome deal. This guitar is very light and its size is very compact. There are no controls on this guitar. It doesn't have the smooth feel that I am used to on my $500+ Acoustic/Electric Takamine, but hey, this is a $100 acoustic guitar. It is just perfect for someone starting out. My friend is ecstatic and is loving learning how to play on this guitar. I wouldn't recommend this for a more experienced player unless they just wanted a less expensive guitar that they could travel around with and not worry about banging up something much more snazzy and expensive. The tone is not as rich as you might get on a more expensive guitar, probably a little more bright and snappy than dark and smooth, but the sound is quite nice and perfect for someone just starting out. Brand new no complaints. Good.

This is our second Ibanez guitar in our family, but our first beginner one. We loved our first one so much just because of the sound and quality we figured it would be a perfect addition. We've had our first Ibanez guitar for almost 20 years now and it has held up great. We're expecting the same great reliability on our beginner guitar as our first one! Your general opinion of this product. Great product. Nice for a beginner guitar. It almost jumped into my arms and wanted to be played right out of the box!

This guitar is well made and the finish on mine was flawless. I feel it will last for years to come and sound as good as any guitar in the $200 plus price range. Your general opinion of this product. You just can't go wrong as a beginner or accomplished player. I took mine in to a local shop to have the neck checked and it was just fine. I did have some changes made I'll explain in a following section of this review. As stated above, this is not a kids guitar, it has a tone that exceeds it's price. The finish is shines and has no flaws. The action was a little high but did not buzz, so when it was in the shop they adjusted the the action and put Martin lite strings on it. The cost was minimal and it was back in hands the same day. I really like this guitar and will be buying another one for my daughter.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this guitar. Looks really well built and the action is easy. Just got it and really love it. Your general opinion of this product. This is a great guitar for the beginner and for anyone who just wants to practice and learn with. The neck is easy to fret and the action on mine was set really good. The tone is pretty bright, and it fits in nicely with my collection when I want to change sounds. The finish was flawless, and although I would have rather had the natural finish, I was shipped the ivory, but it still looks good. I have not had to adjust the action or change the strings.

Your general opinion of this product.

QUALITY:
This guitar is well made, not top of the line but for the price you cannot go wrong. I feel this guitar will be with me a long time, the only improvement i can see for the money is maybe different strings, for not terrible but could be a little better

FEATURES:
The best feature about this product is everything, it is perfect for a beginner like me, good enough to last a while durable enough to take the beating a beginner will hand out to it, and good enough sound to let the beginner know he/she made a mistake. The tuner seems to be functioning very well but with little experience with tuners i really dont know

VALUE:
The value is unbeatable i have no complaints about this product, any beginner would be stoked to have this and maybe even someone on the intermediate level

Your general opinion of this product.

QUALITY:
|It is kind of flimsey I think. It's a begginer guitar and it is okay for practicing or just messing around but it's not really a performance instrument.

EASE OF USE:
It is fairley easy but I wish it would have more action to it because I play a lot of bluesy stuff so I need to be able to bend strings without worrying about losing a finger.

VALUE:
It's good for the price.

SOUND:
I like the sound, it's pretty nice, I just don't like the action on it.

Your general opinion of this product.

QUALITY:
I believe the IJV50 is a great first guitar for a beginning. I bought this guitar for my daughter and she loves it! It has a great feel to it, the finish looks awesome, and it sounds great! I wish the bag was thicker and more padded but something is better than nothing for temporary protection.

FEATURES:
Buying a guitar pack proved to be wise. I was able to tune the guitar in minutes using the included tuner. The DVD wasalso very helpful.

EASE OF USE:
In only one day I learned far more than I thought possible...very cool! Everything in the pack made sense without having to read a manual.

VALUE:
The price is perfect for the quality-minded and budget-minded beginner. No regrets! I would consider paying a little more for it if I walked into a store and saw firsthand what a quality pack is avaliable for $99.

SOUND:
I think the sound is really good. I would recommend this pack to others.

Your general opinion of this product.

STYLE:
Blues, Rock, Contemporary Gospel

MUSIC EXPERIENCE:
Beginner

OVERALL:
I was really disappointed with this guitar. It is very hard to keep in tune. It is hard to fret chords and nearly impossible to make barre chords. I have already replaced it with a Gibson. My advice is if you are serious about guitar, save a couple hundred more dollars and get one you can stay with. I started soaring with my lessons when I switched!
