Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Ibanez dealer

You may have noticed recently that some companies have started to offer 7-string guitars. But you've probably also noticed that the best 7-string players still use Ibanez exclusively. Why Because Ibanez is the 7-string company. They have more years of experience with solid body 7-strings than all the other companies combined. That's why their 7-strings have better low B resonance, and why they don't have the low B buzz you find on other sevens.

Ibanez also has the superior selection of sevens for heavy players, progressive players, and traditional jazzers. Seven strings. Ibanez. It's that simple. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Ibanez products.

"Close to perfection, except the Action."

Sound: The sound is very clean when I play without effects. When I add effects, they sound very clear. I can't complain about the pick ups at all. Great Natural Sound. Feature: Features are all right. I wish it had a tremolo though. If it had a tremolo bar, it would be so awesome. Since then, my guitar is incomplete. Ease of Use: It's pretty easy for me to get the sound I want out of this guitar. I just turn all the knobs to 10, move the switch to treble, and I am ready to go. Quality: The one thing that is killing me is the action. Ever since I bought the guitar, I can't get the action in the right place. I play with super heavy strings and drop to a G#, but still, I should be able to get the action right. If I play too hard, my strings buzz somewhat, and at times I loose my inspiration and will to play. Sometimes it is really hard to play, and again, it comes down to the fact that the action is messed up. That is why most of the time I play with my 6 string guitar instead. Value: Hey, unlike these guys who got this guitar for like $350 plus, I got it for $250 after tax. The only thing, I had to place an order for it and wait about 2 weeks for delivery. But hey, it was worth the wait if it saved me about 100 dollars, right? Manufacturer Support: To be honest, I haven't really tried to deal with these guys. However, I did not see a number I could call, so even if I wanted to approach the phone, I could not be able to get a hold of them. The Wow Factor: Oh, it has great looks. If it was a girl, I would make love to her in my car. Overall: To be honest, I love everything about this guitar, except the action. That is the main reason why I hardly ever play with this guitar. Once I take it to the shop so they can fix the action, there will be nothing left to dislike bout this guitar, and I will play everyday with it.

"Goes out of tune easy if you try bending notes. Pickups are not so hot. After a while the hardware starts to rust a little."

Sound: Not really good for my type of music. It has a nice clean tone on the neck pick-up. Feature: If you buy this guitar get a new bridge pickup.The action is pretty decent. Quality: The hardware will rust on you after a while if you don't take good care of it. Value: Could possibly lower the price a little. Manufacturer Support: I never dealt with the company. The Wow Factor: Good for a first 7-string. Overall: I still have it but have replaced it with better guitars.
