zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Stunning Guitar backed by top-notch Customer Service"

Sound: The sound of the guitar is amazing. It has a very unique sound and everyone that plays it comments on the amazing sound. Feature: This guitar has loads of great features that really make it a blast to play. The onboard electronics are really good. With the eq, tuner, anti-feedback, and 6 mic settings, you can really create a lot of different sounds onboard. I will say that I have not been able to get the anti-feedback to work like it is supposed to but that may be because I am not smart enough to figure it out. The guitar is beutiful. Very Striking. Ease of Use: This guitar came to me from Zzounds with a perfect set up. The action was amazing. I actually called Zzounds and thanked them for the perfect setup. I have used the D'Addario EXP strings on my other acoustic and I didn't like them. However, I must say that they were great on this guitar from the factory. The guitar is so fun to play, it made me practice harder and more often. Quality: Overall, the quality of this guitar is amazing. The craftsmanship is really beautiful and there has been a lot of work put into each guitar. I did have a proplem though. Actually, my guitar is currently at an authorized Ibanez repair shop because the neck bowed on me and the strings began to bottom out at about the 10th fret. This is my only real complaint about the guitar but it is a big one. Value: I don't think you can get a guitar this beautiful and feature rich for this price from any other brand. I would pay the asking price again. Manufacturer Support: Both Zzounds and Ibanez were great to deal with on the bowed neck issue with the guitar. I must admit that I live in the High Desert in North Eastern Utah and it is really dry here so that may have had something to do with the neck bowing on me. However, Zzounds was very helpful and Ibanez was amazing. I called them, told them what I was experiencing, they then gave me the info I needed to send it in. No questions asked. They were really great. The Wow Factor: I have read some reviews where people didn't like the matte finish of the guitar. However, I really like the looks of the guitar. The vines growing up the fretboard are really unique. I get a lot of comments on the guitar. Overall: Overall, I am very satisfied. I have had that big issue, but, I have to be realistic. I cannot expect any better service that what I have received from Ibanez. Besides that, I really miss having the guitar here. I can't wait for it to get repaired or replaced so I can play it again.

"The real deal on the EP9"

Sound: This guitar sounds pretty good by itself and plugged in. You have many different sound options similar to a taylor with the guitar plugged in. It sounded really good when I plugged straight into my main PA first time. Quality: The product seems to be well made, but came out of the case almost unplayable. The action was way too high, which I just think is unacceptable, because I spent over a $1000 on this guitar. I had to file the saddle on the bridge down quite a bit. After a couple of hours of work it played fantastic and felt comfortable. Value: yes, but I think it should come in playable condition. I'm sure they wouldn't give the guitar out of the box like that for Vai to play. The Wow Factor: It's nice, but the Vai logo around the soundhole can go away.

Style of Music: fusion, rock, etc.
