Feature:
when i bought mine, it just came as its self. there is a gig bag made to fit its size around twenty bucks. I really like the humbuckers on this and the shark tooth neck diagram looks kick ass!
would be cooler with a whammy bar though. but i didnt use one before so why use one now.
Quality:
i feel that i baby it when traveling with it because i only use a larger gig bag for it because i dont have the one to fit its size. but really it is a solid guitar. the neck is perfectly solid and beautiful. The finish is very hard to scratch or damage as well as the pick guard. i feel comfortable with lots of use of this guitar. the only thing though is its size can make a worry.
Value:
ok for the price i got my red mikro at, 120$ i would pay the price double just to keep it. after looking at this guitar and playing it for the first time i would of never guessed it to be this price. i would guess around 3 or 400 dollars. wow. It has the looks of a 500 dollar guitar with sound of a 300 dolla guitar. so they could of made the price this way because of the bodys size, but really thats just an added bonus to me.
Desirability:
It looks as if steve vai or someone of that such designed this beauty. im looking to get a ibanez rg 350dx and this guitar actually looks similar to it. It has the black on candy apple red which is my favorite combonation. it is available in other good colors to. The neck is a beaut i luv the shark tooth diagrams. beyond that just set it down and step away and stare at it and u will just want to kiss this thing.
Sound:
this guitar produces a way better sound than it looks it would. The pickups can sound great for metal, softy stuff, or just any rock. i think it could have a 5 way toggle switch but it still produces great sounds w/o.
Ease of Use:
it is very playable. the smaller body makes great for good solo play on the 24 fret neck. its hard enough to get to 21st fret on my strat so this makes things all fine n dandy. For a fat metal or rock sound i simply just use the neck pickup. and the bridge pickup is great for a thinner moderate rock sound that cant be beat. if u can play a regular standard sized guitar this one is no different exept a lil easier.
Support:
None needed yet. but it is an ibanez. keep that in mind.
Overall:
For me this guitar was a backup or extra axe to have when i buy my 350dx ibanez. but after purchase and playing time with it its now more of my main go to guitars. i luv that about it.

Feature:
No whammy bar this is the biggest problem. But it is very easy to fix the tuning problems with this setup.
Quality:
Best for the price i guess.
Value:
This is a ibanez for 130 dollars. Everyone should have one, nothing to lose.
Sound:
You should use .10 strings with this guitar. I dont recommend .09 or lower.
Ease of Use:
This is a simple, easy and fun to play guitar.
Support:
NO idea
Overall:
I read the reviews here and played it on a guitar shop in nyc for a few times before i decide. I really like the guitar because it was so easy to play. It has a shorter neck. still 24 frets, but hard to use the last frets since they are so tiny.
After my guitar arrived i am not that satisfied first. The one in the sho was much better. Especially i had tuning problems and Higher E and G strings was not sound good. Then i switch to Ernie Ball .10 strings and i happy so far. The whammy bar is a problem but other then that this is a nice guitar and very cheap guitar, easy to carry while you travel.
