I expect to be satisfied with this product for a long time. I will seek out another guitar at a later date but that has nothing to do with the performance of this item. It will definitely still be used for now and later.

Sound
This actually surpassed my expectations. It has a nice expressive sound quality and range.

Features
Pretty top-notch for the price. I had concerns about the amp. Mainly from what I had read from other reviewers but it silenced my concerns. The amp sounds very nice and loud for it's size. It is a great amp to practice on. The accesories that come with this package and the price coupled with the quality can't be beat. I know I may sound like I work for Ibanez but I don't. I am just really surprised at how much better this was than I expected.

Ease of Use
For the most part this is easy to grasp. But I feel like the booklet on basics might be a little too bare for some beginniners. I also have seen firsthand the perils of the electric tuner as the instructions on how to operate it were not very clear. The DVD was a nice touch although I would still recommend getting a book for starting out. Overall though I find that it is pretty easy to use with a slight learning curve.

Quality
The quality is great. My only complaint are some small blemishes on the body of the guitar. It was just a few very tiny scratches that are very… read more hard to see. Overall the quality is good. Seems like it could last for a sizeable amount of time.

Value
This is very much worth the price.

Manufacturer Support
I have not had to deal with the company for anything.

The Wow Factor
The red metallic finish looks very good. The guitar is very nice and if I saw it somewhere I would pick it up. To each his/her own though.
