"My most favorite guitar yet"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will keep this guitar forever and ever. I love it.
Sound
This is the best guitar I have owned so far. I have had RG's, 777's, les pauls...this guitar is awesome. I love the fixed bridge, it never gets out of tune. The look and feel are excellent. I feel so comfortable playing this guitar I just can't put it down. From the neck to the sound this guitar has it all. I don't even miss the tremolo.
Features
The playability is fantastic if that can be considered a feature. I suppose I would have to say the neck is my favorite feature but the whole thing as a package can't be beat. I had every feature in mind as my own invention when I went looking for a guitar then found this and was amazed that everything I wanted to create in a guitar was already done.
Ease of Use
It is way to easy to get a good sound on this guitar. I plugged it in and I was done. I did not have to modify anything.
Quality
Another great Ibanez product. I have tried leaving Ibanez just see what else is out there and I always come back.
Value
Worth every penny although I did pay less than this price. Knowing how good this guitar is I would pay this price if I could not get it for less elsewhere.
Manufacturer Support
Did not need any
The Wow Factor
Plenty of sex appeal. I have the black with blank fret board. This thing caught my eye right away.
