Feature:
The guitar is built really well. My biggest qualm is the edge III trem. It doesn't hold tuning very well when used. I never played with it that much as a result. However, it did offer solid tuning stability when not used that often. Just string it up, knock it in tune, lock it down and it'll stay that way for a long time.
The neck on this guitar is not as thin as say a prestige ibanez, but it still plays really well.
Quality:
It's Ibanez. And to me, Ibanez means quality. The Edge III trem is the only lackluster part of this guitar. The build quality and care put into this instrument was fantastic.
Sound:
The stock pickups are decent. They aren't bad by any means, but if you're looking for a little more 'bite' and clarity to your tone definitely swap them out. For bedroom playing and just jamming with friends though, it sounds good enough.
Ease of Use:
The trem can be swapped for something more high quality, so its not that big of an issue. Changing strings on the Edge III is just as 'easy' as it is on any floating trem. For the guitarist looking for a good mid-range guitar, it is excellent. A few changes easily makes this guitar compare with higher end models.
Overall:
I've had this guitar for almost a year and a half now. It has held up great! it plays just as well as it did when i first got it. this was my first guitar and it really helped me learn as i could depend on it to do what i wanted without problem. Knowing what i know now about guitars though, the trem is the only issue here.
All in all, i do recommend this product.

"great guitar, bad trem"
Feature:
the pickguard looks great, the pups are great, and has a H-S-H configuration, so wide range of sound, the wizard II neck is great for fast playing, the only problem is the Edge III, I just ordered an OFR for changing the Edge III.
Quality:
its great, haven´t gig with it but if my friend who is a killer on a gig has a yamaha sarter pack, and its guitar survives, this should easily survives with me, the trem looses its cosmo black finish very easily tough. i will depend on it but, i use different tunings so i need more than one guitar(because of the trem).
Value:
besides its trem, it is a very good guitar for the price, but i believe there is a S series ibanez on this price range, and it has a ZR trem which is better than the edge III, but still a very good guitar.
Desirability:
the black finish with a white pickguiard and a cosmo black accesories(trem, nut, tuners), this guitar is HOT!!!!
Sound:
It has a fairly good sound, stock pups sound good(even if having bad reviews about it), but changing them myself. i play it througha line 6 spider III 30w and through a Digitech RP350, sounds kick ass.
Ease of Use:
this is a very playable guitar, everything is great on it(besides the trem), you dont actually need a manual for a guitar, unless you are doing a lot to it, so its manual is pretty decent. you can easily get varieties of sound with it(for the pup configuration and all)
Overall:
i am still satidfied for what i paid( only 5 months with it but still as new(besides the trem))
