"WOW This guitar is a TONE MONSTER!!!"

Feature:
The maple top over the mahogany body with satin finish feels and looks great. The thinner RG body is light and easy to play gigs. The Prestige neck is literally the fastest neck you can play...finely sanded neck with no paint and the thin wide profile is great. The Gibraltar bridge is positioned perfectly..very much like a low profile whammy..so you can skate across it for shredage without any effort. Without a whammy the strings have way better coupling to the body. They resonate so much you can feel the notes on your stomach.

Quality:
Perfect out of the box..

Value:
Can crush guitars that cost 3 times as much

Desirability:
One of their most understated looking guitars..it's a real sleeper for looks..BUT beautiful and very woodsy looking..a serious instrument

Sound:
The sound on this guitar is off the charts. It has so much tone and character. It definitely sounds as good as my Ibanez JS 1000. You can dial down the volume and play sweet....turn it up half way and add a little blues distortion...or crank it up full out and it screams but still maintains clarity of the note....amazing.... The artificial harmonics can be controlled to any degree. This really is a great axe..I speak with experience since I own way too many guitars..including 5 Gibsons..3 PRS'.

Ease of Use:
My neighbor can rip on this guitar and he's only 12

Support:
Haven't needed it

Overall:
Perfect..BUY ONE before they raise the price!

"If Ambrosia was a guitar and not a food, it would be this guitar. It elevates you to that state of mind where you can just play"

Feature:
This thing has EVERYTHING that I need and lacks only two things I want. I know they aren't going to put in my choice of pickups so that wont count. I wouldn't mind another volume and tone control. That way I could leave the neck tapped for when I want to do some smooth jazz stuff and switch back to the full sound when I need it. The hard-tail bridge is exactly what I want and this thing has the best one I've ever seen. Easy for palm muting and loads of sustain.

Quality:
Quality is pure. Absolutely loved and perfect! I can't see anything on this going wrong. Then again I've never seen it with 12's or 13's on it. Only 9's.

Value:
Value is great. I just wish I could afford the thing but this is the price for an absolute quality guitar that isn't mass produced.

Desirability:
I can't seem to be able to pick 9999999999 on this thing so I guess a 10 will have to do. Even looking at the picture of this guitar gets me giddy and short on breath. The violin finish is pure awesomeness as is the feel and sound. I mean, any guitar that you can start playing Hypocrisy (death metal) on and have it sound good in an E tuning is pretty amazing. I dream of this guitar but it shall be a long while until I have one unfortunately.

Sound:
Even the sound of the stock pickups in this guitar is awesome. I am able to play all out metal while my V-Amp 2 (that's right. Modeler :P) is at full distortion then cut the volume in half and do some awesome rock or bring it almost all the way down, switch to the neck and do some jazz. My dream with this guitar would be to throw a PAF Pro in the neck and a D Sonic in the bridge while putting in a coil splitter.

Ease of Use:
Short version: EASY AS SH**!. Longer version: The weight of this thing is perfect. The neck is perfect. It gives me more will to play guitar. If any of you like thin necks for easy use and a guitar that doesn't weigh too much but just enough then this thing is your absolute dream. $900 of pure inspiration and sound. I thank Ibanez for creating this beautiful guitar and hope that one day, I shall be able to own it. Until, I'm going across the street to use the one at the music store there.

Support:
I'm sure they'd give me all the support I'd need.

Overall:
I would be satisfied to my grave with this guitar and I would want this buried with me except for the fact that it would need to be played so I wouldn't have it buried with me. If they make the same thing in a 7 string then I would immediately buy it and love it. If it got lost, I would look for it forever and buy another if I couldn't find it. If it got stolen, I'd be arrested for the fate of the one who stole it. I would recommend this for anyone who loves playing guitar. There's everything to love about this guitar and nothing not to like. BUY ONE!
