"Great value for a great sounding guitar... value way beyond price."

Feature:
Mine is Transparent Black Cherry... absolutely beautiful. It has the fit and feel of a very expensive guitar.

Quality:
No pickguard... so far, that's the only downside to this instrument.

Value:
Definitely worth the price.

Desirability:
This is a beautiful looking and sounding guitar.

Sound:
The amplified sound of this guitar is outstanding. It has two pickups... one under the bridge (piezo) and the other in the neck end of the sound hole (magnetic). This combination is what makes this such a winner!

Overall:
I bought this guitar to replace a Takamine G332S that is just too big for comfort. This instrument is a nice compact, comfortable fit. I expect I will own it forever.

Style of Music: Blues

"I've tried 2k+ acoustics and this had the best tone, and electonics to boot."

The reason I picked this guitar up was because it stood out on the rack. None of the other guitars looked like it. I've never played an acoustic that didn't take some getting used to, the action on them's been a big problem for me, as I'm used to electrics. This guitar took no adjustment for me. It played better than any electric I've played in months. It plays better than my Universe! Grated it only has 6 strngs to deal with, but regardless, it plays extremely well.
The sound this thing has is incredible.
A $2200 Taylor I played had put out more of my pick attack then anything else, and has a constant, almost compressed sound with no real dynamic range. It also had VERY high action.
This guitar responds very well to my playing, and has a softer attack and a rather midrangy sound, without sacrificing high end or lows.
You can't fake a good acoustic sound. This is the best I've heard.
The elctronics are an excellent bonus, but to be honest I doubt I'll use them. I wish they made a purely acoustic version of this guitar, but I'd have payed as much if there were no electronics.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
It's amazing. Take an Ibanez MASA guitar in hand. With its arched top, it looks very expensive. It also sounds expensive. The MASA's innovative magnetic pickup gives you all the rich, lush, beautiful acoustic warmth you ever wanted. And the equally innovative EQ gives you the tonal control and freedom from feedback you expect from the most expensive onboard electronics systems. Even the list of features says expensive. Now comes the amazing part: the very inexpensive price tag on this impressive combination of looks and sound.
