Ibanez VBT700 V-Blade Electric Guitar

Feature:
It has everything I need.

Quality:
The guitar came perfectly set up, action and intonation were spot on. I can't find any flaws in the finish or binding. I normally don't like painted necks, but this guitar plays very nicely and I haven't had any issues with it.

Value:
I'm very happy with the value of this guitar. The sounds, the neck, the ease of playability make it a great buy (if you can find one).

Desirability:
V's are always cool.

Sound:
I play in a covers band that does everything from 50's pop to current rock, and this guitar covers all of the bases nicely. The D-activators don't really do single coil chime, but they are plenty sparkly for clean stuff. They put out a nice distortion of course, but they really, really shine with a medium blues overdrive. They are crunchy and articulate and sustain for days. This guitar is much more than a 'metal machine'.

Overall:
If this guitar was stolen, I would likely buy another, assuming I could find one. It is light and comfortable to play, has a nice aesthetic, and it sounds awesome.

Feature:
As far as Ibanez's go, this is great. No floyd rose and Edge Pro or anything. Just a nice bridge and some great pick-ups. A neck-through guitar for the masses!!

Quality:
DEFINATELY the best Ibanez I've played. Its beautiful! Comes with a case, come on..SCORE!! I've had it for about a year now, no problems WHAT SO EVER.

Value:
It's not a bad retail price, and most stores sell it cheaper than I think it's worth. The cut alone of this guitar is brilliant, and the equiptment inside of it... mmhmmm.

Desirability:
I first saw this guitar (white with black pin stripe) hanging up in a guitar store and fell in love. Its sex apeal is definately strong. I played it for quite some time, and sure enough, bought it not too long after. Everytime I show off my guitars, I always get the most compliments on the looks of this Ibanez.

Sound:
Of the three other Ibanez guitars I own, this defiantely has the best tone for the music I want to make! This guitar really brings out the best in my playing.

Ease of Use:
The neck is great, the bridge is great, the weight is fantastic! Perfectly balanced, easy to play.

Support:
I had a small issue with string tension, it was my friend's fault, but the warranty covered a quick tune-up from the guitar store it was purchased at.

Overall:
I hope to own this guitar for the rest of my life. It's sheer beauty in the looks, the tone, EVERYTHING about it is perfect. Find this guitar and BUY IT!
