"beastly metal guitar!"

Quality:
it is very durable but lightweight. it is made out of basswood so its very lightweight and still gets great tone. iv banged it around a few times and there isnt a scratch on it!

Value:
it is very cheap for the quality. one of ibanez's greater products.

Desirability:
its a flying v for gods sake! who wouldn't want one!

Sound:
this is a beast! it comes stock with dimarzio d activators which bring out some awesome metal tones.

Ease of Use:
no effects needed to get ur heavy metal riffs. just turn on a little distortion and you have some serious tone.

Support:
havent had to deal with it yet but im sure its fine.

Ibanez VBT700 V-Blade Customer Review

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.

Description
From Our Catalog
Another incredibly styled guitar from the minds of the Ibanez designers. The Ibanez VBT700 is a killer cut. Pro appointments like the Wizard II neck and the Gibraltar custom bridge make this one a must have any musician looking for an edge. The DiMarzio pickups combined with the neck-thru design will give you nearly infinite sustain. Jumbo frets make playing a breeze with very little fatigue.
