Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Ibanez dealer

The Ibanez XPT700 is definitely an eye catcher. Ever since Ibanez released the Iceman, they have been pushing to produce more radical body styles and different forms of the X and V Designs. The Neck-Thru body design of the Ibanez XPT700 delivers the ultimate sustain. The addition of the Edge III Tremolo adds strength and tuning tuning stability to the XPT700 Xiphos. Ibanez has also been working on a new way of painting the guitars, and they have done it. The XPT700 Xiphos's Chameleon Paint is an awesome innovation in guitar finishing. The paint responds to light and it appears to change color as the guitar moves. It's very pleasing to the eye and less money that lacquer. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Ibanez products.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "The Ultimate Guitar."

Sound: This guitar has a very well balanced sound. The mahogany neck thru body gives it TONS of body and super sustain. Even unplugged, you can really play this guitar and hear every note in fast passages. It has tremendous clarity. I've used this guitar live on stage and It cuts through the mix very easily. I play a variety of musical styles and compose in them all. Heavy metal, death metal, fusion, rock, jazz, blues etc etc This axe shines in them all. The sound is very distinctive. Its very clear and strong. I have used this through a bunch of different amps, Marshall, Line 6 etc and it sounds great through all of them. The pickups are DiMarzio deActivators. They are really good and drive any amp. They're very hot without ever being distorted or unclear. I think they're DiMarzios best pups IMO. I've played the others as well. You'll love the neck pickups in particular. Its warm thick and flowing. Very smooth with a great response. The bridge pickups is hot and crunchy with great definition. Pinch harmonics etc just fly out of this very easily. These have the output of active pups with the finesse and character of passives. Palm mutes sound so good with this guitar. You'll feel like chunkhing out riffs all day. Feature: The guitar came with its case and keys. I think its a super hi-value for money guitar. In fact its easily worth much more. The case is quite good. The construction quality of the guitar is simply awesome. I've opened it up and inspected the wiring etc. I do this with all my guitars and have changed pups on my other axes several times. The wiring is excellent. The grounding etc is very very good. The guitar is almost noiseless. Very professional. You could use this one guitar for the rest of your life and never have to change. Ease of Use: This guitar is the best playing guitar of all of my guitars. I have 7. Fenders, Gibsons, Ibanez's etc. Its a joy to play this. The neck is ultra comfortable and guitar playing feels easy and joyful. This guitar is really easy to play. A lot of players have complained about the strap pin placement. I've adjusted to it and its fine for me. You can get it adjusted if you like. Its not a big deal. Quality: Its fantastic. BEST quality guitar i've ever played. Its like an Alien-Medieval weapon. It could withstand a nuclear war. Value: BEST value in the market. By far. Manufacturer Support: Wont need it. The Wow Factor: Its easily the sexiest guitar i have. I show all my guitars to my students and visitors. They see my other guitars and say "wow", "awesome", "very nice" etc When I open the Xiphos case and show them they only GASP. Its that hot. Overall: I'll want to buy a bunch of these guitars. I think i'll buy on in each color in 2 year periods. Its the pinnacle of guitar evolution.

"AMAZING!!!"

Sound: Everything about this guitar is shocking and amazing and I have never said that about any other guitar before in my entire life. The pick ups are not active but the Dimarzios are amazing and work well with any amp to the point where you cannot even tell that they are not active. It shreds even better than my Schecter Synyster Custom and for 300 dollars less. It is a Neck thru so the sustain is unbeleavable and it stays in tune no matter how hard you go at it (within reason). It is the best metal guitar on the market right now and the value is absolutly unbeatable (take this for example you can get a schecter synyster standard for 699.99 with Duncan designed pickups or get this one with full Dimarzios for the same price and 300 less as I said above. That is the guitar I compare it too as I have both and they are similar with pickups and for the same music). Feature: The design, the pickups, the case, and the color will blow you away ok ok maybe not the case but its a nice perk and saves you some money. Ease of Use: Use it right out of the box and you will love it. Quality: Made extremly well in a neck thru design which I love and they are useually much more expensive than this. I plan on playing this one a long long time. Value: 699.99 For a neck thru with great pickups, awesome color, and 5pc Mahogany are you kidding me this is the best deal you will find anywhere. Manufacturer Support: Customer service with Ibanez is easy fast and they do what they can to make you happy. I have no complaints but with this guitar I highly doubt you will be calling anyone except to show off or thank them for this awesome guitar. The Wow Factor: Its beautiful in looks, sound and features. Overall: Best guitar I have ever owned or played (and Im talking Gibson, fender, schecter and none compare to this one). The only one close is the Schecter Synyster.
