"METAL MACHINE, GREAT OVERALL!!!"

Feature:
This guitar included a case from where I bought it, and included all the necessary tidbits (allen keys, strap pins, etc...) The most useful feature is the Gibraltar Custom bridge, which is one of the best fixed bridges I've ever used. The least useful feature is the location on the input jack - it's very odd, but nothing to worry about. The body is mahogany, with a neck-thru Wizard II neck. It sounds amazing, and is simply a dream to play.

Quality:
This guitar is made in Indonesia, and I have to say, I am impressed at the high level of craftsmanship on this guitar. Nothing was loose, there was literally no fret buzz, and it played like a dream. It's very light considering it's made of mahogany. This guitar can easily be used without backup. This baby should last forever, when properly taken care of.

Value:
For the price, this guitar easily beats anything in its price range. Great quality, great sound, killer looks - this thing is a metal machine!

Desirability:
Just seeing this guitar in a shop makes you want one :P

Sound:
This guitar is simply amazing in every sense of the word. I play mostly rock and metal, and the pickups on this baby are insane. Very high-gain and good for soloing and rhythm. I run this guitar into a Line 6 Flextone III amp, and its a dream come true to play. Great sound overall.

Ease of Use:
After buying this guitar, I spent quite a bit of time adjusting settings, like the bridge and pickup height. All modifications are easy to do, and it is very playable, even right off the wall at your local guitar store.

Support:
Haven't had a reason to contact Ibanez support, but I've heard they're great.

Overall:
I expect to keep this guitar forever, and I dont see it breaking down on me anytime soon. If this were stolen, I would definately get another one. Great guitar, go buy one today!

About This Product!
Description
News
Those who practice the art of Chaos magic believe that "Nothing is True and Everything is Permitted." Shapes can be shifted, rules can be broken and radical thoughts are the norm. This way of thinking might also apply to Ibanez's X Series.

The best selling Ibanez Xiphos series of metal axes gets its third major model at the Summer NAMM show in Nashville. Joining the six-string double-locking trem model and the fixed bridge model is the XPT700FX, which offers fixed bridge simplicity and sustain to six string shredders.

The new model’s X-shaped mahogany body is finished in an all-new Ibanez finish, Rusty Glitter Flat, and fitted with a two-octave Wizard II neck which easily facilitates fast fretwork. Pickups are both D’Marzio D Activators, which offer the characteristic sound of active pickups favored by metalheads, but actually require no active circuitry or onboard power.
