Feature:
nice size, great feel. Ibanez, for whatever reason only puts 1 strap peg on their guitars, so I've had to add the other on both of my guitars. It's too early to rate their long term durability, but they look great, and play great. The choice of Elixir strings, at least in my opinion is great. No squeak at all, and a crisp new sound all the time.

Quality:
Cosmetically, they're beautiful, fit and finish are great. Long term, I can't say since I've only recently purchased mine.

Value:
try them head to head with guitars with similar features, at twice the price, and judge for yourself. I'm fortunate to have two very large music stores to be able to compare several brands head to head, before I made my decision.

Desirability:
There's not a lot to choose from in the acoustic/electric 12 string market, but I've played Taylors, and Ovations, and honestly, they don't sound any better, and they play about the same. I can't justify the $1500 dollar and up price for one of theirs, when Ibanez offers the same quality for under $500.

Sound:
extremely easy to play. I've owned an ovation 12 string for over 20 years, and the Ibanez is so much easier to play. I've played some of the newer Ovations, and while they too are easier to play than my old one, they cost more than twice as much as the Ibanez, and don't sound any better, nor do they paly any easier.

Overall:
I can't say anything negative. I wasn't looking to buy Ibanez when I started looking, but after playing them, and comparing prices, they round pretty good against the higher priced brands. I hope they're as durable as they are beautiful.

Feature:
Single cut away allows simulating mandolin - like at the ending of Maggie Mae. Powered pre-amp & 3 channel equalizer allows volume control and some shaping of the sound.

Quality:
Absolutely no complaints.

Value:
I worked in a music store in the 60's - today's prices are amazing by comparison considering inflation.

Desirability:
Beautiful curved back - mahogony grain. Unusual inlay around sound hole.

Sound:
Great in acoustic or amplified use.

Support:
No contact

Overall:
I do not expect to ever have to replace it. The more I play it, the better it gets.

I searched and searched for THE 12 string. I played the Adamas 12's. I played the Taylors. ALL very nice. And they should be. But for $1000 less, this is a sweet playing little fella. Not only does it look very well put together, it plays even better. I play it through a crate 125. Oh my. Lovely sound.It sounds great stummed, and is just about the easiest guitar to pick with also.What else is there?

This is one of the finest 12 strings I have played.That's why I own one.Fit and finish is second to none.The Fishman prefix plus pickup has to be heard.Unplugged it sounds just as good.You can't find a better guitar for twice the money.Better neck than the Gibson,better finish than the Martin,better electronics than most all of them combined,and for less than $500 most anyone can own one.It's a great deal!!!Thank you JESUS!!!

The flame rosette caught my eye, then I was blown away with the quality of the sound! I shopped around for a long time and I couldn't beat the quality for the price, It sounds and playes like a much higher priced guitar. It has a nice rich, well balanced tone. The action is set just right. I would, and have, recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a high quality, affordable twelve string!!
