zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Feature:
for the money, It has good pickups and hardware

Quality:
the only problem I've had with this guitar in nearly 4 years is that I've had to re-glue one of the tone nobs. The entire guitar from the tuners to the internal eleectronics is solid.

Value:
I would definately reccomend this

Desirability:
many of my friends in bands have used this guitar because it's attractive and looks good on stage

Sound:
Unplugged, it has an extremely clear and bright sound, and if it's plugged into an amp, the pickups really shine as well. I have had this guitar for almost four years and it's always been excellent.

Ease of Use:
very easy to play and fits well to the body

Support:
I have never had to deal with customer support

Overall:
best guitar i've had yet (I have three others). I will definately buy an ibanez again.

Style of Music: blues, jazz and country

Musical Experience: active musician 41 years

Location: southold, ny

Feature:
a 3 piece set in neck and flawless workmenship, low action playability at this price is unheard of (until now!)

Quality:
everything worked great and the set up was perfect.

Value:
folks, it doesen't get any better or cheaper than this. Ibanez is the best bang for the buck you will find anywhere!

Desirability:
it is very nice looking, and is the only thing with a nice figure my wife will let me play with.

Sound:
you get a nice mellow jazz sound out of the neck pickup and a little bit of "dirt" from the bridge pickup. Together the pickups give me a third sound that is not unlike a semihollow gibson es137.

Ease of Use:
it is one of the most playable guitars i have ever owned (I have owned over 50 guitars, and some of them cost thousands of dollars)

Support:
i have never had an ibanez guitar break or need any kind of repair work. this includes a gb10, and 3 different artcore guitars.
