Value:
Very much So....

Desirability:
Well apparently this isn't a new model for Ibanez-the 2006 had different hardware, not the Gold hardware like mine does for 2007

Sound:
I'll tell you what....This Guitar sounds clear as a bell & the neck has a nice broken-in feel to it...so much quality at 1/3 the price of a comparable Gibson axe & will even give the George Benson series guitars a run for the money in the Tone department! Nothing else compares @ this price....

Support:
Never had any problems with Ibanez Guitars....I own 3 Rg's and an Acoustic & I love the sound.

Overall:
I would definitely buy another one

Feature:
Nothing too special, a standard double-humbucker setup. It works well, and I don't expect much more of a guitar like this as far as features are concerned.

Quality:
Everything is exceptionally well-made, regardless of the price. My guitar had a couple issues with extra vibration/buzzing, but a setup technician can fix that easily. Even meticulous issues such as the wiring have been carefully planned out and grouped to stay still and eliminate buzz, while being easy to access in the case of a repair.

Value:
As I'm writing this review, I keep forgetting how cheap this guitar really costs. I think anyone who picks this puppy up is going to be so lucky.

Desirability:
If anyone out there has the power to bring the sex appeal back to jazz, I will not for one minute be surprised if they are wielding this guitar when they do it.

Sound:
I would have loved to have a little more definition in the pickup's sound, but overall a very great tone. It has a little bit of a bite at the neck pick-up (undesirable if you're going for an L-5 sound...), and the bridge drives very well. I'm assuming these pickups are slightly overwound, but I haven't run any tests to make sure. I think that as a jazz guitarist, it has a unique tone, but the biting quality can grow tiring. Still, as far as warmth is concerned, it is in a league of its own compared to the Strat I was used to.

Ease of Use:
The neck is an absolute dream to play. I distinctly remember telling one of my friends that when I put a set of .13 flatwound strings on this guitar, I could almost feel the jazz that was waiting to be played. It glides easily, has a great shape, and feels good to play.

Support:
I've only contacted Ibanez via e-mail about the buzz problem I mentioned earlier, but they responded quickly and were very knowledgeable with how to help. Their website also has a good deal of help if you know where to look.

Overall:
Absolutely an astonishing guitar. My only concern is that the pickups can get a little tiring, but pickups are replaceable. The rest of this guitar is not. It truly is a gem, no matter what the price is... but luckily, it's a budget guitar! I'll be playing this for years to come.
