Back to Product Information
Sound: This guitar is the best sounding guitar you can get for your price.. I choice this guitar over some $400 guitar... All around an awesome sounding guitar... Feature: It looks like a standard acoustic guitar until you feast your eyes upon the amazing "Tree of life" inlays. The inlays alone installed on another acoustic guitar would run you at least $150 TO $200!!.. This is one reason why i could not pass this great deal up!.. Ease of Use: I had to mess around with this guitar for awhile until i got it how i liked it.. but after i found the sweet spot it was all downhill from there.. I have 2 other acoustics that i purchased before this one, this one sounds the best, but i probly wouldnt choose it to start on.. just because it seems a bit harder to play on than the others.. Quality: The only thing that i notice wrong with the looks since i purchased it is the gold tuners seem to have lost there shine a bit.. just where i have touch them when i tune it.. Value: Too cheap for what your getting.. but whos complaining!? Manufacturer Support: Awesome guitar

Sound: amazing tone, bought one used..wanted a cutaway...but once i heard the tone, bought it with a very nice case for an amazing price!!!i believe this discontinued model to be worth alot more than they sold it to me for...beautiful art work...very symbolic....tree of life! i bought two ibanez guitars that day...i gutted the electrics off another one that had a passive electronic setting and installed it in this guitar, added a luthe hole to match the wood, and tweaked it a little. i would not sell this guitar for 1000 dollars. Feature: great tone, what more can i say...ac. gtrs are harder on the fingers to play,....lately i feel like clean sound is where its at, ive foergotten about distortion...but after picking around on one of these for a while...electric guitars, especially fender tele's are butter!! Ease of Use: very easy, adjustments simple....typically the truss rod, and plastic piece in the bridge...maybe Quality: very...its not what you have, its how you take care of it Value: dont know, practically stole this guitar for the price i payed....im on here now to rate this particular instrument, and try to find out what they actually sell for brand new, which is difficult it seems because i guess its discontinued......... Manufacturer Support: haven't contacted....what for? The Wow Factor: i dig it. beautiful like i said. best guitar i've ever owned.... played several, have friends...everybody plays...i like this one the most Overall: i never want to let this one go, irreplacable to me.

Sound: Sounds great--love the tone. Feature: I am not sure how to answer--just a beginner. Ease of Use: I think this could be more of a guitar for someone who knows how to play better. I really am just a beginner and it is a little harder for me to play. But then I have small hands. Quality: Very nice quality--I loved the woods used for it and the inlay desgin--just feel in love with the inlay design. Value: I think it was worth the price--paid simliar to your advertised price just tax was included was the only difference. Manufacturer Support: Somewhat--not enough for me--I think there was a warranty--need to ask them. The Wow Factor: Very nice looking--I loved the inlay design--couldn't resist picking this guitar over some of the others in the shop. Overall: I think I was going to rate this an "8" but I think it is more like a "7" overall or 7.5 as I don't have a lot of experience with guitars yet, I can't rate it too high because there might be something better out there.
