Sound: The sound is very clean when I play without effects. When I add effects, they sound very clear. I can't complain about the pick ups at all. Great Natural Sound. Feature: Features are all right. I wish it had a tremolo though. If it had a tremolo bar, it would be so awesome. Since then, my guitar is incomplete. Ease of Use: It's pretty easy for me to get the sound I want out of this guitar. I just turn all the knobs to 10, move the switch to treble, and I am ready to go. Quality: The one thing that is killing me is the action. Ever since I bought the guitar, I can't get the action in the right place. I play with super heavy strings and drop to a G#, but still, I should be able to get the action right. If I play too hard, my strings buzz somewhat, and at times I loose my inspiration and will to play. Sometimes it is really hard to play, and again, it comes down to the fact that the action is messed up. That is why most of the time I play with my 6 string guitar instead. Value: Hey, unlike these guys who got this guitar for like $350 plus, I got it for $250 after tax. The only thing, I had to place an order for it and wait about 2 weeks for delivery. But hey, it was worth the wait if it saved me about 100 dollars, right? Manufacturer Support: To be honest, I haven't really tried to deal with these guys. However, I did not see a number I could call, so even if I wanted to approach the phone, I could not be able to get a hold of them. The Wow Factor: Oh, it has great looks. If it was a girl, I would make love to her in my car. Overall: To be honest, I love everything about this guitar, except the action. That is the main reason why I hardly ever play with this guitar. Once I take it to the shop so they can fix the action, there will be nothing left to dislike bout this guitar, and I will play everyday with it.

Sound: Not really good for my type of music. It has a nice clean tone on the neck pick-up. Feature: If you buy this guitar get a new bridge pickup.The action is pretty decent. Quality: The hardware will rust on you after a while if you don't take good care of it. Value: Could possibly lower the price a little. Manufacturer Support: I never dealt with the company. The Wow Factor: Good for a first 7-string. Overall: I still have it but have replaced it with better guitars.

Sound: THE GRIT OF A GIBSON AND THE HOLLOW AND LIGHTNESS OF A FENDER IN ONE GUITAR!!!! Feature: DROP-D TUNERS, GOOD PICKUPS (DUNCAN) - IT WOULD BE NICE WITH TREMOLO, BUT PERHAPS THAT IS NOT HELPFUL FOR THIS STYLE OF GUITAR. PERHAPS IT WASN'T DESIGNED FOR TREMOLO. Quality: THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE JACK PLUGHOLE - IT LOOSENS AND NEEDS TIGHTENING FROM TIME TO TIME - A PAIN IN THE... ALL THE OTHER PARTS ARE PERFECT PLUS ONE!!! The Wow Factor: LOOKS ARE GOOD, BUT THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY APPEALING TO THE GUITARIST. Overall: I HAVE HAD MINE FOR 5 YEARS - NO PROBLEMS THE BEST GUITAR I EVER HAD!!!

Musical Background: Active Musician

Back to Product Information
Sound: The stock pickups of this guitar are slightly higher quality than some other Ibanez guitars that are priced more than it. But the sound is still high and twangy. Feature: It's got a three way switch thats black cover broke off 4 mounths after me buying it for 299.99. The volume and tone knobs fall off rather easily. It's got seven strings but the lower end tone is just buzzy and terrible. Quality: Well. The paint is matte and does not chip very easily, so the absence of a pickguard does not really matter. This guitar also comes out of tune VERY easily. I find myself tuning it every 20 minutes or so. IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA TO USE THIS AS EVEN A BACKUP GUITAR AT A SHOW. It's just not reliable enough. It's also VERY neck heavy Value: This guitar should be AT THE LEAST $100 cheaper than its base price. Manufacturer Support: Never used it. The Wow Factor: This guitar looks like an unattractive SG in my opinion. A much fatter version at that. This guitar is not VERY heavy but its still packin' a good bit of weight. The acoustic style neck isn't that great either. Overall: not good but if you cant afford any thing better than it'll be fine.

By a customer from ameritech.net

Music Style: Metal/Hardcore
Back to Product Information
Sound: I hate the sound. The pickups are just disgusting to me. However that is in comparison to an EMG 89/81 set on my Gothic Explorer. Still, i can't get the range of tone or sustain I want, and I can't get the intonation of the low B setup. even with the damn saddle to the back of the bridge it's about a quarter tone too high. Feature: The tuners on this thing are complete crap. They slip on me constantly. i was going to replace them with some locking sperzels, but when i went ot adjust the height of the pickups, i found out very swiftly that this guitar is not meant to be tampered with. The pickups just rest on foam. No height springs. So when i tried to move my bridge pickup down away form the strings cause it was overdriving on me, one of the support screws stripped right out of the body. I have it held in with a toothpick right now. Quality: The finish was fine, but i hated it anyway and sanded it off. The tuners suck. Both a pickup screw AND one of the strap screws has just ripped out of the body on me. It doesnt seem like anything about this guitar is meant to last, but it may be good enough for a beginning player that doesn't want to tinker with it too much. Value: Cheap guitar. But you get what you pay for. Manufacturer Support: I havent tried the support, and i dont care to. The Wow Factor: The guitar LOOKS great and is a hell of a stage-piece. The neck feels great too. But it plays like old people screw and falls apart like a leper. Overall: I hate this damn thing. i was satisfied for about 2 weeks. I've already ordered an ESP LTD 607 in it's place.
