Feature:
Love the sound from the pickups! The string action is very light, perfect for a beginner or an accomplished player. They do not come with tremelo systems, which for me would be a drawback, but for my son it actually is great, because it will save me from having to tune it up every time he used it.

Quality:
Perfect

Value:
You really get a great guitar for the money. My son loves it, and it did not cost me a fortune. I enjoyed playing it myself.

Desirability:
The shark tooth inlay on the fretboard makes this guitar stand out from the other Strat copies. The pickups are much better than the usual single coil from this type of guitar.

Sound:
For what it is designed for, it is perfect.

Ease of Use:
The Mikro came in tune and fully set up. The string action is amazing.

Overall:
This is the perfect sized guitar for my 9 year old son. The double coil pickups and the shark tooth inlay were the reasons for buying this one over the Stratocaster Squire. I was very happy when the guitar came perfectly set up, ready to play. I would definitely buy another one.

Feature:
when i bought mine, it just came as its self. there is a gig bag made to fit its size around twenty bucks. I really like the humbuckers on this and the shark tooth neck diagram looks kick ass! would be cooler with a whammy bar though. but i didnt use one before so why use one now.

Quality:
i feel that i baby it when traveling with it because i only use a larger gig bag for it because i dont have the one to fit its size. but really it is a solid guitar. the neck is perfectly solid and beautiful. The finish is very hard to scratch or damage as well as the pick guard. i feel comfortable with lots of use of this guitar. the only thing though is its size can make a worry.

Value:
ok for the price i got my red mikro at, 120$ i would pay the price double just to keep it. after looking at this guitar and playing it for the first time i would of never guessed it to be this price. i would guess around 3 or 400 dollars. wow. It has the looks of a 500 dollar guitar with sound of a 300 dolla guitar. so they could of made the price this way because of the bodys size, but really thats just an added bonus to me.

Desirability:
It looks as if steve vai or someone of that such designed this beauty. im looking to get a ibanez rg 350dx and this guitar actually looks similar to it. It has the black on candy apple red which is my favorite combonation. it is available in other good colors to. The neck is a beaut i luv the shark tooth diagrams. beyond that just set it down and step away and stare at it and u will just want to kiss this thing.

Sound:
this guitar produces a way better sound than it looks it would. The pickups can sound great for metal, softy stuff, or just any rock. i think it could have a 5 way toggle switch but it still produces great sounds w/o.

Ease of Use:
it is very playable. the smaller body makes great for good solo play on the 24 fret neck. its hard enough to get to 21st fret on my strat so this makes things all fine n dandy. For a fat metal or rock sound i simply just use the neck pickup. and the bridge pickup is great for a thinner moderate rock sound that cant be beat. if u can play a regular standard sized guitar this one is no different exept a lil easier.

Support:
None needed yet. but it is an ibanez. keep that in mind.

Overall:
For me this guitar was a backup or extra axe to have when i buy my 350dx ibanez. but after purchase and playing time with it its now more of my main go to guitars. i luv that about it.

Feature:
1 Volume, 1 Tone and a 3-way blade switch are a pretty simple setup. The tone knob works wonders when you plug into an amp that has WAY to much factory Gain. The blade switch tends to add ALOT of Mud to the sound when switched to the neck pickup, sounds somewhat like your listening to your amp through a thick wall. Overall? a real light-weight Guitar thats user friendly!

Quality:
Very Durable Guitar indeed. The paint job is pretty simple and can take a beating. padded gig bag? no problem, just toss it in back with the rest of your gear. Tuners are durable too but once again keep tuning them! seems to take a variety of different Guaged strings without effecting Tonality. overall one heck of a beast, mine's starting to look like Van Halen's Frankenstein but still sounds good!

Value:
for a new Guitarist, you cant get much better for the price of this Rocker. Its no ESP, but for practice or "getting the lead out" this is a great Guitar!

Desirability:
Looks wise? Its no High-end Guitar, you get what you pay for...regardless of what others tell you. My Guitar is a standard Blue, but whats in the looks anyway?

Sound:
The Stock Buckers are pretty decent for the price of this Guitar, but are a bit lacking when it comes to "tonal clarity" Nice heavy "meaty" sound on the lower frets and fairly exceptional highs on the uppers. For the price you cant go wrong!

Ease of Use:
Frets are easy to find and chording is a cinch, the Neck however is a little thick and can cause hand cramps every so often (just take breaks) Tuners are a little tricky at times and need re-tuning often. works great with Digitech's RP series of pedals. and as for the whammy? nice add on but tends to make the strings fall out of tune easily, I would suggest stronger springs in the back.

Support:
Never have had any problems with this Guitar, its defenitly a keeper.

Overall:
Great Guitar for learning, awesome price & nice features make it Kid friendy and keeps holes out of parents wallets. You may find yourself upgrading in the future, but in my mind there is no better setup for the "just starting" Guitarist.

Feature:
wish it came with a gig bag. kinda hard to find a soft case.

Quality:
dropped it twice, didn't break a thing.

Value:
its a good price for what you're getting

Desirability:
for little fingered gals like myself, this is an awesome little creature.

Sound:
sounds great for the tiny body.

Ease of Use:
pretty easy to use. i got small fingers and it's easy to move the strings around without having to strain.

Feature:
This guitar was just what I was looking for. I am not a whammy user so this is perfect. I am going to replace the tuners but other than that, it's perfect.

Quality:
This baby is made really well. I'm not just hyping this up. It's killer!

Value:
I'm rating a 9 cause it should come with better tuners

Sound:
This Ibanez sounds great! I was shocked when I first plugged in. I am using Ernie Balls and this axe kicks!

Ease of Use:
Awesome! It plays and feels better than an ESP EC1000

Support:
n/a

Feature:
No whammy bar this is the biggest problem. But it is very easy to fix the tuning problems with this setup.

Quality:
Best for the price i guess.

Value:
This is a ibanez for 130 dollars. Everyone should have one, nothing to lose.

Sound:
You should use .10 strings with this guitar. I dont recommend .09 or lower.

Ease of Use:
This is a simple, easy and fun to play guitar.

Support:
NO idea

Overall:
I read the reviews here and played it on a guitar shop in nyc for a few times before i decide. I really like the guitar because it was so easy to play. It has a shorter neck. still 24 frets, but hard to use the last frets since they are so tiny. After my guitar arrived i am not that satisfied first. The one in the sho was much better. Especially i had tuning problems and Higher E and G strings was not sound good. Then i switch to Ernie Ball .10 strings and i happy so far. The whammy bar is a problem but other then that this is a nice guitar and very cheap guitar, easy to carry while you travel.

Feature:
great pickups smooth sound. Great for rock, blues, or jazz

Quality:
awesome

Value:
cheap and sounds like ya baught it for 1000000 dollars

Desirability:
This is a great looking guitar. I can sit and look at it for hours

Sound:
this is better than a fender. I love to play Metal, Alternrock, classic and a lot of other stuff

Ease of Use:
all u do is plug it and play that easy

Support:
great

Overall:
I like everything about except i would be happier if it came with a wammy bar but i dont really need that
