SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: This actually surpassed my expectations. It has a nice expressive sound quality and range. Feature: Pretty top-notch for the price. I had concerns about the amp. Mainly from what I had read from other reviewers but it silenced my concerns. The amp sounds very nice and loud for it's size. It is a great amp to practice on. The accesories that come with this package and the price coupled with the quality can't be beat. I know I may sound like I work for Ibanez but I don't. I am just really surprised at how much better this was than I expected. Ease of Use: For the most part this is easy to grasp. But I feel like the booklet on basics might be a little too bare for some beginniners. I also have seen firsthand the perils of the electric tuner as the instructions on how to operate it were not very clear. The DVD was a nice touch although I would still recommend getting a book for starting out. Overall though I find that it is pretty easy to use with a slight learning curve. Quality: The quality is great. My only complaint are some small blemishes on the body of the guitar. It was just a few very tiny scratches that are very hard to see. Overall the quality is good. Seems like it could last for a sizeable amount of time. Value: This is very much worth the price. Manufacturer Support: I have not had to deal with the company for anything. The Wow Factor: The red metallic finish looks very good. The guitar is very nice and if I saw it somewhere I would pick it up. To each his/her own though. Overall: I expect to be satisfied with this product for a long time. I will seek out another guitar at a later date but that has nothing to do with the performance of this item. It will definitely still be used for now and later.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I purchased this package about 2 months ago,I did alot of looking around,I finally decided on the jumpstart package.The sound of the guitar is well worth the price you pay! The guitar stays in tune very well, the tuner that comes with it also works great,the amp seems to be a nice addition.I had a friend come over with his knowledge of 8 years and he played it,he was very impressed. Feature: The tuner and head phones work good,no problems. The case is well made,sturdy and reliable. Quality: My guitar on delivery had a small ding on the back side,not that noticeable. The finish overall, is sweet and is holding up well. I would recomend this package to any beginer or advanced that wants quality and nice sound and not hurting the wallet!! Value: Well worth the price!!! Manufacturer Support: Called one time and they helped me with my questions The Wow Factor: Feels good in your hands,action on fret board is smooth.

Back to Product Information
Sound: i've played guitar for three years, this was my first guitar. it has an awesome sound for a beginner guitar. i quickly replaced the amp, though. if you buy this, purchase a small peavey amp. it'll sound a ton better. Feature: the tuner and video that come in this package suck. i bout a korg tuner, it's a smart way to spend 15 dollars. i wish the guitar had dual tone knobs, instead of just one. the neck of the guitar is very comfortable. Quality: ibanez is an awesome guitar company. they've been around forever. the guitar is very well-finished, and nothing is loose. you might want to pop off the volume and tone knobs, though, because the plastic to sheild the pickguard gets stuck under it. the worst aspect is the amp, which sucks. i'll keep this guitar for a while. Value: i think it should be 50 bucks cheaper because of the amp. it isn't really worth how ever much it contributes to the price of this package Manufacturer Support: never dealt with support because i never had a peoblem. wink. The Wow Factor: this is a pretty sexy guitar. it's a very nice feel to it, especially the neck. i think that's the most comforable feature of the guitar Overall: i think i'll stick with this guitar until i have enough to buy an epiphone les paul. i would never sell this great guitar, nor stop playing it. if it was stolen, i'd buy a new guitar, but that's only because i've been playing for 3 years. if it was stolen after 1

Sound: use the dean markley blue steel strings! Feature: The best accessory is the Amp. You need a new chord. upgrade it ASAP Quality: This guitar is well built. It is built to last. I will keep mine forever. As with any product you may need repairs depending on your care of the product. This one is built to last as long as you take proper care. Value: The best value!!! I shopped for months before my puchase. No other guitar company will put together as good a package for the price!! The Wow Factor: best cosmetics for the price. Overall: This is built to last! I am very happy with this purchase. I will buy Ibanez again and again. To build my collection as finances become available.

Back to Product Information
Sound: i really like this guitar even though it was my first. the sound is great and it is easy to play. it's not to big so you feel comfortable playing it. the practice amp isn't the loudest but it is good quality and easy to pick the settings. i'm in a band and this guitar is way better than the other guitars that i have used. Feature: it came with a gig bag, two cords, six picks, a strap, a fuzz box, a lesson book, a video tape, a tuner with batteries, and there was other stuff but i can't exactly remember. the tuner was really useful because i don't have a good enough ear yet to tune my guitar. i really didn't use the lesson book that much because i wanted to learn by my self. Overall: i simply love this guitar and the package it came in. it came with everything i needed.

Ease of Use: simple to set up, easy to get good sound. Quality: very well made guitar, amp is sturdy. Value: excellent value, the guitar alone is worth the price of the entire pack. Overall: well worth the money. the best pack you can get for the money when you are starting out on guitar.

Sound: The sound is great. The drive is a little fuzzy if you make it too loud. i guess what i'm sayin is you need to get a diff amp.

I like to use cord charts becuz im a beginer and like putting 2gether my own stuff Quality: This guitar is very durable ive dropped it a few times and nothing brroke. Another guitar ive bought from silvertone i accidentally dropped and the neck broke off almost comepletely.../HOW CHEAP Value: This guitar is great for the $$ it should cost more Manufacturer Support: never been used The Wow Factor: it gets boring after a while.

Back to Product Information
Sound: it sounds great but ditch the amp...it sux. I only play it on the bridge humbucker and kicks a@#. It can play a wide range of music(I only play classic rock and it works good wih a peavey amp)it sounds even better with some Ernie Ball Hybrid slinkies Feature: since the accessories sucked i'd say the guitar is the best one. You need to get a new cable(mine quit after 4 hours of being out of the box) and a new amp but to hold you over till you get a new one take the back of it off. The tuners ok but only works when it wants too. Quality: the only thing wrong with mine is that out of the box it had some dents but were only noticable at a certain angle....it doesnt bother me as long as it works Value: it was worth all the pennies my dad spent on it but if i know that the accessories sucked i would have just bought a guitar and other things needed to play seperately Manufacturer Support: havent needed any support The Wow Factor: the black looks great the blue looks like it in the pictures but the red looks ugly. The headstock looks cool too Overall: i might sell it to buy an epi sg but only too get some money...i wanna keep it forever

Sound: I'm just starting, but the sound sounded pretty good to me. I had it on a practice amp, so i assume it would sound better if you got a good amp. The amp that comes with this is pretty much a standard practice amp. It isn't great. Feature: The guitar had a five way switch and a control for sound and tone, and it had a nice finish. Quality: I'd say this pack is the best quality you could get for this price. It sounds just like one of my friends much more expensive guitars Value: The value is amazing, you get everything from a quiality guitar and gig bag to a tuner. Even a DVD

Sound: it sounds pretty good, however the amp stopped working about 2 years after i bought it :( Feature: now the ibanez jumpstart comes with headphones and the guitar is available in more colors - when i bought mine those things weren't included and it was 60$ more expensive. one thing i did receive was the tuner which also stopped working. this became frustraing because i'm careful with my stuff and it just randomly stopped working one day... Quality: the guitar is excellent. it's actually the only thing in this package that is still working. and the new price is worth the guitar alone. Value: yes it's worth the guitar. Manufacturer Support: i've had no problems with anyone whatsoever Overall: i'm satisfied with the guitar.
