Feature:
just clean, easy to use and no confusion as to which button or awitch to use, all straitforward.Again,the mahogony body combined with the wizard maple neck offer the best wood combinations available. And the INF humbuckers were a great addition for the versitle tones and added sustain.

Quality:
I always check out craftsmenship on anything that I buy as do most people. Cosmetically it is very clean and nothing out of whack. The reliability remains to be seen as I just got it but mahogany and maple---What could go wrong?I would not hesitate to take it on the road as it feels sturdier than my strat. I have a deluxe players strat.And due to the fact that my rg has no finish, my guess is that it will outlast my honey blond strat.

Value:
If you are a musician, you know by trying the product immeadiatly if it is worth the price or not. Ibanez mid priced guitars are worth every cent as the quality from my experience, usually surpasses the price. They seem to either hold or exceed their value.

Desirability:
Once again the mahogany body and dual humbucker setup were very appealing, the bound wizard II neck is a marvel in and of itself. It makes great music with very little effort.

Sound:
First and most importantly i would characterize the sound as somewhat dirty through a clean amp.no crystal bell ringing sounds in any pickup position after adjusting pickup height.The sound quality would depend upon the style of music that you prefer to play.For example, blues played through the bridge pickup in the first position is dirty and reminiscent of stevie ray, and no distortion is needed if you have your volume up and treble knob all the way on. If you turn down the volume a bit and roll back some on the tone a bit, now you have BB King. If your amp has built in distortion,again on the bridge wide open treble all on, you can pull some pretty good metal and the wiz II neck really adds great distorted hammer ons and pull offs and the sustain rings forever and a day. In either mode I just described, your pick attack will really shine through enormously which is why I'm sure the luthiers at ibanez decided to use the INF3 and INF4 in thier infinate wisdom regarding pickup choice for this versitle axe.I love a bolted on maple neck (espically the wizard II) in combination with the fantastic tonal and sustain lasting abilities that you can only get from mahogany. Check your Gibson body's and Warmoth replacement bodies and a great deal of quality manufacturers out there who insist on nothing but mahogony.There is a reason.My music styles range between rock (old and new) blues,Jazz and country and this axe plays them all beautifully. This guitar and an epiphone blues amplifier w\lady luck speakers would be a match made in heaven. I hihgly recommend that, if you are searching for a guitar and you like mahogany teamed up with humbuckers and the renound wizard neck, this guitar deserves a close look, it is priced fairly,it is old school,very clean,easy to play, bound wizard neck and dual humbuckers that with the onboard conrols, can take you anywhere you want to go.

Ease of Use:
easy to use tone and volume controls and the pickup selector is just like that of a strat. the bound wizard II neck provides unprecedented action on a guitar of this price.making the playability most commonly described as butter.I also use a digitec rp 50 which i use on all of my setups as it works great and was very inexpensive and enables me to coax any sound I desire from my new rg321 guitar.

Support:
I have not had any reason as yet to deal with Ibanez and I have owned different Ibanez guitars in the past and have never had a problem with any of them.At one time I owned one of the very first les paul copies that Ibanez ever distributed when they first came out and it ended up worth more then a Gibson. It was a black beauty Ibanez and I wish that I still had it.I am no stranger to Ibanez, I am 59 years old and play a guitar every day and if Ibanez werent any good I would not continue to buy their products. I also own an original Ibanez rock and play which has been used almost weekly since it was new at least 10 years ago.

Overall:
I feel that I'm always looking and that some things can be more appealing then others, for excample, in the past I would look for fancy looking guitars that were eye appealing to the crowd, but once you learn the bread and butter of it, you want a guitar that sounds great and plays better for your certain style and after trying this guitar it pleased me in every way that I was looking for and, as such, I bought it.If it were lost or stolen I would seek to replace it with another of the same.

Feature:
For the cost there isn't a guitar that comes close. I played a show with mine right out of the box and tore up the stage..It felt and sounded great....Loud and distorted...the God inteneded

Quality:
Really very very good

Value:
For this good of an axe it is dirt cheap

Desirability:
The raw wood look is very minimalist..it says " i play this guitar because of the tone"

Sound:
You can't beat the tonal superioirity of this guitar. DON"T let the price fool you..this guitar is all quality and plays like butter..rip away... The smooth satin mahogany body is not heavy..it is more comfortable than the nickel painted version which weighs 2 pounds more for some odd reason. They are both fantastic guitars with super fast necks . The pickups are not the best...if you change them out for $140 with DiMarzios the guitar is now worth $1000. It just sings...

Ease of Use:
No Problem shred away my friend

Support:
No problems

Overall:
Quality fast deep bottom pinched harmonics..it's got it all for the price BUY 2..I did

Feature:
I love the way this thing is set up. The best of both worlds. I like a bolt on maple neck and I love a mahogany body. The bridge is like a hardtail on a Robert Cray Strat. Nothing extra that isn't needed

Quality:
Well built, much better crafstmanship than the Squiers and Epiphones of the world for the same price or more. I give it a nine because I wish Ibanez would come up with a classier headstock. The chrome logo is pretty sweet.

Value:
you can't buy a better guitar for the money, period

Desirability:
Killer natural look must see to appreciate but I find the headstock hard to love

Sound:
This thing just rings on forever, a ton of sustain and tone

Ease of Use:
You can pull harmonics out of this thing with ease and hold notes forever, playability is fantastic, it's like a Les Paul in a Strat body. I give it a 9 only because I prefer a single-coil at the neck but I can certainly live with that.

Support:
They neeed support?

Overall:
Don,t plan on looking for another guitar this does everything I need

Feature:
5-way pickup switching, brilliant fixed bridge which just about never goes out of tune, INF3 and INF4 pickups, volume and tone knobs. Overall it's quite basic, but great for a beginner.

Quality:
I've had this guitar now for about 2 years, and so far I've had only one problem. I know 2 people other than myself who have this guitar, and 2 out of 3 of us had this problem. The soldering inside the connector jack of the guitar is very weak, and broke off on our guitars, so when we plugged in our cables, we only got a very loud buzzing sound. The problem itself is a quick fix if you have a soldering iron handy. It took me about 10minutes to fix it, and since then I haven't had any other problems with it. Other than this, the guitars quality is perfect. Theres no loose bits, the neck doesn't warp, and I've had no problems with the bridge.

Value:
The reason I got this guitar was because it was inexpensive, it sounded great, and I thought to myself I'll just get another guitar in about 3 years when I think I might need better for on stage and recording. So far I've found I don't actually need another guitar, but there's always something better out there.

Desirability:
This guitar doesn't necessarily look like Jessica Alba but when you play it for the first time it's unique feeling and tone will surprise you. It's more sexy to play than to look at, that's for sure.

Sound:
For the price, there is probably no better sound on the market. This guitar has a warm clean sound and a chunky and heavy distorted sound thanks to its INF3 and INF4 pickups. The 5-way pickup switch makes this guitar great for many styles, although i would mostly recommend this guitar for those in the metal genre, because it's distorted sound is overall it's best quality.

Ease of Use:
It's very very simple. Use the INF3 switch for warm sounds, use both the INF3 and INF4 for a balanced rhythm sound, and use the INF4 for more attack. If you're into pinch harmonics, use the INF4 pickup for the best sustain and clarity. Generally I use the INF4 the most, because i play metal.

Support:
So far I haven't had to deal with support.

Overall:
I'm very satisfied with this product, and Ibanez should be very proud of this model too. It was worth the buy, and no other guitar brand seems to be able to sell us a guitar in this price range with the same value, in my opinion. If you one day think you'll end up owning a guitar with a tremolo bridge then i wouldn't recommend this guitar, simply because the fixed bridge is very different and you might have trouble getting used to palm muting on a tremolo bridge, after the ease of palm muting on the fixed bridge.

Feature:
the componant selection is perfect. all the gear gives it great sustain and the blue colour is awesome. it looks black in the dark and changes between blue and green in the light. only thing i wish it had would be shark tooth inlays, but that is personal preference so you cant really count that =p lovely neck too, its smooth and allows for good, fast movement and control of play

Quality:
good quality, perfectly smooth finish with no faults that i can see. very reliable so far, but i've only had it for 6 months ^.^ sturdy as anything really with the solid body, so i dont worry that its going to break. i would gig with this if i got the opportunity.

Value:
again, not 10 as i dont know enough about pricing for guitars, but hey it worked for me. seems to be a very good deal for money however! totally worth every penny!

Desirability:
saw it in the shop window... then it was mine! i had only been playing guitar for about 2 months at the time - that should say a thing or two. the colour of 'royal blue' is particularly impressive for the tonal range which i didnt really notice until i brought it (as mentioned before). that really made it all the more worth the while. all the guitars ive seen are plain black or something, not a funky colour like this one!

Sound:
definitly better sound quality over my old fender squire guitar. the strings don't even buzz unless you really listen and force them too (mainly because of the humbuckler pickups - yay!) cant give this ten or anything cause ive not had enough experience, but i'd certainly say it sounds beautiful, with reallllly good sustain.

Ease of Use:
definitely easy to use! even a new guitarist could pick this up and play it without any trouble with maintenance... pretty much what i've done. the only thing i'd say got me was when i re-strung it. the bridge didnt sit flat but being a novice i probably did something wrong but it was easy to correct again so not a problem if new guitarists are planning on getting this guitar.

Support:
never dealt with the company, had this for quite a while now and no major problems.

Overall:
not going to replace this for a very long time. maybe the pickups if i want to get different sounds, but you really wouldnt need to change them other than for that reason. i wouldnt mind a tremolo guitar like the S470 or something at some point but im going to see if i can just get an effects pedal for this stuff first. its too nice to just replace for a new one already, certainly going to keep it going for much longer!

Feature:
now.. i rate this at a 10 mainly because i'm pretty much just a meat and potatoes kind of guy. 5 way switch, 2 knobs, and it never goes out of tune. There is timeless beauty in simplicity i don't like to chain 100 FX pedals, have 10 different switches on the guitar, or have 1000 different knobs on the amp with so called infinite settings. 5 way switch, 2 knobs, strings thru body set bridge and it never goes out of tune. There is timeless beauty in simplicity.

Quality:
well i'll score it high for now just because i haven't had it for that long. but as it goes now, its a sturdy feeling guitar, the truss rod reacts well to adjustments and string tensions, the frets are well dressed, and all the internal wiring is well organized leaving plenty of room for any changes you want to make.

Value:
For the little amount of money i paid for this guitar is priceless, brand new, heavy sounding, fast playing, esthetically appealing piece of equipment.

Desirability:
the guitar is actually pretty plain.. matte black satin finish, no bindings, no flashy inlays, gunmetal knobs and pickup rings.. but the naturalness gives it a sort of girl next door kinda beauty. which is a refreshing breeze compared to the "makeup" showpieces like i had mentioned before, There is timeless beauty in simplicity.

Sound:
wonderfully warm and buttery smooth bottom end with easy to hear notes. standard dimarzio designed pickups do a good job, i switched the bridge pickup with a seymour duncan JB4 however just for that extra clarity for my Death metal style music.

Ease of Use:
wonderful feeling guitar, the balance is great when you sit down, or strap it on and stand up and rock out, plays REAL fast top to bottom. the jumbo frets make the guitar feel real fast as well as the barewood feel on the neck. no sticky feeling you would get with a gloss finish the cleaning and maintenance of this piece is nice due to the satin finish. NO FINGER SMUDGES

Support:
this my first ibanez so .. who knows?

Overall:
Keep in mind, the scores are given exactly as how i feel the guitar performed in eacfh field. I bumped it up to a 10 also because of the PRICE. YOU GET SO MUCH GUITAR FOR SO LITTLE MONEY. the way this guitar is playing and sounding now, i will probably play this guitar until it returns to the earth (breaks down) This is the perfect guitar for someone like me, and will not bother to look for a different guitar for as long as this is going ot be built and distributed. If it was lost or stolen, i would replace it with the same guitar or if i was feeling particularly the next step up which is the RGT42DXFX. its pretty much the same guitar with a few more perks. The only think i wish i had known about this guitar before i bought it was the fact that it existed. i would have bought this guitar years ago.

Feature:
nice,simple and reliable

Quality:
I would say that the surfice of the body is the cheapest part,every thing else is great.

Value:
Its a very good deal for the price.

Sound:
This guitar has a good solid heavy sound due to the fixed bridge and humbucker setup,wich is great for heavymetal,rock,funk and blues in my opinion.I use 10 gauge strings

Ease of Use:
its easy

Overall:
I may get rg370dx aswell but this is a complecation free work hores with out the tremalo B.S.

Feature:
Simple design, is easy to change strings and stays in tune.

Quality:
Ibanez always impresses me with their quality control and design features. The laminated wizard II neck is really excellent!

Desirability:
Even as a seasoned professional, I like these inexpensive yet nice-playing guitars from Ibanez.

Sound:
Very close to professional pickups.

Support:
never had to deal with them

Overall:
I love all my Ibanez guitars for their playability and value.

Feature:
the pickups are amazing if u want to sound like kirk this is the guitar and the wood body makes it sound smooth and thick

Quality:
the wood version that i have is kinda chiping away after a wile if u get the wood oil frequently other than that awesome!

Value:
great price u aint gona find anything this good for this price

Desirability:
looks awesome sounds awesome y not?

Sound:
sounds amazing!!! it has a smooth buttery kind of sound that i love. great for jazz and best for rock.

Ease of Use:
fret board is outstandingly close to the stings great for rock and hammer-ons

Support:
great for everything!

Overall:
overall great sound.that is the important thing and i guess u cant beat the price buy now.or i'll hit u:).
