Sound quality is nothing short of amazing. I have not changed the pickups or altered the setup in any way, except for changing the strings and minor spring adjustments. I play mostly hard rock/metal, and it has never let me down.

I love the Edge III tremolo, everyone has their different opinions of it and of floating tremolos in general, but if know how to maintain them, it really is a great system.

I have a line 6 100 watt amp and a Zoom G1XN effects box w/pedal, and while I had to learn how to use the Zoom in conjunction with the amp, the guitar itself neve let me down - by this I mean the pickups and volume/treble controls blended right in.

I believe it was made exceptionally well, and as I said after 2 years it is still just as great as it was out of box. I would love to say it could last foreve, but I don't want to jinx myself lol.

I have been playing since I was 10 years old, I am now 42. Not proffesionally, just a hobby .

Anything that rocks - Classic, hard, metal. What the hell is chillwave ragtime?

The 5 way pickup adjuster gives you a variety of deep or rich tones perfect for metal. Even playing through a cheap amp, this guitar still sounds good.

This guitar includes an extra spring, an instrument cable, and the hex wrenches to fix, repair, and maintain your guitar. The only thing I noticed was some extra glue on the frets from the fret metal, which can be easily taken off without harm to your guitar.

The sounds this guitar produces is perfect for metal. The only thing people might not like is that the stock action on the guitar is so low you have to play lightly to not get string buzz. That can be easily adjusted though at your local guitar shop ( or you can do it yourself ).

Everything on this guitar is good quality. The only thing I would recommend to do is get and install straplok's on your guitar so you don't drop it accidentally. The finish is very easlily scratched though, so you need to be careful.

I would have paid way more for this guitar than the price on Zzounds. Very nice guitar.

The Zzounds support is the worst I've ever dealt with in my life. Every time I called to fix a problem with my order ( which was around 15 times.... ), the problem was not fixed and a new problem was made. If you're going to order items from this company, do yourself a favor and order off the website so you don't have to deal with their horrible support.

The black hardware and sharktooth inlays make this guitar scream "METAL!"

This thing screams. I have a 70s' SG Deluxe, Stratocasters, etc. and this thing has it's own personality!

It came new with a good manual, all of the hex wrenches and extra springs. Very suprised for a unit in this price range.

Plays beatifully. Had to redo initial set up, Rose has a mind of its own. Once set up correctly it was ok. Stays in tune forever.

Guitar was better than one I paid a lot more for. Couldn't build or assemble one for wahat I paid.

This is a lot of guitar for the money. Don't be afraid because price is low.

Have not needed.

It's a nice addition to my guitars. The sound is pretty versatile. I use it where I normally would switch with another guitar.

rock, blues, alternative or anything that intrests me

The sound is really good for hard rock or metal. The pick-ups are very high output but not too noisy. I was very impressed when I first started playing it. The harmonics are not fantastic but it does rock like a mother *#^%@$! It is very geared toward players who love distortion and may not be as versitile as say a strat or gibson les paul. If you love to shred though there can be no better tool!

This is one of the best and cheapest guitars you can find with a good floyd rose. In fact now that I think of it it's just about the only guitar you can get for that price that has a good working floyd rose. A buddy of mine has a floyd rose knock-off that was made using inferrior materials. The Edge III is known for being a very good knock-off and it functions beautifully. The larger frets are just about the only drawback. I like the medium jumbo frets found on the mexican strats a little better but it's not a very big deal. This is merely a personal preference so take this with a grain of salt. Other than that I fell like what else can you possibly ask for in any guitar, especially one that costs this little?

This doesn't really apply so I'll give it a 10

Excellent Quality. I love the way this thing feels and how it sounds. It is extremely solid and the hardware is just outstanding. The knobs have an almost sentual smoothness to them. As far as I'm concerned it feels like a guitar you might buy for $1000. In fact I really don't ever see a need to upgrade. Spending more would simply be a waste of money to me. I love this thing!

Selling a guitar this good for this price seems like it can't be real. The floyd rose is amazing, the pick-ups sound just as good to me as after market pick-ups, and it plays and feels like one of the best guitars I've ever owned. An amazing deal for any type of guitar player.

Haven't had to use it since the guitar hasn't had any problems

The only drawback is that it only comes in a few colors unlike entry level strats. I would have loved to have gotten this in white or pearl white. The black looks good though. As I said it feels like a $1000 guitar. The styling is definetly tuned for those who are into metal more than anything else. The look and sound may not be as versitle as a strat or les paul. Then again is whammy bars stunts and whaling solos are your thing, you would be hard pressed to find anything better!

Metal, shred, and folk

well the stock pickups got a lot warmth and some chunk and the single is great so if you are not picky and just like playing than don't change a thing but for the perfect heavy metal setup get an dimarzio d-sonic or seymor duncan diablo for the brige an emg for the neck postion and a hum canceling single coil in the middle drop D tune it (if you want to) and walla perfect for whatever kind of metal you play. but if you are lookin for a cheap way to get the steve vai sound just swap pickups and drop in his dimarzio signature pickups and that should do it.now lets say you wanna play everything don't change a thing just get coil taps for the humbuckers.

in short no complaints here about anthing but ONE thing. Color choices see from what i know you only get to choose from about 3 colors. Metallic navy, black the most popular choice of the 3 from what I know anyway (mine is black} and a very bright Electric blue as ibanez calls it.I would like to see at least some red white and silvers in there but thats just me.so I say it needs little more in the way of color choice but mechanically its great comes with everything you need. well if you like customize your guitar at least it's great axe to start building off of to get whatever it is you want.

well the trem you have to mess around with until you get it where you want it but once there it's a BLAST. playabilty this thing is great I have to say ibanez stepped up to the plate with this one the neck is face melting fast but yet it can suttle if you want it to. you can play jazz, blues, and even country on it the neck is perfect for whatever you play.

IBANEZ has been known for their TOP OF THE LINE quality this thing is built like a tank you can throw any kind abuse at it and any kind of music you wanna play it will go there. It is built so tough you can push the trem bar to the body and watch the strings drop so low there dangling and then let go of the bar and keep playing. now thats a tough trem and no it won't wreck it. Hay like they say steve vai plays a very similer model of ibanez and you should see what he does to his guitars. ibanez guitars are japanese and you know japan great attention to detail and quality

THIS IS THE MOST GUITAR FOR THE BUCK YOU WILL FIND PERIOD.

The Pick ups are ok...its just not the sound that im looking for...all though i don't mind its something that i can live with for now eventually i will probably switch to emgs or sd's...btw great clean sound

This guitar came with an extra spring a few allen wrenches and a trem bar...One thing like about this guitar is the edge III bridge, many don't like it but you have to be patient with any floating tremolo system...you just got to look and see how the mechanics work. Also i love the wizard II neck and the black stream version of the guitar

This guitar is pretty easy to use easy to get a good sound when you finally get it tuned...the only thing is again with the floating tremolo's be patient and mess around a little with it and look up forums if you get stuck

I think the quality is awesome in this guitar...it could definitley be a professional guitar if you change the pick ups and get very comfortable with it

this product could be sold for 600+ easily im just glad the price is where it is now

not yet....I've just searched the web for answers

OH the black stream is beautiful and gives a really nice finished hot look to it

Ive been playing for 20 years and am stuck on classical and jazz rock...but, I am a huge vai and satch fan. I have an array of fenders and gibsons but they just didnt cut it for satch and vai covers so i picked this guitar up. Sounds incredible...i couldnt believe something that sounded so good right out of the factory was so cheap.

Obviously the pickups arent EMG actives or anything but they are still quite decent pickups and the 5 way switch makes a large sound difference too. The tremelo is fun to.

By far the easiest guitar ive ever played...seriously.

Very solid...i dropped it down 3 stairs on the first day i had it and it was still in tune after.

Great price for a lot of guitar

Never had to call them.

I ususally never give stock pickups a 10 on 10 but the 2005 Diamrzio powered INF pickups are so bloody good that you need to play on them to actually feel the goodness. Output seems pretty high and the overall sound is tight. Note: Ive changed the stock pickups of all 12guitars I own but these will stay.

Just wish this thing came with a gigbag. THe new EDGEIII bridge is extremely good. Holds tune well.

i don know of it cause i've never had to get in touch wit em as such

all

the pickup switch and configurations give you a strat and a les p plus 2 combinations of single blade mixes for a creamy humbucker sound with brilliance... i wouldnt want pickups any hotter because the stock setup is matched and balanced so the combinations are smooth transitions... my amps and effects do the distorting and shaping of what is a verrry smooth sound from the stock pickups

came all put together - the tremelo is great, can set each string - i took off the lockers, it stays in tune well enough....... i retune all the time anyway...

seems good enough, the folks who want tank parts will be happy with the metal knobs, which have no effect on sound

dont know

its a perfect marriage of a les paul and a strat. the neck is what i've been searching for. It's an electric guitar that takes the physical limitations out of playing, basicly, it's now up to me, as the instrument offers no obstacle to playing.......... the wizard neck is fabulous! i have several good guitars, and only play this one now....

The guitar sounds good but the tremolo is so flimsy if your hand even brushes against it the sound will change becouse of the tension in the strings, and bending one string will cause all the other strings sound to change from the tremolo lifting up

The guitar came with a cord and allen wrenches which is good

The guitar looks well but there was some small things like in the back it looks like a screw driver slid off a screw and scrached a small spot next to it and another one was in so tight it started to crack the finish

If it was more solid it would be worth the price

I have not contacted the company but I assume I could if I needed to

It is obviosly meant for rock music and thats what it sounds best with but you can use it for everthing. It helps you to achieve the perfect sound if it's in tune and it dosent go out of tune very easily either. All in all its an amazing guitar!!!!!!!!! GET 1 NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has got great features it's looks are unbeatable in the Ibanez range it truly is a great guitar.

As i've already said it looks graet and my friend has had his for nearly a year of non stop playing and it still makes the perfect sound. Amazingly well constructed guitar.

It is great value for money you wont get better for that price.

Ibanez are fabulas they are so friendly and they know exactly what you need but i only needed to see them once about replacing one wire otherwise the guitar hasnt gone rong at all.

The courlor of the electric blue stands out in any cround and shape just makes you want go out and buy it it looks perfect.

hobbyist

mainly rock

Personally, I think this guitar has a great sound to it. But I think that it would have much more appeal if it had EMG or Seymour Duncan pickups. Overall, this guitar has a cool edgey sound you are looking for, for the average hard rocker or metal head.

It came fully assembled, not much accessories except for spare parts and a whammy bar. This guitar has everything you need except for a case and a strap.

The frets on this guitar are awesome! They give you plenty of space for your fingers and I really dig the shark tooth fret inlays. Its really easy to play and very comfortable. All you need to do is switch on which pickups you want to use and rock out.

One of Ibanez's Best to me. This guitar is worth much more than what I payed for it. Again, the pickups are not bad for the price but you can easily change that.

This guitar could easily be sold for +$600. And I bought it for $450. YOU DO THE MATH!

I had problems w/ the shipping and asked them to fix it. Well, they didn't but it still arrived at my house so...I'm not complaining.

First of all, I bought the black w/ the grey stream tribal graphics and when I pulled it out of the box, I just stared at it with awe. This guitar has the coolest paint job especially for an Ibanez. Since Ibanez is such a good brand in guitars, I decided to try it out. Overall It is a great guitar and I would suggest this one to anyone that wants one.

Definitivamente suena diacachimba!, jamas habia logrado que mis riff sonaran mejor, ahora yo creo sonar como los grandes.

Bueno la verdad es que esta guitarra trae todas las mierdas que necesitaba para sonar mejor, buenos trastes, las pastillas suenan diaverga muy potentes y sencibles, la verdad es que con menos esfuerzo consigo sacar notas que con mi guitarra anterior eran casi imposibles, los trastes de tipo Jumbo me cuadran. Ha y el Floyd Rose esta bastante excelente.

Uuuuuuuuu! ahora soy un Dios del olimpo, el manual de usuario casi no dice nada puesto que es el mismo que tren todas las guitarra Ibanez pero bueno en internet otros usuarios si que ayudan bastante.

It's guitar. So unless you don't know how to play one, it's extremely easy.

Brilliant! Made of decent woods. Maintains its tune. Great action. Although the strings got caught in my sack hairs while performing the reverse monkey dive with my neighbor's wife. Ouch! But apart from that, it is great quality!

Good value. Great product!

This is the bomb. You have to get one and rock! I'm serious, dude/dudette. This is well worth your hard earned cash. If you're into metal as much as I am (and I'm a nut), you've got to purchase one now. Just keep it away from your sack and you'll be fine.

rock alternative rockabilly

Geat heavy metal guitar as well as modern rock. It can handle blues pretty well too but its built more for rock/heavy metal/grunge. I play mine through a line 6 spider IV 120 and this thing is awesome. Had to change the strings right away when I got it because two were dead. I put in a set of Skinny top heavy bottom ernie ball strings and all I can say is WOW!!!! setup was a pain but once you get it its stays in tune well even when punishing the guitar with Guns-N-Roses or Metallica like I do. The neck is easy to play and action is good and low for easy play pickups do very well. my only suggestion is read how to setup this guitar and keep your bridge level when setting up. Otherwise a great investment this is one heck of a guitar for the money.

Features are great you just need a good amp to bring out this guitars full potential. I use a line 6 spider IV 120 and this thing rocks.

Neck is smooth and fast very easy to play. "LOW Action"

No problems yet, very well built.

I don't think you could beat it definitely worth the money

Very good techs for getting the guitar setup with the heavier grade strings.

Everybody loves my guitar even has a guy try to swipe it after a gathering with friends. I get comments on it all the time, and when your playing it will definitely turn your head, comparable to guitars costing 3-4 times more.

It sounds great! I am still in the process of trying to find "my sound"...which is metal. It is good for metal but I have yet to find a setting that makes me pop. I wish it had active pups, somehow in my choosing it I failed to see it didn't.

The locks don't seem to lock very well.

As stated, it's been 15 years since I played. Guitar is no bicycle!!! I am having to relearn quite a bit.

It seems well made. The biggest issue seems to be tuning. As I said, it arrived out of tune. Upon tuning it I noticed the locks were loose. I have retuned it several time since....the low E seems to keep going out of tune for some reason.

As a $300-400 guitar would be fine, but as it is creeping towards $500 it begins to exceed it's worth.

Not really. In fact my wife was surprised I got something so plain looking.

Rock

Here's how it is. Every time I play another guitar, I think about how much I like this one better because of it's ease of use and great sound palette. After slamming on a few axes at a local music store, I went home and plugged in my Ibanez.I was immediately answered with a searing rock tone much more refined than that of the ones I had played earlier. I swear this guitar sounds good through almost any amp! The range of sounds extends fom jazzy to bluesy, rock and metal and any thing else on the planet thanks to the great humbuckers and the single coil in the middle. The tone is also much sweeter than every other guitar out there

The only downfall is the Floyd Rose Tremolo bridge which is a pain in the proverbial neck to tune. I highly recommend that the trem block be blocked up with wood or some thing if you rest your hand on the bridge, or hate tuning lots. On the other hand, the action and the playability are great!!

No problems whatsoever hardware wise; the hardware is stellar, man. My only quibble is that the wicked shark tooth inlays (not shark fin) had a little bit of glue seepage around the edges, but I'm sure that this was the only one that had that.

This is a wicked deal for a guitar of this stature!!! I've had proffessional musicians use it and give very high compliments, and most wished they had one too!

I had a bit of trouble actually finding one but in the end it all worked out and I got a killer deal like no other!

I totally dig the shark tooth inlays (you have no idea how sick I am of dots!), and the shape is very ergonomic. The cutaways are shaped like a Strat's but they are deeper and better looking. Plus the sharp edges and Navy Metallic paint give it flare, and style.

profficient shredder, and hobbyist type thing

This guitar is pretty much capable of any sound and it just owns.i use a line 6 spider III and it sounds amazing with all the presets.

METAL ALL TEH WAY

I am a beginner that likes hard rock and metal , thus why I bought this guitar.Its very affordable and sounds great............my amp is a Crate GFX-212T @ 120 watts w/ built in dsp w/ 16 effects...........Iam thinking about replacing the crate custom speakers w/ some Mesa Black Shadows.Possibly another 4 speaker rack below , I'll see.

I ponder the use of different pickups sometimes , but the Inf. are fine for now...........I wish the tremolo bar was more positioned at 6 o clock instead of free wheeling.

Easy to play , the harmonics are superb.............once again Iam a beginner and heck bar chords are hard.

Very well made for the price.

I havnt seen a better deal than this period, well I got a Gax 70 too that I will be replacing the pickups , input jack , and selector switch.

Ive made 2 purchases and its all is good.Zzounds.com that is.

Dual humbuckers and single coil are a great combination

I have owned Ibanez before for 12+ years and have never had a problem

I didn't expect much for the money, I needed a third and fourth guitar to go with Les Pauls and acoustic, but when this arrived I put the LP collection away, and perhaps for quite a while. So much lighter and the Floyd Rose is great

I am sure I will never find out

R&B

Perfect for metal. Clean or distorted, either way it sounds brilliant. A slight hum on the single coil, but i can live with that. This delivers all the way.

Upgraded pickups for the 2005 model are excellent. And the edge pro III is in a class of it's own.

Superior quality hardware. Factory setup was perfect, the finish, oh my god, was brilliant to say the absolute least. Just be a bit careful, dont drop it or anything, because if it scratches it can take away the complete appeal of the instrument.

You get what you pay for. Very good value.

Havent dealt with them, but i'm sure ibanez does a great job.

One of the sexiest guitars in black. I love it.

Hobbyist

Metal, metal and some more metal.

Full, lots of treble, great for sharp riffs and harmonics. Feedbacks a bit easily though.

The INFS Pickups are pretty sweet, although i would like a better acoustic tone for the clean channel. The tremolo bar holder is a bit dodgy as well, in a sense that the bar gradullay comes looser and looser and eventully starts rocking in the how no matter how tight you it. The Floyd Rose style tremolo system isnt the best, but it works.

Due to the string height near the nut being quite far, the first and second frets can be a bit painful to press, especially in 6 string bar chords. Unibends are nearly impossible, as the brdige giving it too easily, it lowers the pitch of the strings, so you'll efficiently loose half a step on a bend. Shredding at the higheer frets (above 12th) is fairly easy other wise.

This thing has spent more time in the shop then in my home. Within the first 2 days the bridge was shot, and i had to go get the strings that it was tearing up replaced, the neck adjusted (it had caved in), and the springs tightened. Then, about 4 days after I got it back from that, the bolts on the locking nut stripped, I had to get those cut off and replaced. I get it back, and the same night, the rear humbucker, FALLS OUT OF THE GUITAR. So I get that fixed. Now, ona guitar thats meant for use with a whammy bar, the use of it very nwo and then (end bending strings) creates a loud cracking sound, and cracks are appearring in body of the guitar around where the neck connects to it. All within 2 and a half months.

I might just have a bum gutiar, but i payed 500 bucks for this thing, and it's relly screwing up big time.

Have not been able to contact Ibanez.

It's a damn sexy guitar. Sleek, black, sharp looking. But I'm a guy that needs playability and durability, whihc this thing doesnt deliver to well on.

This guitar sounds ok for a beginner guitar.

When set up, the neck on this guitar is VERY fast since its a wizard II.

The quality of the wood on this thing SUCKS. I adjusted the springs on it and the wood just broke. Also, the bridge is one GIANT PIECE OF CRAP because the metal it is made of is just the worst thing to use. The pickups dont sound too good either. I have to replace my rg370dx after a year of playing it because it is just falling apart on me.

It's not bad for the price (except if you buy the fancy paint job

i like the pick-ups ,and with the 5 way switch you can go from blues to metal in a snap.

got some allen keys and a spring. "GIG BAGS" would it kill IBENAZ and some of the other companys out there to throw in a $24.99 gig bag. IBENAZ gives them out with their $199.99 jump start sets along with picks ,and an amp. stop cheap out on us.

for me the personally i found the edge 111 tremelo to be a pain in the neck. i read other reviews and they were all positive. so i probably just wasn't patient enough.

it's a beautiful guitar. looks like IBENAZ really paid attention to detail. it kind of brings up my point about lack of a gig bag.

I am a beginner that likes hard rock and metal , thus why I bought this guitar.Its very affordable and sounds great............my amp is a Crate GFX-212T @ 120 watts w/ built in dsp w/ 16 effects...........Iam thinking about replacing the crate custom speakers w/ some Mesa Black Shadows.Possibly another 4 speaker rack below , I'll see.

I ponder the use of different pickups sometimes , but the Inf. are fine for now...........I wish the tremolo bar was more positioned at 6 o clock instead of free wheeling.

Easy to play , the harmonics are superb.............once again Iam a beginner and heck bar chords are hard.

Very well made for the price.

I havnt seen a better deal than this period, well I got a Gax 70 too that I will be replacing the pickups , input jack , and selector switch.

Ive made 2 purchases and its all is good.Zzounds.com that is.

Had to have it , blk of course.

You can get A LOT of sounds out of it. From attacky sounds, to more of a chunk in metal. Responds well with my Boss pedals. Just need to get a stack amp. But so far, i love it.

Pretty much has everything i've ever wanted in a guitar. Tremolo=love! <3

It's easy, but it seriously takes time to get the sound you want out of it. Bright side, you could pretty much get any sound out of it. First I tuned it for a Daron Malakian sound, then switched it again for a Kurt Cobain melody sound. Sure makes me happy.

It's so well made, i'm afraid of scratching it. What really bugs me is that there's a gap inside of the pickups, so dust gets into it.

Honestly, this thing took a long time to buy. My job doesn't even pay well, so paying off bills and saving money for this was a real pain. Maybe i'm just poor, but it was worth it.

It's Ibanez. These guys truly do care about their customers.

Honestly, if i took this guitar in public, I would get laid in a heartbeat. Haha i wish, but this truly fits my style as a metalhead and all sorts of etc music.

The sound is awesome for metal players and shredders, I think it would respond better live. It delivers a precise and heavy sound even when it is under heavy distortion, you don't even need a noise supressor.

The features are my favorite part, the floyd system is very awesome for tune maintenance and the tremolo is pretty fun.

The price is awesome for the quality of this instrument

As i am left handed i don't have much pf a choice concerning the color, but i would definitely buy it.

Excellent sound and range of sound

Excellent tremolo.

Fine looking axe

This guitar is awsome and it should be sold at a higher price, maybe the Ibanez worker made an error on the price :P

This guitar come with a cheap cable and all you need to make adjustment it's pretty nice

The sound is awesome especially if u put some slinky's on it and remember IT IS FACTORY SET UP TO 9'S

allen renches got to love em it came with all the stuff u needed to customize it

product made almost perfect just be carefull not to drop it due to the bridge pickup falling

it is worth the price

the warranty is awesome they fix the pickup thing for free!!!!!!!!!!!!! and who said nothing in life is free?

The sound totally rocks. I have a fender amp and it sounds awsome.

love the trem

definatlly the best guitar I ever played

worth every penny

if the support is as good as the guitar. never had to use it.
