Sound: This guitar is an amazing deal. It is built like Mick Thompsons guitar: Multilaminate rock maple and walnut neck through, with mahogany body wings wich add warm sweetness to the smooth highs in the neck and reinforcing growling walnut strips. The neck contour is a wizardII So it is very fast, both the body and neck are finished in flat black satin -wich also makes the neck very smooth and faster. It has good pickups but I prefer aftermarket. Feature: I modified the heck out of mine. I replaced the pickups, added a badass aftermarket pickguard, replaced the controls, replaced the bridge and added locking 40:01 lsr tuners. So I can shred until my strings go bad. Ease of Use: Very straight forward to the point masses of drive, tone and sustain. Is very controllable and now I have the best guitar I have ever owned. I easily swapped the pickups, bridge, tuners, and controls to change the sound. I easily modded the looks to my personaly tastes with a sweet pickguard and knobs. Quality: This guitar is top of the line built you can't go any higher it will last as long as you take care of it. Everything is in order everything stays the same. It is a satin finish so if you take your pick to it you will see it just like if you take your key to your car you are going to see it. Value: Ibanez has realy done right with making the ultimate affordable neckthru. Manufacturer Support: This is why Ibanez built a guitar of this quality so you won't have to contact them. The Wow Factor: A very gorgeous guitar with a sound that few can compare to after correct pickups are installed. Overall: This is absolutely the best overall guitar Ibanez has to offer period. All the appointments are agreeable all the build, construction ,wood materials are the best. Also with just the right amount of room in the right places to modify the way you want it. its incredible. The sound literally crushes anything on the market with your pickups. The neck through rock-maple walnut reinforced wizard II neck with string through body mounting and mahogany body with roswood and deluxe sharkfin inlays sound incredible. This is an absolutely no nonesense Professional series guitar.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: The neck thru gives u more sustain, of course the hambuckers are hot,They said Dimarzio makes for ibanez.. to play rock or metal, dont expect a crystal cleans ,i can get stryper sounds, or guns n roses distortion, the cleans are respetable tough,nice hot crunch just what i need, lacks a little on the harmonics naturals and artificials... but distorted with a nice amp you will be happy, tough i dont know other pups, these ones are just like the v8 v7 Feature: When i bought it ,it was totally new, no minor scratches, or stuff original tags etc..i was looking for a fixed bridge guitar and this is for me, you dont need features with a neck thru guitar, it is designed to play those Randy rhoads solos, or full bends, i love the abalone pearl sharktooth inlays, the black flat is very sensible to scratches TAKE CARE OF YOUR GUITAR, always clean after playing, this is not a guitar to play everyday , this is a "Hey lend me your guitar to play a little" 2 much personality Quality: I never tough i would pay 500 bucks for a KOREAN guitar but this one is very special, have to see it in person to believe it, the finish are great, all the parts feel very strong, the tuners also , you got the same ibanez dents but thats not something to worry .. Is a very "Touch me" guitar Value: I got it with discount and is a neck thru(expensive guitars) i think time will tell if it really was expensive or not The Wow Factor: This guitar was "love at first sight " i was about to buy another one and suddenly saw this in the store ..i got it with discount, so as i traveled 3 hours from another country to buy it , this must be a dream come true...the RG shape is the sexiest on earth...Shes my cherry pie hahaha
