The sound of the product is nice....But I am not a fan of the pickups...namely the Bridge PU. But I am into high output pickups. I am going to put an Evolution in the bridge, Once I do that I think it will be perfect.

First off The tremolo is amazing. It is very stable, you can do any whammy trick, And it stays in tune like no other. The 5 way switch offers tons of tone combos. The only thing I don't like is I prefer 2 humbuckers, I really don't use the single coil, But it's still fun to have.

It takes a bit to get used to the ZR trem. But besides that...easy.

This thing is built rock solid. It seems like it will last a long time.

It is somewhat expensive, But the guitar is well worth it.

Anytime I have dealt with Ibanez they have responded.

This guitar is just beautiful. I use a Carvin V3 amp and it sounds just killer. I am very happy I got this guitar.

I saw this guitar at a local guitar shop and it made me forget about every other guitar in that store. The guitar really has massive tone, specially in the upper register. Sounds really good playing jazz, classic rock tones, and metal solos. The sound is NOT fat like a paul; it is the thinnest guitar I have ever played. When riffing power chords it doesnt have the full sound a heavier guitar would have. Some thicker gauged strings on bottom may do the trick.

Its pickups really do the job well, you would have to be very picky to change them out. This is my first chance playing a ZR trem and let me say im never going back to a Rose again. Ever. Its like heaven to use. Stays in tune through all the abuse. Gun metal color on the trem and pots great. solidly built guitar. I love the strat-like plug in on the front of the body and not on the bottom.

The sounds are great, and im really sold on the two humbucker one single coil setup that more guitar companies are making. I have a Les Paul standard, Tele, ESP, and this guitar is definetly my most versatile. I can get a Strat sound as well as a great shred sound of my ESP. I will say the most overlooked thing about this guitar is its clean sound. It is CLEAN, and immaculate, full of tone.

Like so many guitars, this is not made in the US. I believe this is setup in Idonesia. But for an asian made guitar, im very impressed. Everything is in perfect working order, all pots were tight, nothing lose, neck positioned correct. Feels solid. This guitar is actually quite heavy for how thin it is.

One of the best values I have seen around. Another solid make by Ibanez, someone who had to win my respect.

Have not dealt with them directly, but Ibanez is a well known, stand out company.

I CAN NOT COMPOSE A SENTENCE THAT DESCRIBES HOW TRULY BEAUTIFUL THIS GUITAR IS. I have never seen a prettier guitar in person than this. Honest. The only thing that would make it prettier is a stripe down the back of the kneck. But seriously, I get complements everywhere I go with this thing.
