Feature:
I was totally satisfied with my guitar upon purchasing it. I was a little let down that for the $650.00 I paid for it (on sale) that I then had to pay another $100.00 for the case. But it was well worth it. It didn't take me long to see how awesome it was. The holes going straight through the body make for quick and easy string changes and the action on the neck is wicked! The only downfall to this marvelous guitar is that it gets a little heavy during long sets. Otherwise it is incredible!!!

Quality:
I have only owned this guitar for about six months, but I can tell that it is very sturdy and road worthy. I don't have to travel very far to play, But the case I purchased was made exclusively for this guitar, and keeps it safe from any damage. I have honestly never seen a guitar so well made in my life. I am actually looking into purchasing another Ibanez very similar to this one other than it is a semi-hollow body. I think I have been bitten by the Ibanez bug!

Value:
I have to honestly say that I got a great deal. I would have, and actually expected to, pay more than I did for this grade of instrument. I went into the store with the option to buy any guitar that I wanted, regardless of the price, and came out with what I still feel was the best guitar I could have purchased!

Desirability:
This is by far the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. I have seen many guitars in my life, but the mother of pearl inlay around the entire body as well as around the head make it stunning. Not to mention the tribal flame inlays on every other fret. I couldn't imagine anything else that could have been added to this masterpeice!

Sound:
I owned nine guitars before purchasing this one. I must admit that this was my first Ibanez. That being said, I have to tell everyone how amazed I was at the sound quality as well as the playability of this beautiful instrument. I don't normally go out of my way to brag about anything, but I have told everyone that I know how great this guitar is and how they should look into purchasing one themselves.

Ease of Use:
I love how versatile this guitar is. I play a number of different genres of music from metalcore to jazz, and this Ibanez is capable of complimenting them all. I also appreciate how easy it plays. I can barley press the frets and get a crystal clear sound. I have had problems in the past with other company's guitars vibrating to much when trying to make chords. I pesonally play through a line six (spider two ) amp. The combination of the two create endless possabilities.

Support:
I am rating the company at the top based on feedback from freinds and other musicians that have dealt with Ibanez for a long time. I also am so impressed with so many of the products they make that I am sure to be one of their biggest fans for years to come.

Overall:
The only reason I am purchasing a different guitar soon, (also an Ibanez), is because I need something with the hollow body sound for the jazz I play as well as the fact that it will be less heavy. I will always play this one even if it does weigh a little more than I'd like. It is worth the sound, versatility, and compliments I get on it's looks!!!

Feature:
There isn't one more thing you could ask of this guitar

Quality:
One of the most beautiful guitars I've ever owned, I'll never sell or trade in this one.

Value:
I would actually expect this guitar to sell for twice what it is selling for. Although I was able to get it for about $80 cheaper than what it is selling for online.

Desirability:
Smooth and sleak like the curves of a woman.

Sound:
From blues to thrash to country this is the ultimate guitar, I love mine, the feel when you are playing is like a hot knife through butter.

Support:
Ibanez makes a good product at an affordable price.

Overall:
Like I said, I'll never sell it.

Feature:
This guitar has all the features I need sometimes less is more, that being said this guitar is just right for me. You have to see and play this guitar to truly appreciate it.

Quality:
Mahogany body and maple top what more could I ask for.

Value:
In comparison to some "high end" guitars this is a steal.I would match this up against any guitar and come out completely satisfied.

Desirability:
sophisticated and romantic very sleek.

Sound:
I have played alot of guitars and once I played this guitar through my line 6 amp they were married.

Ease of Use:
This guitar is very user friendly. I don't have a problem hitting my switches or knobs when strumming.I can access the contols with ease.

Support:
Haven't needed to contact support for anything.

Overall:
This guitar is a keeper, In time I will buy another guitar ( The Ibanez F hole) and my collection will be complete.

Feature:
Great quality components, the mahogony body sounds great, the maple looks amazing...

Quality:
The mother of pearl inlays are beautiful, the guitar itself feels extremely solid, and well made. Only cosmetic thing is that the back is nearly black, and tehrefore prone to scratches.

Value:
I would expect this to sell for MUCH more than it is!

Desirability:
SEXY BEAST!!!!!!!

Sound:
Such an even sound, it resonates nicely and is extremely clear.

Support:
Guitar companies always have lousy support, but... My experiences with Ibanez haven't exactly been wonderful thus far, although that was with a different guitar

Overall:
I expect this guitar to keep me intersted and satisfied for a LONG time to come!

Feature:
Since it's only a three way switch I don't see of using a 5 way anyways. The middle one creates a nice strat sound.

Quality:
It's like a Les Paul.

Value:
For this price it's perfect. It's like a $1000 guitar for only 649.00. It's a steal for this price.

Sound:
The stock pickups are okay since its a Duncan designed pick ups. I'd prefer changing the bridge PU to a JB SD and its sounds heaven.

Ease of Use:
The neck is hella fast and the size is perfect for me. Its very comfortable and roundness of neck is relaxing.

Feature:
The thru-body stringing gives this axe superior sustain and resonance.

Quality:
Visually, everything on this guitar is sound. The finish and inlays are flawless. I did have a scratchy tone knob straight from the music shop.

Value:
It's worth more than you'll have to pay for it!

Desirability:
The flamed top and the inlays make this thing an eye-catcher.

Sound:
Sounds great any way you wanna play it!

Ease of Use:
It sounds good while playing just about anything.

Support:
Never called Ibanez, never had a reason.

Overall:
I'm going to have to wear it out or destroy it before I will part with it. It keeps me satisfied.

Feature:
Not a lot to it. Pretty simple guitar.

Quality:
So far, it really appears to be excellent. No complaints at all and I expect it would withstand a lot of abuse if put up against it.

Value:
Good luck trying to beat the value of this guitar. Excellent deal.

Desirability:
Very practical for what I needed. I wanted something with a good fat sound for rhythm tracks and it fits the bill perfectly. I'll pull out the trusty 760 for the heavy leads.

Sound:
Excellent rhythm guitar which is what I bought it for. Great range of tones you can get out of it.

Ease of Use:
This is no shredder so if that is what you are looking for, find something else. The neck is thick and wide. I compare just about all guitars to my original 1989 760 series. This SZ is a very different guitar.

Support:
Never had to use them.

Overall:
Excellent price, excellent guitar. The only disappointment would be if someone was expecting this to be like the good ol' shredders.

Quality:
the paintjob is incredible.

Desirability:
its sexy. i love the way its built and the paintjob is awsome. it is by far the best guitar i have bought

Sound:
-the sound is very clear, but i can also say it sounds bluesy. the pickups are amazing by the way.

Overall:
i wouldnt change a thing

Feature:
a flame top and set in neck at 600 dollars is a deal, and the neck ain't to shabby either

Quality:
all the electronics work perfectly and was setp out of the box

Value:
it is an EXCELLENT buy, i would recommend this guitar to anyone

Desirability:
the flame top and neck inlays make it very appealing

Sound:
sounds great but i am considering puting in some duncans

Support:
i had a problem with another ibanez of mine and the were a great help

Overall:
if it were stolen i would hunt down and kill that person, but i think it is irreplaceable in terms of my tone and guitar arsenal

Feature:
All most every thing you need to rock out

Quality:
Beutifly crafted

Value:
Sweet guitar sweet price

Desirability:
Eye catching, head turning...

Sound:
One of the sweetest guitars that I have have ever played. light weight, through neck, sweet Ibanez pickups, mother pearl inlays every where. Overall freakin' Sweet!

Overall:
For as long as this baby is around I will continue to like and appriciate it and its sound.
