I was very hesitant to even consider this guitar because of the price haha but I figured what the heck, you only live once and zZounds gave me a great deal on it. I always wanted a multicolor Universe but the other colors were just gaudy looking IMO. When I saw this one I fell in love! And wait until you see it in person! It is the best looking guitar I have ever laid eyes on as far as paint job goes. There was some issues with the paint around the input jack, as you sometimes see on the premium version Ibanez. I was rather disappointed in this considering it is a limited run collector's item (Supposedly only like 38 of each are being sold in the US). I ended up returning the guitar because of this because I felt that the guitar should be perfect for the price point and because it is a collector item. It played pretty well out of the box. The pickups I felt were mediocre. Overall, This was the guitar of my dreams for months as I debated buying it and when I got it, that special something just wasn't there. Couple that with the fact that they don't even give you an Ibanez multi tool (just a few random allen wrenches), a bad experience I had with the delivery and the input jack defect and I just decided this isn't the guitar for me. Luckily, zZounds has a great return policy and paid for shipping back and offered me a full refund.
