Feature:
Good features for the price I've paid. A little bit disappointed by the tunning keys.

Quality:
Satisfied.

Sound:
The sound is almost what I was looking for. It is strong but still warm.

Ease of Use:
The strings were a little bit to far from the fret. This could be impeding for some of the players, but this is dependent on the type of strings you use.

Feature:
I don't utilize the electronics that much, but it does pick up the sound of string movement.

Quality:
this guitar is very sturdy and all together built very well, I no bad comments about the quality.

Value:
I feel I definitely got my money worth on this one, at no time have I been disappointed in my purchase

Desirability:
I have the black version, it looks great and feels great, if I had to make 1 complaint about the looks, it would be to get rid of the white out line, and make it solid black in color.

Sound:
Overall it has an excellent sound, I play can play almost anything on this guitar. I changed the strings to a heavier guage, and now I went back to a lighter.

Ease of Use:
I think the playability is good, I feel the width of the neck could be just a little smaller, but other than that, it feels good in my hands

Support:
Have not needed any support on this guitar

Overall:
I am a play at home guitarist, I have 2 electrics a bass and this acoustic, I mainly play my acoustic with a wide range of music. I love the fact I can go from a little country riff to playing Metallica. If something happend to my Ibanez I would go and get another one IMMEDIATELY !

Feature:
Like I said, a different kind of mike/pickup, would make life a little more pleasant.

Quality:
I rate this guitar a 10 in this category, because I don't think your can buy a better one of this type at this price---and it looks beautiful!

Value:
The best for the price as far as I can see.

Desirability:
I own it. The price, the quality, the ease of play, the looks, etc. made me want it. I already own a Ibanez Strat clone, A Mako copy of an Epiphone jazz guitar, A 1958 Silvertone classical that plays great, and an imported (from Spain) hand made classical that cost $800.00. Each guitar has its own purpose. I didn't have a guitar that would be my special accompaniment guitar, so I bought this one.

Sound:
This is a good guitar. It's a little light on the bass side. I realize that with all the electronic goodies inside, it's going to cut your bass down somewhat. However when plugged into an amp, it's great. Only one problem, the mike picks up the noise that you make when sliding up or down a string, and magnifies it greatly. It needs a different kind of pick-up. Maybe I'll try a plain third string, that's the one that really schreeches.

Ease of Use:
Good action. I didn't have to make any adjustments. The height of the strings is perfect. I have had a dozen guitars and I always had to whittle a little on the brideg and the head. This one is perfect as is.

Support:
I'm rating this section a ten on faith. I never have had a problem, so I don't know well Zzounds does in this area. One suggestion however, PLEASE print "FRAGILE" signs on the boxes that the guitars come in. The UPS driver that delivered my guitar, threw it from the back of the truck to the front, then DROPPED it, and it came tumbling down the stairs of the truck. The guitar came through this without a scratch or other injury. Ibanez builds them tough,and Zzounds, packs the shipping boxes with a lot of bubble material.

Overall:
I would probably look for something with a little more low end. However with the EQ controls on my amp, I can add a little bass if I want to. I am a total soloist. I don't have a bass player or any other musicians around to help.

Feature:
the battery on the preamp is extremely easy to replace, which i like alot

Quality:
put together very well, and the finish is excellent...i bought the blue burst, and trust me, it looks NOTHING like the picture...but that is a good thing, becuase it has an amizing look and feel to the guitar

Value:
easily one of the best guitars ive played, witha GREAT price, probably the best value out there

Desirability:
amazing look, feel, playability (if that's a word), and tone...if i could change one thing, however, i would put in a better, more advanced preamp

Sound:
this has an amazing tone to it. the strings it comes with are a load of crap. after replacing them, it easily has the best tone of any guitar other than a taylor that i have ever played.

Ease of Use:
very low action, very easy and fun to play.

Support:
shipped extremly fast, got here within five days on the normal shipping rate

Overall:
i will use this guitar for a long, long, long time...if it was to break right now, and i had, i guess, about 500+ dollars, i would buy the same guitar, hands down.

Quality:
It just feals cheap. It's light, it's not very easy to play.

Value:
It's not the best guitar, but for the price, it's really good. It's the kind of guitar that you don't have to worry about. It is good enough to preform with, but since it isnt 2 grand, you don't have to be worried every time you pick it up, or leave it somewhere.

Desirability:
This isn't really the kind of guitar that you WANT, but it is a good guitar for a good price

Sound:
It doesn't sound great, but it is good for the price.

Overall:
as I said, great value, ok guitar
