I got this thing brand new off ebay for $100 delivered, I figured for that price why not add it to the collection. Let me tell ya, if you don't have alot of green for guitar, buy this one. It will cover you from novice to playing out. It's simple, stays in tune, doesn't break strings and will wail. I'm playing it through a Marshall half stack and I can dial in any tone from vintage surf to screaming metal (as Ibanez is known for). Mine came setup from the dealer (action/intonation was dead on for me, I tuned it and plugged in. The stock humbuckers work fine, but you can easily swap em out. The pots and jack are solid, no looseness or solder issues like most inexpensive guitars. I own alot of big name custom shop guitars, this axe sits next to em. In fact I've been using it exclusively on my latest recording project. My 1st, not last Ibanez. Highly recommend this one over just about any 500-600 dollar guitar. Do yourself a favor, get this and put the money you save into a better amp or other gear. The only thing I can't comment on is customer service, haven't had to use it.
