"An Ibanez 12 String that runs with the elite pack"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
the thing I like least about this ibanez is the GOLF TEE looking string pins at the rear. CANT STAND THEM. I prefer when the wood they penetrate has the penetrations from the rear , thus stringing into the back of the wood exiting from holes atop the wood then over the ivory.
Sound
Love the sound. though all the write up regarding the ivorex nut reducing mids and realizing increased lows......hmmmmm. I cant seem to get the E6 string to respond with at least a margin of what the other strings are..........seems I have to beat it with my thumb or pop it and then it seems a tad over played with a slight buzz.....though it's my bad. Do we know what strings come with it.....light....medium......extra light............they seem a tad light and I'm hoping bumping up the gauge a tad will bring the bass resp[onse around.
Features
not quite sure what to make of the DUAL ACTION truss rod.
Ease of Use
Not quite certain in regard to the phase button on the fishman controls.
Quality
such a pretty guitar one tends to be a little more cautious with it thus the stress of that "first ding or scratch+
Value
yes
The Wow Factor
awesome. the inlays, the busy tuning keys. the step design of the nut........wow.

Musical Background:

Active, songwriter, recording
