I had high expectations of this guitar and I heard so much on the Ibanez quality, and I have tried several other Ibanez's guitars, but I was let down by this one, so I sent the guitar back. I know it could just be that one guitar I received, but I don't want to play send the guitar back until I find one that is correct or do I see this as an omen? I purchased a Jackson USA Soloist from zzounds and it is one of the best guitars I have ever played, the feel, looks, sound it has it all!! Sometimes things do work out for the best!

Sound
The DiMarzio pickups really sounded good at low level, but cranked they lost detail and clarity.

Features
Like the 5 way switch with the split coil feature but would have like to have someway to split the individual coils in the 1 and 5 positions.

Ease of Use
Plug it in and play!!!

Quality
Please Note: This is a $2500 guitar. It arrived and I pulled it out of the case and the strings were way over the standard factory setting height. I could stick a pencil under the 6th string at the 12th fret. I checked the neck relief and it was way off. Here is one of my main complaints, I feel I shouldn't have to take a $2500 guitar down for a setup. It should come close from the factory and just need a little tweaking and most guitarist should know how to tweak to their liking. My USA Jackson Soloist was perfect when it arrived. read more I will credit for the finish as it was beautiful and had a nice deep color!

Value
I have a 91 Ibanez RG570 which I love, but the neck is so thin it changes with the weather, so I thought I would upgrade and this model as it had all the features I was looking for and a $1000 dollar price drop. I was thoroughly disappointed in this guitar and compared to other cheaper Ibanez Prestige models can't figure out why this guitar is $1000 more than them?

Manufacturer Support
I cannot comment as to Ibanez support as I sent the guitar back to zzounds which has the best customer service!

The Wow Factor
It is a beautiful guitar!
