"I love this guitar"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
A must buy for the price/ease of use/quality. Sounds even better with the Ibanez Troubador acoustic amp!
Sound
Smooth sound for the pricetag
Features
Fishman pickups, AEG SS equalizer, and elixir strings come standard. Can't beat that.
Quality
It's an Ibanez. Although mine came with a small chip near the guitar hole, it did not affect the sound. The only other complaint I have is the tuning. It needs tuned more frequently than most acoustics I have used.
Value
Cheap price, many features not found on more expensive guitars, and easy to play. I am very happy with this baby.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to contact support, but I would imagine a high-profile company like Ibanez would have good support if needed.
The Wow Factor
Have not had sex with it yet. Give me a couple jaeger bombs and who knows?

"The most guitar for the money in it's price range! Buy this guitar!"
Overall, this is simply the most guitar you're going to find for the money in this price range!
Sound
Sounds great right out of the box, but I'd put a set of your favorite quality strings on it right away. The arched back gives it more projection than you would expect from such a slim depth.
Features
Great amplification and sounds quite good as an acoustic for the size. Only guitar at this price with truly quality pickup and components.
Quality
Quality seems to be good. The finish is quite nice and it seems well put together. The only thing I didn't like about it was the lack of a second strap button on the body; I don't like to tie them on the neck. But my dealer put one on for free!
Value
This is the primary reason I bought it. I checked it out first and compared it to just about everything. While you can certainly buy better guitars and cheaper guitars, this one is the most guitar for the money in this price range.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to use it yet. But Ibanez has a nice web site!
The Wow Factor
It looks and feels great! I bought the black finish and it's just a knockout! Nice finish, sexy shape, Looks so good!

"Carefully consider your needs before buying this guitar."
This is an okay guitar to learn on, and probably semi-competitive with other acoustic-electrics in this price range. But do yourself a favor and play some others before you decide on buying this one. If you have any desire to play much unplugged, around the campfire, etc definitely go with a larger body guitar. If all you do is play thru an amp, then it may be a decent buy.
Sound
Unamplified, this guitar gets a "2" in my book. It's very quiet, thin, almost tinny.
Amplified, I give it a "6". After messing around with EQs on the guitar and your amp/PA, I found an acceptable sound.
So overall, I give it a 4 on sound. Definitely keep on light strings to avoid buzzing and other sound-related issues.
Features
Nice finish and appearance. I added a black pickguard, and a strap button on the body since it didn't come with either of these. The electronics are very nice, and allow good control of the sound, especially nice for a guitar of this price.
Ease of Use
The thin body makes it light and comfortable to play, especially to learn on. However, this feature also really limits the sound and capability as you progress to a more skilled guitarist. Electronics are straightforward.
Quality
After owning for 6 years, I've been disappointed in the quality. Initially it seemed okay, although maybe I just didn't know any better since this was the first guitar I purchased. Intonation is and has always been a little off on the high E string. Also have some buzzing on the low strings, especially when playing with a capo. The finish is cracking where the neck joins with the body. Also, the bridge is starting to lift where it is glued to the soundboard -- although this last one could be my fault from leaving it in the sun and hot trunk of a car a few too many times!
Value
For an acoustic guitar, you can do way better for the money.
For an acoustic-electric, it may be worth looking at. I would suggest coughing up a few more bucks for a solid-top acoustic-electric if you can afford it.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't ever dealt with the Ibanez factory, although I would assume they are okay.
The Wow Factor
Good looks, and the Fishman electronics add some appeal. But the looks and brand name defintely don't carry over to the sound quality.
