"Best choice I've made in online guitar shopping since my 1400 dollar Carvin..."

Sound
Very good, better than expected. I had all sorts of pickup options planned out but now I don't feel very compelled to change from stock.
Features
I hate multiple tone and volume controls. The simple format is a great feature. I don't like where the strap knob it - I will try to have it changed. The knobs are wood!
Ease of Use
Again, simple controls. The action is great too which makes it a breeze to play.
Quality
The best 500 dollar guitar I've played. The frets are a little rough but the action is excellent with no buzz at all. Everything feels quite perfect. One of the knobs is a tiny bit crooked - no biggy.
The Wow Factor
If they made another color in the USA I would buy a second one.

"I've bought better for less."

Sound
The guitar is nice but it already had buzzing past the 12th fret upon arrival which means i'll be putting another 100 bucks in getting the item set up. All the frets needed to be cleaned because they were not bending smooth like they had a coating of something on there. It's pretty looking and sounds ok but there are better options out there. Very disappointed in the product.
Features
3 way switch, only 2 adjustable knobs. I don't need much but I like having more control over the sound. Probably need to have an EQ setup to play with this guitar.
Ease of Use
Needs full fret dressing before I can even play it out.
Quality
Not happy overall. No blemishes on the guitar itself, just fret buzz and dirty frets.
Value
I'd buy something else next time.

Ibanez AJD91 Artcore Customer Review
I bought one of these about five months ago, and I'm absolutely in love with it. I'm not an expert guitar player, but it suits me well enough. It's easy to play, and has an excellent sound. The small number of knobs is great, since it's less to figure out how to work.
About the only bad thing I could say about it is that it doesn't have a whammy bar. =p
