"Great Value For The Ibanez ARC 300"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Its a keeper....
Sound
Very nice sound out of the box, did require set up for my preference however. I swapped out the pickups to a Tone Zone in the bridge, and an Evolution in the neck...KILLER! Very nice guitar....we'll see how long it lasts and if it will stand up to the test of time. Very comfortable guitar, light yet very responsive. I play Blues and Rock,,,perfect for my style.
Features
Probably could have had only 1 Vol & 1 Tone, bit confusing with the 2 vol 1 tone....I can live with it...
Ease of Use
Very easy to use, as mentioned above, swapped pick ups and 3 way lever to a good quality one.
Quality
Very well made guitar for off shore stuff. Could be a tad bit heavier, more "beefy". I certainly would gig with it...why not??
Value
I got this on a trade.....I really like this guitar. Ive had Strats, Teles and spent thousands on guitars trying to find "the One", I probably will never fin it though, but this guitar is a great value.
Manufacturer Support
Only 9 here to keep the rating.....never dealt with Ibanez.
The Wow Factor
Nice lines and as true to Ibanez, appealing body style. Not rocket science design, very sleek,,,,

Torres Engineering is putting in a S. Duncan JB and Tonestyler rig...judging from what it was to begin with, I expect it to be a pure Les Paul killer when I get it back...it weighs no more than my Teles, the fine tuners are too cool...yeah, I'd hurt somebody who tried to stroll with it
Sound
just fine
Features
off the rack, no case, no anything...somebody was thinking when they designed this
Ease of Use
fretboard seems a bit gritty when bending, but no big deal
Quality
stunning quality
Value
value is off the charts, considerinmg what I paid
Manufacturer Support
have no idea...would like a well-fitted hardshell case for it
The Wow Factor
only because it's not a gold-top
