Extremely high quality for a budget guitar. Excellent sound. Outstanding finish - I love the red quilted finish. This is the first guitar that I've owned that didn't need to be "Set Up," I took the guitar out of the box, tuned the strings, checked the intonation, and have been happily playing ever sense. It was a pleasure dealing with zZounds!!!

I love this guitar. Purple is my favorite color and a hard one to find good guitars in. It looks great. It feels great and I have yet to find any significant issues with it. No problems with the frets or fret buzz. Action is easy and low. It sounds great with my Positive Grid Spark amp. The pickups sound great. The HSH setup is very versatile. Not the greatest with clean tones like my Stratocaster, but amazing with the right effects.

This guitar arrived as if set up for me. intonation dead on, tuning took seconds and on the provided strings unlike the other guitars I have had, Epiphone, and Gibson this one needed no work, just tune it and play it. If you want to play and not be forced to become a guitar tech or pay one hundreds of dollars to make your new one work this is the way to go.

Okay, in the past months I have purchased and returned two Epiphone Les Paul Special player packs. When I got them they had so many issues I had to return them, bad tuners, bad electronics. I read about Ibanez and thought I would give it a try. Out of the box it took less than a minuet to tune and intonation was dead on. Everything worked and no fret buz anywhere, something neither Les Paul could manage. This is the best deal on a guitar I have ever made. Way underrated and better than anything in the price range.

This was my very first electric guitar after two years of experience on an acoustic. Me having a very little budget the price was perfect for me. It sounded surprisingly good. It is simple to play witch will make it easy for beginners, but you can play fast witch makes it more perfect for intermediates. I love it but in the future when I have a higher budget I will most likely buy a better guitar. Overall really good for the price especially.

I read some of these negative reviews and can't understand what they're talking about. This guitar is probably the best guitar for $200 I ever played , right out of the box it was setup perfectly. All I did was tune it , I've even got the same strings it came with. Which I normally change whenever I get a new guitar. The tuners are unbelievably tight , this guitar barely goes out of tune even if it has been sitting for weeks. Also I never attached the whammy bar , so I can't speak on that throwing it out of tune. Since I have over a dozen guitars I don't usually play it daily , but when I do it always makes me glad I purchased it. This is a very versatile guitar , I play mostly metal and this thing shreds. But I also play blues and it sounds just as good as my custom strat. I bought an Epiphone SG special in the same price range and let's just say the setup is night and day , the tuners absolutely sucked , "already replaced them" and the intonation was off. It was a mess , I've already put it on Craig's list and bought a G400 Pro instead , 10x better quality and setup , but I digress. I've got many high priced guitars but always go back to the GRX , the playability and neck feels so comfortable to play. The only thing I'm going to do eventually is throw in a Seymour Duncan humbucker and I'm definitely keeping this guitar. I don't know how Ibanez can sell this for $200 and keep the quality , but I'm certainly not going to complain. Whether you're a beginner or experienced this guitar delivers. Definitely will be purchasing another Ibanez down the road.

I've had one for almost a year. As a beginner it's capable to learn on maybe do a lot more as I get better but for the price ($200.00) I couldn't pass it up and am glad I didn't.

Guitar was delivered on time. Color did not match description - rather than transparent blue burst it was dull purple. Zzounds accepted the return and refunded the purchase price without any issues. Very good experience but still didn't get what I wanted.

According to Guitar Center this Guitar is junk! there words when I brought it in for some work. I immediately took it back and did the work myself. It plays well enough for me. The fret board needed adjustment along with some minor fret work.
