I'd like for my daughter to use it for at least 2 years and if she still wants to play and has progressed enough I'll buy her a better guitar for some one who is a little more advanced.
Sound
I bought the Ibanez IJX40 Jumpstart for my daughter for a birthday gift. I'm happy with the whole package and my daughter loves playing it. I really believe this is a great little package for a kid or adult for that matter who is just starting to learn basic guitar.
Features
When I ordered the guitar I didn't realize it didn't have a guitar stand, wish it came with one but it's not a deal breaker. I'm going to buy a stand later.
Ease of Use
Like I said earlier, this guitar is great for a beginner. When my daughter gets better and out grows this guitar I will invest in another one.
Quality
Quality seems fine, we've only had it for a few weeks now but so far so good.
Value
The price of the product was fair and reasonable in my opinion.
Manufacturer Support
I have not dealt with Ibanez so I don't know about their customer service.
The Wow Factor
Gift for my daughter so right now I'm not to concerned with "sex appeal" or aesthetic's right now.

i was not satified.
Sound
i think the quality of the instrument is rather poor. i found it to fall out of tune very easily by simply holding the neck. this could be an isolated incident but there was a great difference in sound compared to holding the neck and not and when do you play a guitar without holding the neck.
Features
i think this guitar had the neccesary parts needed to have a great guitar.
Ease of Use
my only complaint was sound.
Quality
this product was either poorly made or poorly assembled.
Value
no not even the on sale price.
Manufacturer Support
no i havent dealt with the company.
The Wow Factor
moderate looks.

Musical Background:

i have been playing for a few months as a hobby

"great place to start, but that's where you'll leave it, if your on a budget this axe will get you through your first year or two"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
playable for the price, definately am going to replace it when my playing breaks through to the NEXT level
Sound
decent for a "learner" guitar, for the money it actually is what you would expect.
Features
the practice amp that came with it humms hard when turned up, but at soft volumes you can get a clean enough sound to practice with
Ease of Use
the amp is basiclly only good for a low volume clean sound for practice
Quality
for the money the guitar is actually pretty well made, but definately something you will outgrow quickly
Value
solid value for a cheap guitar to get your chops up on before investing in a lifelong axe
Manufacturer Support
never needed it yet
The Wow Factor
decent lines
