The humbuckers and single coil on this model sound very good. I have recorded some music and the results far exceded what I was expecting. It sounds good and is good for heavy sounds as well as more delicate phrasing.

I love the neck and the Floyd Rose type whammy bar. Like I said before the sound is very good for different styles. The finish shows no signs of flaws; however, there was a very small ding on the fretboard, but it doesn't affect anything. I thought about sending it back until I plugged it in and played it.

I would have given a ten if it had not been for that ding. Other than that it is a very solid instrument.

For the price this is a great guitar. I own a Fender American Strat, A Gibson SG Jr, and a bunch of other guitars, but I keep using this one whe I am recording because I can get any sound that I need without having to get out different guitars.

N/A I haven't needed any help yet.

Blues, Rock, Fusion

The sound coming from both of the humbuckers is great. The neck humbucker sounds almost flawless with a great range of low mid and high. The bridge humbucker is brighter and better for softer rock. Only thing I don't like is that the single coil gives off quite a buzz sometimes but can be greatly utilized with one of the humbuckers to give off a great sound for any soft to heavy rock.

For the price, the features were awesome. 'Nuff said.

When I got it, there were NO cosmetic flaws or electronical. Only thing I came across was when I went to remove the tone knob and out came the entire rod that controls the tone itself. It easily goes back in but I'm not sure if it works the same way as it did.

This is probably the best guitar for it's price range. Pick it up if you're hesitant!

Never have really done any business with them but it does come with a warranty w/ a card you have to fill out.

This guitar looks awesome, feels awesome, plays awesome... what else can I say?

Alternative/Nu-Metal/Hard Rock/Metal

Amazing!!!- I play any kind of metal and even grunge and it is made for it!!! but i must say the pickups are not enough so replaced with DiMarzio Paf Pro... Anyway, it is suitable for everything hard

The pickups as i said, are weak(for pro's of course) and remember it is not japanese..

it is korean, u know.. so dont expect much from it.. but i dont think that it is so bad- enough for beginners

best for this price u can be sure

never dealt to ibanez but 10 for the shopkeeper

sure. it is really hoottt!!!!

Any kind of metal

The pickups don't have a high enough output. If you play metal like me, you will be slightly disappointed.

The edge tremolo sucks, it will not stay in tune.

It's very easy to use and the neck plays great but I just hate the trem and the pickups are not very good.

The edge tremolo is worthless.

Don't waste your money, the guitar is about the same amount as it would cost you to buy an original floyd rose that would actually stay in tune.

I have not dealt with Ibanez directly.

Guitar looks great, but if you buy it you might as well plan on purchasing a new tremolo and some new pickups.

clean,round, and long sweet sustain,more suitable for jazz

bad middle single pick up, plastic tremolo
