Pros & Cons
Pros
This guitar is by no means perfect, which you can't achieve perfect for the price. The build quality is nice and there are no glaring blemishes present. Great price point for a beginner, quality of an ibanez.
The coloration and the guitar itself is gorgeous. Looks really nice with blue marbled paint.
It has a fairly mellow sound, nice and clear but not really bright. Rich sounding notes, and no humm or buzzing even on an old amp. I am already about a third faster on those african guitar licks and the sound can be as clean and pristine as i might w... Read More
The knobs glide smoothly and the pickup switch feels solid and switches cleanly. It does have a pretty strong output level (ceramic pickups, i believe). The pickups are worth the price of the guitar.
Came well packaged and surprisingly close to in tune. Craftsmanship seems good, i haven't noticed and imperfections or anything yet. Bought as a xmas gift but had to plug it in and test it out first.
Cons
The entire guitar feels cheaply made. The fret work is absolutely terrible. The specs listed here for the type of woods used are all incorrect.
Highlights
Quality
Great craftmanship, solid feel, and good sound.
The sound is absolutely fantastic and the fret board is so easy to play and get a crisp sound.
The nut (made of plastic) is filed too deep on high e string.
This guitar came out of the box like it had been set up.
Price
Easily worth $199 and five stars in this review.
It's a great guitar for the price.
It can get expensive and maybe even addictive, trust me :)
I already have a nice guitar but wanted something inexpensive for under $300 as a second guitar & got this.
Shipping
Shipped fast & sounds good right out of the box.
Packaging/appearance
Beautiful and pretty much ready to go right out of the box.
Ibanez makes great guitars and it arrived well packed too.
Came with a decent set up out of the box.
Took it out the box and i just had to tune it and it was ready play.
Competitiveness
He felt that it was similar in playing characteristics to his stratocaster that cost three times as much.
