Review: What’s not to like about an Ibanez guitar? Looks great, plays great and is affordable. - Ibanez, what can I say? Always a great guitar no matter the price point it feels like. This one came in one day delivery, delivered with care, and when I opened it, it was packed well,practically tuned;just needed to tune a few strings. The sound is great. The feel is fantastic. I really like the feel of the neck and fretboard on Ibanez guitars. I have an entry level RG I got about 20 years ago, that is still a great guitar; I expect just the same from this. The color scheme is nice and tasteful in my opinion and it plays so easy. I'll be trading in my fender Stratocaster, I just never got use to it. Nice job Ibanez. Nice job desertcart, too,with the shipping–the thing arrived the next day in as good as condition as I would imagine a guitar could. Guitar came packed very well I thought.
Review: A fantastic guitar worth getting. - First of all this is a very beautiful guitar with a flat black finish and red accents all around with a red pick guard. Second of all I had it shipped to me, and out of the box it was very well set up. The only thing that I had to do was adjust the truss rod on the neck. Surprisingly it was mostly in tune. The frets were also filed down. You don’t see that in alot of other guitars, even in guitar shops.Especially the squire guitars. The neck is some kind of wood from New Zealand and it plays very similar to the wizard III necks on the RG guitars. It does play very fast. It also does not buzz anywhere on the entire neck. The pick ups seem to be very generic, not the Ibanez infinity pick ups. Clean sounds very good, but on overdrive and or distortion it gets a bit muddy. I plan on replacing the bridge pick up anyway. All in all this is a fantastic guitar and I would highly recommend it for a beginner to intermediate.It seems to serve all purposes.
