Value For Money : Excellent
I will not repeat the description very well in the other opinion. I find the thin neck for a classic. The finishes are perfectible, mine has two small lacks polish on the table. a very important element is the presence of an adjustment bar in the handle dual action which is accessed through the soundhole. Not trivial for a classic and very useful as you'll see! Two mechanical squeak terribly and make the brass filings show they are twisted in their seats. Very low string action for a classic, unfortunately too low! But for all the violin is good for the price. There's something for his money sound and especially the integrated tuner is a very valuable addition.

UTILIZATION

This is where things get complicated: my guitar was delivered with a handle unplayable "tight" to death who was curling strings dice the third box. Several full turns to the left of the bar (!!!) adjustment handle allowed me to make up the "crimping" of several boxes to the canopy, giving the "hollow" in the leg but that was not enough: j 'I removed the nut of the tailpiece and paste below a small rosewood shim 2 mm to find the chord height. Finally as the guitar is playable and in addition hold softens the sound of the piezo when plugged. Retransmits it still all sounds manipulation. Now the guitar is very nice and good (for the price of course!). I confirm that the original strings are too soft and lacked punch in the bass. Sounds great

SOUNDS

medium without projection of sound, the bass is rather weak and too flexible strings of origin do not help. The poor quality of the table there is no doubt for many.

OVERALL OPINION

I received this guitar here four days for my daughter who starts. Fortunately, his dad is handy and has some notions of violin if it was a poisoned chalice "It is outrageous that a known brand like Ibanez passes despite its buffer Inspection guitar unplayable delivery without several hours of setting! So prefer buying in stores correspondence and test your guitar if you do not spin as fast as a luthier ... Apart from this warning altogether fundamental is a good little guitar introduction to the report options / unbeatable price (130 euros on mister good deal which by the way Guitar packs its very sparingly; transport hello!) .
