I got this guitar second hand off e-bay and paid £110.

This guitar is a really good Starter guitar it has a nice neck,i now have a EDR which i have paid £500 for an the neck aint that much better!The pickups are quite good to considering they are only standard. Nice shape nice action to.On the single coil it has a absolutly lovely clean sound GREAT for funk/jazz.

Well for starters when you get down to the lower frets eg 20/21 and you try and bend the notes the guitar just carnt take it but after all its only a starter guitar. It dont sound to bad on over drive but on clean the majority of bends dont sound nice(i have raised the action nothing works it is just the neck rises).

This is...…

This is a tuff little guitar the amount of times i dropped it bangged it and it sounds the same and looks the same as when i bought it.

Great starter guitar! Especially for those up and coming shredders but for the more experienced players spend that little bit more.

I bought this guitar as my second electric, upgrading from a poor les paul copy. I payed £180 for it from nevada my local music shop.

I have to say i do really the thin necks as there easy for small hands to get around. Also it is very light making it easy to play. As a begginner this guitar is great and has a pretty good sound for the price. Stays in tune well and comes with humbuckers, which im a fan of. Also it has a very low action so the strings are nice and close to the fretboard.

I have a few problems with tone and volume controls. a few of them have came lose but easily fixed. also the input came lose and did not work for a while. but also easily fixed after tightening parts...…

I have a few problems with tone and volume controls. a few of them have came lose but easily fixed. also the input came lose and did not work for a while. but also easily fixed after tightening parts inside. Another problem were the parts you put your strap on comign lose and falling out. I got this sorted out at my local store but it soon came lose again. I fixed this myself after by putting a wall plug into the hole then screwing the strap holders back in and have had no more trouble.

The quality of the woods and the neck/fretboard/headstock kinda things seem to be good quality. But the little thing like the tone and volume controls and the strap holder sna input are not good at all. but all is easily fixed. overall failry good quality

Good guitar for the price. A few faults but thats on my guitar. Dont let that put you off there easily fixed and then your left with a good guitar.

Try one out there definitly worth the money.

I gave it a 3 because there are much better guitars out there. but this is got to be one of the best in this price range.

I got this guitar for £140 reduced from £180. It felt nice to play in the shop and it looked great. This was my first guitar and since then i have brought 3 other guitars, but the ibanez is still the one i use most.

It sounds really heavy when i plug it into my roland cube 30 and crank up the gain.It has a nice thick tone.
The controls are simple to use and it looks the business

The only complaint i have is that i miss it when i have to go to school.

It can take one hell of a beating...i've had it for 2 years now and its as good as new. Its been dropped on several occasions and still doesnt have a scratch on it....
although if you dont wipe it down a lot then you get finger marks...…

although if you dont wipe it down a lot then you get finger marks which show up badld.

A great guitar for beginners as its so easy to pick up and play and it will last you for ages.
