Published on 06/26/01 at 15:00This guitar was purchased from Coastal Music in Port Macquarie, Australia. I paid $440 AUD. This was my first guitar, but I paid a little more then most people starting out because I like quality. I dont like the idea of buying another guitar a little while down the track because it's just spending money I dont have.
Excellent construction of the body and neck. The fretboard is extremely nice and it's a great finish. The body of the guitar is well done and in general the guitar looks very nice. It plays very well, and is nice and easy to play (like most electrics). The action seems just right and the strings that come with the guitar are very good. The sound of the guitar is nice also, it depends what you're looking for, but I really like it.
My friend doesn't like the volume knob on the guitar because while he strums it he turns it down. It doesn't bother me as my hand doesn't sit quite where his does, but I understand what he means. If you start to get into your playing you can turn it down, there is nothing worse then stopping where you are to adjust it again. The tuning keys are very easy to be accidently knocked out of tune, which can be a bugger sometimes, expecially when you are putting it in and out of it's case or something similar.
The fretboard is great, I really like the finish on it. The body of the guitar is basic (simple colour) yet it is also finished quite well. Like most electrics I guess.
The guitar is of fantastic quality and finish. The sound is really good and seem it has 2 single coil & 1 humbucker pickup, you have the good sound range. All in all this guitar will suit pretty much anyone. You can see a picture of the guitar at the Ibanez web site along with the specifics and specifications.
I give the rating a # 4 because i'm leaning more to Acoustic guitars. It could have quite easily have been a # 5, but I can't compair it to anything really, as I haven't played a great deal of electrics. Make sure you play one next time you see one, a very nice guitar that isn't a 'budget' low end electric guitar, reasonably priced.
