MGR/Jon « Ibanez JS100 »
Published on 04/18/03 at 15:00I got this guitar second-hand for £400 but i suspect it was from a women who bought guitars at trade price and sold them on for some profit as she seemed to have practically a shop in her house. Anyway im not complaining as the standard price is £600.
Its a real nice guitar to play, thin neck making movement pretty damn easy and the guitar is real light and comfortable. The sound is great, with these pick-ups i can play blues to some metal.
I havn't found anything wrong or anything that ive disliked as the build quality is pretty damn good. The only thing i dom't like really is the locking system for the strings. It doesn't really bother me a great deal and its pretty necersary if you want to use the tremolo and stay in tune so you can abuse it as much as you like.This is definitely not a guitar for de-tuning.
Build quality is great havn't found anything bad about it yet. Everything is pretty tight and sturdy, for £600 odd thats what you would expect.
This is a great guitar plays really nicely. Make sure you ask questions before you buy it about the locking systems and how to re-string or else you'll probably end up ruining the tremolo system or other damage. If you wanna get a different gauge of strings i was told to ask professional advice. Great guitar and i advise you to get it, unless you can afford something better like a JS100+ or a ..............PRS Singlecut...........
