« Not too bad »

Ibanez is really known their great sounding tube screamer overdrive/distortion pedals. They're also quite well known for their inexpensive and budget friendly guitars. While most of their guitars range from around $200-$600 they do feature in nice line of prestige model instruments. They are a little bit better built better quality wood and a overall a better balance and feel.

SOUNDS


The tone of the prestige Ibanez guitars are very good. They have a nice warm balance tone that feels very good when you get it in front of a high gain amplifier such as a Bogner, Marshall, or Mesa boogie amplifier. These guitars have a great warmth and really blends well with many styles of music. However, most of the Ibanez guitar users veer towards the hard rock to metal side of music. So this guitar is not good to get you a very good clean sound that you would find for my Fender telecaster or a fender Stratocaster but it's going to give you a great feel and a great sound for pretty much any style of music but primarily for the hard rock and metal users.

OVERALL OPINION


These guitars you can find new for right around $1200 or so. It's not a bad price for a good quality instrument if you're in the market for a nice shredding guitar. The nice mahogany body wood with the maple top is quite gorgeous. I recommend this guitar for anyone who wants a nice fast neck that is very easy to play. The necks are great and the comfort is where this guitar really shines.
