Published on 01/28/03 at 15:00Ebay - $400 brand new with case.
The look and the feel of this guitar is amazing. Especially since i was used to the bulkiness of acoustic guitars. The neck couldn't be any better. The smooth thin neck allows for quick and effortless chord changes as well as shredding with no speed limits. The "Edge" tremelo is possibly the best Floyd Rose system you can get on any guitar and it stays in tune wonderfuly, even after many bends, dives, and pull ups. The pickups provides a wide array of tones. The V7 humbucker gives you bright, full bodied tone. S1 coil pickup is weak, but gives you decent uncolored sound. V8 humbucker is more twangy sounding, w/ extra midrange and is great for harmonics. Overall, these are very good for stock pickups.
Note sustain isnt as long as most hardtail units. Floyd Rose trem takes awhile to get used to. It makes it harder changing strings and properly tune things up. While i love the Edge trem, the back end of it sticks out a bit, so it can get in the way of playing, although it doesnt bother me the way i play. The center pickup is a bit noisy, but thats expected from single coil pickups.
Minor chrome pitting on the trem hardware, but no big deal. Everything else looked flawless and so far has held up very well. It still looks and plays as well as when I first got it 6 months ago. Edge tremelo is of very high quality and heavy duty, unlike the TRS trems seen on many lower model Ibanezes.
Surprisingly versatile for a guitar that looks like its just made for heavy metal. Very feature rich guitar for the price and the quality to boot.
