Published on 12/31/11 at 11:31Ibanez guitars are fairly inexpensive and the really marketed at the budgie musician in mind. They really have a great feel and tone for what you're getting and the amount of money that is put into a decent instrument. You usually can find these guitars for right around $200-$600 depending on the features and all the bells and whistles involved. That's a pretty good price for a great sounding and very comfortable playing guitar. One of the things I really love about the Ibanez guitars is the comfortability of their neck profiles. Ever really smooth neck and that fretboard is very smooth and nice for someone who likes play hard rock or metal type chick. That is one of the best selling factors in these guitars is that the next very well built for comfort and speed.

SOUNDS
The tone of these guitars is not really the highlight of the instrument. These guitars are really built for two types of people in mind, the person who is on a budget and needs a good rocking guitar, and the second person would be the metal or hard rock type player who wants to speed value Internet profiles. Many of the Ibanez necks have a very smooth and sweet back that that enables the guitarist to play very quickly and efficiently throughout the fretboard. So you will see a lot of metal musicians and hard rock guys lean towards the Ibanez guitars not because of the value of the price point but because of the convenience and ease of play that comes with these instruments. These guitar sound fantastic with most high again applications but not very good any clean setting. So if you're using a fender amplifier of some sort and you so you're probably running a clean setting you're not going to get a very soulful smooth sparkly tone. These guitars don't have a lot of clean bluesy type soul but they really excel at the overloaded saturated high gain amplification.
OVERALL OPINION
You can find these guitars fairly easily and they're very common throughout the world. You can find them in many used classified sections on forums and very easily on eBay and other auction sites. I highly recommend these guitars anyone is on a budget but also someone you want a very speed like neck for soloing in lead type playing. At new they come in right around 4600 but they have been discontinued but some are still out there for new.
