I think everything has been said on this point ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice (for those who love fine Ibanez), fast enough, is access to acute nickel. The guitar is really excellent ergonomics, low weight and excellent overall balance are for many.

SOUNDS

I play on a Line6 Spider II 212 and add just the Zoom 505 Multi effects for his "sound" of 2-3 songs, that is nothing between the guitar and the amp.
Wide range of sounds thanks to the microphones, a group of eclectic covers of Bowie without meaning to ZZ Top, from Springsteen to Neil Young or Tom Petty to Judas Priest, I think we can say that it lends itself to many styles ...
Pickup (double) that hard though (but weak in the treble - height adjustment again no doubt) and micro center and handle clean nickel. I almost always playing on the central position or double-bridge combined.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using less than a year but heavy use (more than 10 hours / week), either by repeating, in concert with me ... I still love this guitar as much. Before that I played on a Yamaha (model 80) and I had the opportunity to "fiddle" the Start and a Gibson Les Paul and other Ibanez. If I had to redo this choice would be closed eyes, certainly. Super affordable, super scratch to me.

Assets:
- The shape, color short, the "mouth" beautiful;
- The holding of the Agreement, (attention, without the use of vibrato), either during the journey, after several hours of play, with decreases / increases in temperature short, CA NA NOT MOVE!
- The sounds, the ergonomics and, last but not least: THE PRICE!

Cons:
- The quality of microphones;
- The quality potentiometers / knobs and jack ... ho hum.

In conclusion, a very good guitar that you think only entry-level but may well delight guitarists experienced and picky.
