  • Great guitar
Color: Walnut
Awesome electric guitar for the price! Highly recommended!

  • Best sound quality and playability for the money
Color: Walnut
The media could not be loaded. This is a great playing and sounding guitar for the money.And I am no novice. I have played electric guitar off and on for over 50 years. I have not played in the past two years because I was disheartened over the quality of the cheaper guitars I was toying with and getting rid of. I have had Gibsons and fenders, both real and copies. The Fender telecaster affinity I purchased four years ago was heavy and did not live up to the expectations of my 2011 American telecaster I once had. And my Mexican Fender Stratocaster would never stay in tune and was junk. My last electric guitar was a 2009 Gibson SG I purchased off of eBay which played fairly well , but it did not "wow" me, so I lost interest once again and got rid of it. Now that I have the interest to play again, I started looking at guitars again. The Gibsons and Fenders have become ridiculously overpriced priced. So....Comparing the cheaper guitar reviews online for Epiphone, Schecter, and others, this Ibanez clearly stands out. It has a great look with the walnut wood grain, (although cheaply finished). It still looks great. The two humbucking pick-ups work well together with the five position switch. And the best part is this guitar STAYS IN TUNE. So this cheap Chinese made Ibanez guitar actually sounds and plays as well as my former American telecaster. It has reinvigorated my interest in playing. My fingertips are sore. I will likely switch out the strings to a lighter gauge so I can bend notes easier, but the action is well set and I would not readjust it.. So... bottom line, I love this guitar! ... show more

  • Good guitar for the money, shame UPS beat it up in transit
Color: Walnut
My rating for the guitar and seller are 5stars! The seller shipped out the exact guitar listed. The features and description they provided was spot on! The guitar itself is EASY to play. This is coming from a beginner also. The neck is slick and easy to maneuver around on. The action was set good from the start and the frets are finished nicely and even. My gripe is with the shipping company who beat this box up containing this guitar. UPS leaves it at my garage and just walks off while I am saying hey this box seems roughed up. No response from driver and the company takes no responsibility for the damage they caused in transit. There is a significant dent to the edge of the body just above the rear strap connection point. There is also a significant ding to the headstock, which I would say is NEVER good. Again! NOT THE SELLER’S FAULT. This is damage from careless handling in transit. Craftsmanship of this entry level guitar is off the charts. With the obvious rough handling in shipping this thing has ZERO issues being played. The neck is true even after taking a shot in shipping that chipped the headstock. It plays very easily and has no issues with intonation or the action. If Ibanez’s low end guitars are built this well, I can’t wait to try out some of the higher end stuff. I have nicknamed this guitar times, as it took a beating and kept on jamming. This also makes this guitar a dang good bang for the buck guitar. You get a durable guitar, with solid features that is super playable right out of the beat up box. This also makes this a great option for beginners also. You aren’t going to waste time and money having to get the action setup. You aren’t going to waste time with anything you don’t want to. Just open it up and start learning to play. I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about this guitar for the price. I thought, well if it is cheaply made, I can just send it back. I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised. I have even tried a few songs with very low, drop B tuning, and this guitar has done great holding tune even down low. I did catch a little fret buzz in drop B, but I mean the action was never touched, so it is surprising it want horrible that down tuned. All in all, I am super happy with he seller and the guitar! Both have exceeded my expectations! ... show more

  • good value at pricepoint. playable, comfortable in lap. pleasent sounding. Cosmetic problems in body
Color: Walnut
good value for the money. sounds good,nice to play, well balanced and sits in the lap comfortably. The specific individual I received had cosmetic issues of mismatched boards that were very obvious with a natural wood finish. Painted finish might have been a different outcome.

  • Wonderful guitar!
Color: Metallic Gray Sunburst
Great product by far! First off the Guitar was delivered earlier than expected, the packaging looked great, and the guitar body was free of any chafing or scratches. I was very pleased as soon as I opened the box. This is way more than I expected for 200 bucks. I know this is not a top of the line electric guitar like Gibson or Schecter but you know what? It feels great, it plays great, and it looks great! The fretboard is easy to plant fingers on. The strings are a nice, looser set so it's not too difficult for even beginners to play. I will say that with this guitar you have to be careful where you set it as the tuning knobs for the B and e strings may press up against either the table or wall that it happens to be laid upon causing it to come out of tune. No big deal but the fact that when I pulled the guitar from the box and started tuning to standard it was hardly off. The distributor and delivery staff take very much care and pride in their work. I was in no way expecting it to show up almost in tune after traveling across the country! A+++++ ... show more

  • Worth it!
Color: Metallic Gray Sunburst
This Ibanez guitar has a rich beautiful sound, great quality, easy to play! Every note comes threw clean. My first guitar is a krataxon and it's alright but it's like a tricycle vs. A motorcycle!! Great purchase, worth it!!
