Feature:
everything it came with was ver useful it had everything for a begginer.just one thing you may want to change the strings to ernie ball classics just my oppinon.

this is a great price for the guitar. you would expect something cheesy for the price.if you like it you should buy it now!!!!!!!!

Desirability:
it is very sexy but could have had some sort of a design. i put guitar pictures on mine.

Sound:
the sound is wicked awsome but occasinally buzzes

"one of the best money can buy"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
with all the accessories it comes with, it is the best starter pack you can get

Quality:
great quality all the way.

Value:
i think its the best starting pack on the market right now

Desirability:
thats why i bought it

Sound:
i am not that familiar with the sounds of guitars, but from what i heard, its the best for the money

Ease of Use:
when i got it in the mail i took it out of the box pluged it in and started playing. Having never set up an electric guitar, its practically fool proof to set up.

Support:
never used them

Overall:
great guitar pack

"A GUITAR THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR YES IT IS ONE OF THOSE LITTLE SATISFYING MOMENTS IN LIFE."

Feature:
yes. the five channel switch. really nothing. i wigh that the plug where you plug in you cord was in a different spot. i really dont'y know but the neck, OMG, it will blow you away at how smooth it is.

Quality:
yes. good, sweeeeet, none that i can find. on a scale of one to five a seven. i depend on it, it never gets an easy play with me. definately. i don't know. mine has lasted a year and is looking toward more.

Value:
oh yeah you get what you pay for in this case.

Desirability:
an 8 tops, it could have been cooler looking. the way that it feels is why i bought it.

Sound:
I would say that tis guitar sounds fantastic for its price. it comes in cryltal clear on my amp. it glides throught the son like wiind through you fingers. the soudnd is amazing. absolutely, it is great when playing in standard tuning or in drop down D tuning for those moments you want to really rock your socks off. i would say that yes it is compatable with my musical style. for some things yes. it sounds clear and responsive. just as amazing if not better. i don't know. wonderful. a new CRATE amp. it still kicks butt. not really it is great the way that it is.

Support:
no. i don't know. i don't know. no. no. no.

Overall:
another three years minimum. if it gets tired then yes. wear it out. better than all others the cream of the crop. yep it sure does. replace it. nothing really. its playabillity. its fretboard color.

"Great guitar all around."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
The instructional DVD could be more informative about the amp.

Quality:
Its a great guitar that looks, sounds, and functions great.

Value:
Everyone that i know has told me that i got an awesomw deal.

Desirability:
It looks and sounds like a more expensive guitar than it actually is.

Sound:
Its a great package for a beginning guitarist. I love it. Dont expect high quality sound from the amp only because its small. Its a great guitar.

Support:
The free shipping is great. It got to my house in 4 business days. The warranties are great as well.

Overall:
I'll be satisfies with this product at an estimated 3 years.

"get one."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
it came with everything to start off with, although i wish it came with different strings, tuner helps out and easy to use. pretty much everything is handy.

Quality:
looks great, still sounds great as the day i bought it. doesnt seem it will break soon, just the normal wear and tear.

Value:
price was great and it shiped fast, if u buy everything seperate it would easy cost $100 or more. but for this price is was worth it.

Desirability:
looks great, that classic look. Its not too extravicant

Sound:
sounds great for what you paid for. some static though :-/ plays clear.

Support:
i assume great although havent had to call them.

Overall:
this is great for beginning guitarist. worth buying it and good quality.

"i own it, i play it - very useful review"

Feature:
cool features. the tuner's very useful - but the video has such a poor quality that you can't watsch it without getting blind. get yourself a book or a teacher to learn how to play - but DO NOT use that video. lol apart from that, there's everything you need to get started.

Quality:
it's okay. the finish's quite good - as long as you don't have a closer look. there were also some sharp plastic edges which caused the e-string to break. if you get rid of that, the quality's alright - it's a guitar you can throw to the floor, almost unbreakable. best quality you can get for that price, i think.

Value:
okay, 10 points here, it isn't too expensive. but you've got to remember: THIS IS A STARTER PACK. it includes everything you need to get started - but if you're an advanced player, you might be a bit disappointed. i recomment it to young and wild starters. ;)

Desirability:
yeah, i want that baby. i've got a black one - and it's so damn sexy. lol

Sound:
the sound isn't that great but maybe that's just the amp. the clean sound channel is okay - but you can't play any (power-)chord with distortion, they all sound the same, no matter what you do. and i ain't a bad player.

Support:
i haven't dealt with ibanez so far. so i can't rate that point.

Overall:
overall - i love it. simply because i love all my guitars. ;) it's fun to play, although that beauty can be a bit complicated. i don't get the classic rock sound i want to have out of it - at least not with the features included in that package (how to get that sound out of that guitar + amp doesn't belong to that review ;) ). when you want a guitar to have fun and make some noise, a guitar that won't complain when it's treated a bit rough - go get it. if you want a guitar that doesn't only look sexy but also sounds great: get some cool effects or a strat.

"I own it, I play it, I'd get another one."

Overall:
I have owned and played this instrument, nearly every day, for over a year now. If a new player is thinking about purchasing something to start out with, this is your guitar. It may have a little fuzz when you first get it but, take it to your local music store and they can fix it easily and quickly. The sound is great. The amp is more than enough for practicing. I would definately purchase another one of these just for the guitar.

Ibanez IJS40 Jumpstart Customer Review

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
I was dissapointed, it had everything except for the picks. the tuner came with it but not the same one that it showed. but over all its a good package, just (the picks werent in the bag)

Quality:
Perfect, some ppl say that it had some loose parts but mine was perfect

Value:
Great price for a great product

Sound:
The sound is amazing, of course im a beginner so as for the amp, you just have to mess with it untill you get that perfect sound that you want to play

"I dont like this"

Feature:
It comes with everything a new guitarist needs to start playing. I was amazed!

Sound:
As far as the sound goes, it is not the best I heard. It sounds very distorted at higher volumes. t does not sound very good with various settings.
