"WHITE GOLD"

Feature:
With an Earvana compensated nut, an Edge III floating trem, three pickups, AND an abalone pickguard... who WOULDN'T give this guitar lower than a 9? It's absolutely beautiful, especially with the black hardware... you'll be getting complements from all sides.

Quality:
I never really gave Ibanez a chance because I thought their look to be very... well... generic, honestly. I figured they'd sound just like any other standard-shaped guitar. However, I was SORELY mistaken. I finally broke and decided to sit down with one of these "beasts", and within minutes of runs I was entirely won over. The pickups sound brilliant, their D-shaped necks help you play with the speed of light (if that's what you're into...), and they look just plain amazing. I'm telling you, anything you'd expect from a guitar in this price range this monster delivers in spades. It is THE shred machine.

Value:
Simply put, it's a steal.

Desirability:
I own it, and you should, too.

Sound:
From what I've heard, the INFs on this thing sound ripping. I have also been told more than once about how their stock pickups sound actually unique compared to most, but I can't really say just yet. Mainly when people own this guitar, they swap out the stocks for the active EMG 81/85 set. However, this guitar doesn't actually NEED actives to sound great, it's just a matter of preferance. Don't be scared to leave it stock.

Ease of Use:
From what I hear, it's completely user friendly. Unfortunately, that's only if you play on .009s and know your stuff about the trem. If you can handle those, everything else is a breeze... really.

Support:
I can't say, I've yet to recieve mine (which I ordered yesterday.).

Overall:
This is definitely an amazing axe for that discerning intermediate guitarist looking for a great quality product. Use common sense and treat this like you would any quality guitar, and it will carry you on it's back through the land of music for LIFE; with a little room for your audience...

"Have a look"

Feature:
The neck is amazing very playable it just fits in your hands perfectly. The tremelo is badass and with the lock up top it keeps tune like a champ.

Quality:
its killer. just maintain it and it will last you forever. buy some fretboard conditioner for the rosewood and it will play like new for years

Value:
400 bucks i don't think you could spend it any better

Desirability:
i have it in white i think its badass i've gotten nothing but complements about it. people love it.

Sound:
It sounds great I have a Crate GT212 and the combo is mint. I couldn't be happier. This was my first guitar and I can honestly say I play it and will play it forever. The pickup setup is awesome you got the two humbuckers and the single coil so you can definately achieve a wide variety of sounds. And thats perfect because I play everything from Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, to Slipknot, Mudvayne, Metallica, pretty much anything and I am pleased.

Ease of Use:
If you know your stuff about the whole floating tremelo, then yeah its extremely easy to use. I haven't had any difficulty.

Support:
havent had to use it.

"Informative Review"

Feature:
The floyd rose is nice as is the locking tremolo. It has everything I could have wanted in a guitar. 24 frets are nice and accesible and no fret buzz anywhere on the neck. It would no doubt be nicer with a real floyd rose as the one it has is a ibanez knockoff.

Quality:
My guitar was pristine out of the store and amazing quality for only $00 dollars.

Value:
You will not find a guitar this nice for this price anywhere. Period. Great value.

Desirability:
Oh the white is sexy, black is so typical, I feel like a nonconformist with my white guitar.

Sound:
The sound is alright. It really depends on which amp you play it through. I am thinking about putting some EMG 81/85's in just to get a little more crunch. It gives a great metal sound right out of the gate though. The clean sound is not as warm as i wanted but I don't ussually play clean anyway.

Ease of Use:
This thing plays so nice. I have played by brothers Jackson Dinky and my friends Soloist and I still think the action on mine is better. The one problem i have really noticed is the actually wammy bar. It is not a screw-in which is extremely annoying. Mine has gotten so loose after only a couple months of use that it will no longer stay in. It always pops out in the middle of a dive or if I lean over.

Support:
I have never had to contact them but I probably should have. I have changed string gauges and had to learn on my feet about moving the springs. I was unfamilar with floyd roses before this guitar so I will just say it was a learning experience.

Overall:
This should be a great guitar that I will definitly keep for awhile. I am thinking about buying another because of the pickups and the wammy bar issues, but for now it is great.
