"If you are left-handed this is your guitar"

Feature:
It has the floating tremelo which I am still getting used to. I love it though. Screams and dive bombs galore.

Quality:
It looks great. Nice glossy finish and a finished neck. Very sturdy. Definitely road worthy.

Value:
For the price you can't beat it. Especially for a lefty. $400 is a steal.

Desirability:
I have it and love it. Looks great, sounds great, plays great

Sound:
I have owned this guitar for about a month and love it. Nice thick sound. Good sustain. Great for rock and metal.

Ease of Use:
If this is your floating tremelo there is a definite learning curve. After a month I am still working with it. Also you can't really change tuning because of it. I new that to start but thought I'd mention it. It plays awesome. Fretboard is smooth and easy to play. I have a strat copy and it seems like a toy compared to this.

Support:
haven't dealt with support

Overall:
As I said, great guitar. easily the best value out there for a lefty. Just wish we had the option of the other colors the righties do. If something happened to it I would replace it with another Ibanez. There is really nothing I don't like about it. Learning to tune it was a pain, but so worth it.

"Worth the money, great style, good sound."

Feature:
The features are perfect for me for the price. Sharktooth inlays, 2 humbuckers, 1 single mid pickup, 1 volume, 1 tone, pickup switch, Wizard 2 neck, Edge 3 bridge, and jumbo frets. Perfect!

Quality:
It's a mid level Ibanez. The quality's definelately there. Especially in the details.

Value:
The value's much of the reason why I bought the guitar. Ibanez build their guitar with high quality materials. It's very tight and well constructed

Desirability:
You can't get a guitar more sexy than this for the price. It looks like it want's to be played hard and fast. It's sharp and clean. Would be ideal with chrome hardware instead of black.

Sound:
It sounds pretty good, clean and powerful sound. I only have a practice amp, so I feel like I'm really missing the full power of the guitar.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to play. The jumbo frets really make a big difference. The volume and tone controls are very smooth. The neck feels very smooth and 'U' shape thin. It stays in tune and is an average weight for electrics.

Support:
Ibanez products are so good that I have never had to call support for anything. I believe that if I needed to call them, I would be able to get through and get my problem solved.

Overall:
It's a nearly perfect guitar. This is the best left-handed electric guitar for the money to me. The Ibanez design is awesome. It makes other guitars just look weak. The guitar could use some chrome hardware, but all black is cool too. The sound is clean and powerful, but I expected a litter more. High quality materials and tight construction make this guitar a good buy. I would buy it again and I would recommend it to a friend.

"Great bang for your buck"

Feature:
The most useful features are the locking tremolo, which makes it easy to bend strings. The edge pro system is very useful for using the whammy bar. It takes a while if you're getting used to this guitar, to tune it perfectly with the locking system, because you have to loosen the tremolo, tune, and then tighten again. Also, you can't go wrong with 24 frets! and HSH pickups.

Quality:
My guitar received one small knock and it got a chip on the body. If you have a nice, hard case that can totally protect your guitar, then no worries. The parts seem sturdy enough, but the body might be the first thing to give problems.

Value:
It's great value for money, because you get all the features of a pro model for a good price, and a locking tremolo, 24 frets, and great pickups, you can't go wrong

Desirability:
I saw this guitar for this price, and with all the features, I HAD TO HAVE IT!

Sound:
The sound of this guitar is very suited for lead guitar playing. I play rhythm in my band, and it sounds alot better when I'm picking than strumming. A very good feature is the 5 tone switch settings, which allows you to adjust your sound before even touching a pedal.

Ease of Use:
You have to play around with it, but it's relatively easy to get the sound you want from this guitar.

Support:
I never had to deal with support as yet.

Overall:
If I get rich somehow, or my band makes it big, I might look into getting a hollow body electric guitar for the rhythm, but this guitar is great for now!
