The price is lower than its quality.
So I used it only at home and at the studio and my opinion is:
Pros: The shape is quite ergonomic and looks cool. Weigh is low enough to hold it and make some tricks. Sound is more than good for this price. Hums work and sound. The giutar is easy to tune and customise because of simple electrocnic system.
Cons: Electronics require shielding, because it's too much noise on high gain. Stock strings are bad and to be changed.
The guitar is very good at this price rate, but as for any cheap guitar, you should swap standart strings for good ones, treat the wood carefuly and check the electronics. All of these points won't cost you a fortune. It is hard to blame the guitar for its disadvanteges because of low price. The price of guitar is lower than its quality. Very nice option if you have less than 250 euros.

Buy this guitar
Alright, first of all. This guitar is a beauty. The color is just amazing if you compare it to it's price.
Tuners - Standard Ibanez tuners, maybe not of the highest quality but hold the tuning (don't expect too much though).
Neck - The neck is really thin and Very easy to get used to, especially if this is your first 7 string guitar (like me).
Fretboard - The fretboard was a bit dry, which was not an issue since just a touch of lemon oil made it look like a new. No sharp edges whatsoever.
Bridge - The bridge is very comfortable and doesn't bother me at all while i play. The string height was on default, so i had to lower them a bit. Even though i had never done something like that, i watched a video on youtube where a guy does it with a credit card and it worked just fine since this bridge is easy to adjust. The intonation was spot on, out of the box.
Pickups & Knobs - Not the best pickups but they play pretty well. The neck one felt a bit weak, maybe due to it's height (Kinda low) . I am considering of swapping them with a Fishman fluence set. The knobs are smooth and pretty just like the guitar :).
Body - Light and comfortable no matter how you hold your guitar.
I bought this guitar only to test 7 string guitars, and i got one thing to say. Buy this one even if it's your first guitar. Extremely good quality for it's price. I wish this one was available when i started playing guitar. There is no way you will regret spending your money on this guitar unless your are looking for a professional instrument.

Cool guitar.
Clean on 4th position sounds amazing. Distortion is good. There were problems with the input, but this problem was solved easily.

Nice guitar
Its been four months since i got this guitar. Guitar and neck is super comfortable. Very happy with that. Ibanez quality and qc is trustable. Sound is ok, i am not most satisfied but nothing to big complain for the price. Set up perfect. The only thing is one or maybe two rough parts back of the neck. It was finished well but the roughness of the wood is sensible. And one more thing is frets. They are not big like LTD, and they are soft. Frets seem to started to wear down already. Maybe i play too hard. Overall, for the first time seven string player, feels weird. Maybe i sould have prefer longer scale six string. Anyway i like this guitar. It has Ibanez feeling.

Nothing really to put out
For the amount you are paying, you get a super affordable Ibanez. The hardware in comparison to more expensive Ibanez guitars is not as good, but Ibanez sure know how to make guitars.
