Worth it!
pmpcayanan 03.11.2021
I just received mine a few days ago, as a birthday gift from my wife.

I was after the finish at first, but was surprised how comfortable its neck feels.

There are no sharp frets, and finish imperfections.

It was supposedly a modding guitar, but I don't think it is worth upgrading at this moment.

The nut is properly slotted, although material is not listed in the specs, I am not seeing a reason to replace it. It holds well in tune and the pickups sound great too.

If you are looking for an inexpensive yet stunning guitar, you can never go wrong with this one

A great guitar for its price
Y.D. 25.06.2022
For what it's worth it's a great guitar. Loved the finish the second I saw the guitar, the "pearlescent" effect with purple and black is great. The pickups are good so you can hold onto them for awhile if it's your first guitar. The only cosmetic issue I had was a a very small dent(less than a millimeter, you can't see unless really try to find it) at the back of the neck and few small dirt spots with a clear coat painted over them on the headstock. Other than that the quality control of Ibanez seems to be a top notch.

The Jatoba fretboard is beautiful and I'd put it as high as maple and rosewood.

Frets are a tad smaller than I'd like but nothing that it would affect playability. This may be purely subjective. No sharp frets.



Out of the box the action was alright but slightly higher than I like it, had to tune it a bit(which is expected) but no intonation adjustment was required.

The guitar comes with a manual which explains quite well how to adjust action height and do the intonation. Allen keys are provided.

A fine adition to my collection

Plays amazing, requires minimal setup, frets are all good, finish is amazing
The pickups, albeit passive, pack a good punch especially with heavier stuff

Excellent price to performance ratio
Nick Delkis 30.06.2023
I purchased the guitar with the main aim to practice at home. I wanted a Wizard neck and double humbuckers. Build, finish and sound feel really good after 8 months of daily use.

I was initially sceptical about the wood selection, and indeed the body is a bit lighter than what I was used to, but eventually it plays like a charm. Setup was good and I didn't have to adjust anything. Stays in tune without problem except for some large temperature fluctuations where it will go 1-2 degrees sharp or flat.

A solid guitar overall, would definitely recommend.
