Great sounding Top Ibanez Line Acoustic. Unplugged, very nice tone. With pre-amp great plugged in. zZounds does great deals... but setup lacks. I paid for a basic setup... action still has problem. Taking it to Portland's best warranty Luthier next week. I know setup will be perfect.Most guitars get returned because of poor setup... instead of new owner getting it setup right.
Sound
Top of Line. Sound is great.
Features
The bump in back of neck/fretboard might be a problem for some fingering, otherwise... I love this guitar.
Ease of Use
Very, should be perfect after a "Barrett" setup.
Quality
It's new but looks to be well made.
Value
Great. UNDER $1,200, solid woods, Spruce, Rosewood... great electronics. Inlay is nice. Few all solid comparables... Yamaha... but smaller A3CR not as good a sound... A3R, dreadnought close. Preamp and Inlay way better with Ibanez.
