awesome harmonics.the neck feels fantastic,doesnt have that flimsy feel to it.i will be upgrading the electronics(dimarzio:neck pick up>PAF pro;bridge pick up>tone zone//removing the tone pot,and replacing the volume pot with a 1 meg dimarzio)

no nonsense. exactly what i wanted...no worries about a floating bridge.

very high quality for a guitar in this price range. normally unheard of from korean built guitars

need i say more.....

never had a problem in the past with any ibanez guitars. i have had 6 different ibanez guitars since 1987

i had to have it....2 humbuckers,hardtail string through the body bridge,all black with white neck binding.

OK . This guitar is to be played, get to know it. Not alot to tweek, Thank God, but it is a blast to play. Sounds thick alittle dark, but with a 5 position switch and getting to know it....It comes to life. Flat comfortable neck. Put some 9"s on it and slap it around. One fun guitar

I just got the guitar, thinking about changing pickups, the ones on it don't just suck, but I'd love to hear a pearly gate on this girl

Here I go again... get to know it, iny adjustment to poys and Big different sounds. Love this little guitar

Mine is with the oil finish, dings and scratches, but thats my fault. If it was stolen I'd be getting another. Look spend too much for a name , or spend less, much less on this and change what you want (still have less in it) and have YOUR guitar

You will not get a better deal

NO PROBLEMS....Well maybe tuning, but I bend the crap out of them. My buddy's 78 Les Paul Gold Top gets out of tune as well

Don't know about sex appeal, but it fits my playing

Very good for classical and metal (despite not being able to fix a whammy bar into it). I replaced the bridge pickup because the pickups are really bad. The body just isn't built right for other types of music. It's unable to put out the right sound.

Nothing special. I love the Wizard II neck. Makes good for shredding but despite my changes to the action at the bridge I can't seem to get rid of the B string buzzing.

Very well made. I love Ibanez made products because they're sturdy as hell and easy to use.

Wonderful for the price. Can't beat Ibanez when it comes to quality and price.

I'm sure they would be good if I needed help. But I don't even need help.

Very cool and sleek. Sexy guitar

This thing has great sustain and that modern rock tone. I am craking this through a Fender Prosonic and Mesa Boogie F30.

This has the stuff you need to really play. And does not have all of the crap that screws you up. Its the old axiom I firmly believe in "sometimes Less is More"

THe quality is abosultly amazing. How they can make this thing and ship it atound the world and sell it retail for $250 bucks? I may but another one or even a neck through RG in the future if this one improves my live performance.

The best I have ever seen.

I dont think you will need any support unless you are a bonehead. Sevice on this guitar is as simple as it can gets. I did adjust the neck tension a bit from the factory settings.

I got it.

Great smooth mellow tone. For factory elcheapo hbuckers, they sound real good. Great sustain. You can get a nice bright tone all the way to smooth and milky.

Features? What features? Let's see, no accessories, no manual, no, well, anything. You get a straight up solid body string through with double humbucker, 1 tone control, 1 volume, one 5 way pickup selector switch, and that's pretty much it.

This is the only part I was really disappointed with. I have the black finish model. If you so much as breathe on it, the finish comes off of the body, and the wood dents VERY easily. It looks about 10 years old after about 3 days worth of playing. The neck moves around a lot too. I have had to have mine adjusted by the dealer weekly. I had to have 2 fretts ground down because they were too TALL. The neck pickup came loose and was flapping around inside. You have to raise the pickups back up after about 6 hours of play because, as I found out, the screws loosen up and the pickups sink. It really does sound good though and it's a blast to play. The neck feels great, they guitar just "feels right". If it wasn't for that, I would get rid of it becuase it really is a piece of junk in some ways.

For the money, it's not bad. I hoped for better quality but... it really is a lot of fun to play, it feels good, and it sounds good.

There is no support outside of the dealer. There's not even a phone number, e-mail address, street address, nothing on their website. There is no support out of the company what so ever. If you buy it used, or from any non-Ibanez dealer, you are SOL.

It's not much of a looker, there's not really any great features. There's just nothing that special about it. I only bought it because of the way it feels and sounds.

The strings that came with the guitar sounded really bad, so it was hard to get an accurate reading on how it sounded. But I bought some new strings, and it sounded incredible.

It's a pretty plain guitar. Not that it's bad, but it has nothing really outstanding. But it's my first guitar, so I don't really need anything outstanding.

It's very easy to get sound from this product, unless you're just learning, or you're a complete moron.

The face was getting kind of skuffed after playing for a few weeks, but that's going to happen to any guitar you get.

Ecellent value! Worth every penny.

I haven't had any problems with it yet.

It's a really good guitar, especially if it's your first one, like it is for me. It deffinately has some sweet sex appeal.

OK sound I am going to put a dimarzio super disortion in mine :)

Great guitar for jamming no floyd so no dive bombs , but oh well no more bridge problems.

I looked at the picture on this site and the price of the mahogany oil finish and said hhhhmmmmm too good to be true. Well it's even cooler looking then what on this page . Has a basswood body just like the other ibanez guitars that cost 200 bucks more . I am in shock on what a deal this .

What can I say the best deal I ever got on a guitar

Great job no problems what so ever . Got the guitar in 2 days as ordered .

I am a christain so sex appeal I don't care about , but class I do and this is a classy guitar !!!

After replacing the stock so-so INF pickups with a set of active EMG 81/85's this thing absolutely OOZES tone and resonance! Excellent sustain and presence! Deep wicked lows and killer banchee screaming highs! I have an American Strat, and a Gibson Les Paul Studio and I can tell you this RG doesnt play "second fiddle" to either one.

This Guitar proves that sometimes less is more. Very simple electronics and very easy to use. 24 frets. Tuners are o.k. but I went ahead and replaced them with a set of locking Gotoh's. The string-through body design adds miles of sustain and hot tone. I know some people love having a confusing array of tone and volume pots, but not me. If you know what you're doing you dont need all that. Granted, the Stock INF 3&4 pickups are not the best, but for the money... Great Deal!

It just feels right in your arms. Light, durable, and after replacing the pickups... ESCELLENT sound! And I love the fast and super thin Wizard neck and Jumbo frets, perfect for shredding! A breeze to set up! The intonation is perfect. Just plug-n-play! Very Sturdy guitar. True, the body wood does dent easily, but it just adds character.

Beautiful craftmanship! Very sexy looks and feel. I love the Natural Oiled Mahogany finnish! It looks and plays like an $800+ guitar. Like I said, I replaced the stock pickups and tuners, but just for personal preference and taste. No problems with the cut of the nut like I had with my USA Strat. With a little tweaking of the neck its perfect, no twisting like you can get with other guitars. One flaw - the truss adjustment hex head nut at the head stock is a little hard to get to.

Show me a guitar that you can buy for the price that looks or sounds better. In this instance, you get more than what you pay for. For beginning Student or experienced Veteran it will find a place in the heart of both.

Gave it a 10 because I never needed it. Theres really nothing that you could'nt take care of yourself. Easily maintained. A breeze to work on.

I own it. Thinking about getting one for my beginning younger brother.
