I currently play live w/a bc rich w/active EMG81's. Compared to the 81's the IBZs are extremely weak. They have a thin sound and not enough "beef" for me. Swapping in some active P/ups is definately a must for me though. Depends on you style of music though.

What can i say? Awesome paint job. Wizard neck. 24 frets. Edge III trem. The only thing this guitar is lacking is better pickups.

I like the feel of the slightly thinner neck. makes soloing and playing faster much more comfortable.

For the price this is definately a well made guitar.

Very cool looking guitar

The sound to the guitar is very very nice, it leaves a soft harmonic sound when playing chords, and without distortion. But when you kick on that distortion it becomes a beast!!! the strings are very thin compared to my other guitars but they are very durable.

This guitar has it all! well not actaully... but it is one of ibanezs' much better guitars. dont let the price fool you even though its about 500 bucks trust me its worth every penny. this guitar comes with a tremelo bar which is amazing when doin heavier rock!!! the wammy snaps into place in a split second and is very useful for bendin the sound with out a wah wah peddal.

this guitar is very easy to play, it doesnt produce an extremely dark sound like i like, but it is the best guitar for fast shredding, etc.

This guitar is very well made i liked it alot. One problem i have with it is that the input jack sometimes gets a little loose and i have to tighten it. One other little problem i had is when you buy it you need to get a setup at first the frets popped out of place but it is still an amazin guitar.

Actaully this guitar is very very cheap for what you get out of it. for about 500 bucks i could get a piece of crap guitar this guitar honestly i say should be worth about 900 bucks.
