"What this product is really is like no exagerations"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
i will probably have this for a while. If you feel the S470 is to expensice go with the S370 its pretty much just as good, i have one.
Sound
The sound of this guitar is great for an acoustic sound. It has awesome sound and its so easy to play. It has a thin neck for quick movment of my hands. The neck is not the longest and i like that.
Features
I think this guitar has every thing you need five way swithching whammy and tremelo. i dont particularly like the floating bridge and the tremelo because its a pain to tune your guitar a step down or whatever with locking trem. The floating bridge I dislike because it tunes to how its been tuned the last few times and when I got change up the tuning its a pain.
Quality
good quality ive bumped it a coupl times no damage done but im 13 and i try hard to keep this expensive guitar nice so i havenet had to much experience with that.
Value
I have another ibenez that was a about a hundred cheaper and its not that much of a difference.
Manufacturer Support

"Quality product for a good price."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This is an excellent guitar for guitar players of all skill levels. I highly reccomend this for all fans of rock, blues, metal and the like. The metalheads like me may just want to change the bridge pickup though.
Sound
I tried out this guitar in a music store in Manchester, UK. It has a H/S/H pickup configuration. I plugged it into some old vintage half stack. Well for a start, the clean was very impressive. The notes rang out very clearly with a nice balance. When i cranked up the gain, the guitar gave a very good response. I would prefer it if the bridge pickup was more dirty. Palm muting just didnt seem to come out as defined as on my present guitar. Still, the pickups can be replaced and you'll have a badass axe!
Features
Awesome features! It was a very nice orange colour. The finish seemed quite thick so it should last. The body is very thin and has rounded edges. So far so good. Standard stuff- 5 point selector switch, volume and tone controls. The real shining point here is the ZR or 'zero resistance' double locking tremelo. This tremelo is astonishingly smooth in its operation and holds the tuning very well. Great job ibanez! I tried the newer edge pro 2 tremelos and they just seemed to stiff for me.
Quality
Very good quality. This guitar will withstand a fair bit of abuse. So it should be good for road use.
Value
Pretty good value. A little pricey but for the quality its very good.
Manufacturer Support
I only tried this in the shop so I cant comment.

OH YEAH! Im gonna buy this beast as soon as i get the money!:)
