    I've been through Gibson Les Paul, PRS and some others but I finally found an electric that plays and sounds great and provides a lot of bang for your buck. I would highly recommend this guitar over much higher priced brands.

    Beautiful guitar that has excellent playability with the clarity of the 58 humbuckers: Wow! I primarily bought this for jazz guitar, but you can coil split the pickups individually and get some very usable tones for other genres as well. I really like the gold hardware and abelone in the binding as well on the fretboard.

  • The guitar is gorgeous....

    Looks are stunning. Sound is great. Pups have high output despite "medium" description. Rocks with all genres of music (Jazz to metal). Love that I can use my clean channel for both sparkle and overdrive just by turning up the vol. The 3 position switches for coil tapping aren't really necessary, but you can "kind-of" sound like a single coil Pup. Dont buy this if you want to sound like a strat style coil. This guitar can give a Les Paul studio are run for its money.

    What does Ibanez "Quick Change" mean, is that what they call a "Rose Lock"? I like this guitar, but keep watching for it to go on sale, yet it never does.

    All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 12 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will be approximately 7.5 – 9.0 lbs
