The Ibanez guitars are great guitars for the budgie musician at hand. If you're looking for a very inexpensive but yet pretty well guitar and I'm as is definitely the tricks. They're very good price guitars and they feel very good as well. Many shredding and hard rock guys tend to lean towards these guitars primarily because of their very quick action fret necks. The neck itself is very comfortable and easy to play . Overall there are great guitars for someone he's learning how to play the guitar or just someone you need to nice comfortable shredding guitar.

SOUNDS
This is not the budgeted Ibanez guitar but rather the custom axes that are better built and higher quality. These guitars come with to humbucker pick ups and nice pearl inlay design. You also have a run-of-the-mill volume control and tone control knobs. You get to pick up selectors well a tremolo system and that's pretty much about it. There's no boost switches or make cuts which is rain kind of push pull knobs of any kind.
These guitar sound fantastic any high gain/ highly saturated type setting. A Mesa Boogie guitar amplifier is perfect for these kind guitars because it produces a nice thick chunky tone which these guitars mix very well with. This is a smooth and fantastic guitar for pretty much any application.
OVERALL OPINION
At new you can find these guitars for right around $3400 which is a bit high for most Ibanez users. However, this is a professionals guitars and the price is aimed at that market. These are fun guitars and have a nice comfortable feel throughout the instrument. I recommend these if you don't want a custom fender or a Suhr guitar.
