i have the pf60sece-nt with gloss finish.It was the best bang for the money i could find in a street store,considering the solid spruce top.I payed about 190 euros.A similar priced fender had a laminated top.

Sound : 8
It's my first guitar and i don't think you care much if i say i love its sound.I can say that i was a little more impressed with the sound of a jumbo acoustic ibanez when i first tried them, therefore i rate its unpluged sound quality with an 8. But when the salesman pluged it into a ibanez troubadur amplifier and started playing,i started drooling,i got blown away.I thing it fully deserves a 9 for the electric sounds.I don't have an amplifier for it yet but it's gonna come soon.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
it looks perfectlly crafted,perfect finish,very solid and steady looking neck,easy to play,well set action,and most of all it stays in tune really well even after some agressive struming.

Reliability/Durability : 7
The one thing i didn't like is the fact that the on/off tuner button can get stuck underneath the tuner panel if you don't press it gentlly.Also you have to be carefull with the baterry drawers if you pull it out all the way,it might get jamed while pushing it back in .
Other than that it really seems very solid.

Customer Support : 9
2 years warranty
nice guys over at "m&c musical"(the ibanez romanian importer) store where i bought it.

Overall Rating : 9
it probablly is the perfect starter guitar

Finish is Blue. Has a cutaway body. 20 frets.
Cost 250euro new.
Included a free Gigbag, stap and lead. Gigbag was a really good padded type. More than I expected for a free gig bad.
It was made in Chinma 2008.
Has a built in pickup and EQ with a built-in tuner (needs 2 x AAA inc). The tuner is very good and easy to use. Automatically picks the string note.
Materials solid Spruce Top, Mahogany Back and Sides, Pearl Dot Inlays, IBZ Undersaddle SPT Preamp with Tuner, Chrome Smooth Tuners, Color: Transparent Blue, incl. Gig Bag and Strap

Sound : 9
I play hard rock and metal. Would suit the rough balladdy stuff.
Has a good solid sound.
Sounds fairly loud w/o the pickup. See note below on amp.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 9
It came well set up out of the box. I guess the dealer tuned it before he shipped it as was nearly in tune.
Action is pretty good. Maybe has a small bit of buzzing when I bash the 6th E string about alot. Nothing major that would happen with another guitar.
Didn't see any flaws at all in the guitar. Really looks good, well put together.
Action is good for an acoustic and the factory has fitted an extra piece to the saddle for the G string already.
BTW came with a spare saddle, saddle padding and keys and a spare peg.
The pickup is good but I think you need a loud amp (more than 15W) to get the benefit from it. Overwise the Guitar itself is too loud for the amp and drowns it out.

Reliability/Durability : 9
I would think the guitar will last although I only have for a short time.
The hardware seems solid, machineheads, body, neck etc.
The finish is very good. Blue finish is very nice. Shouldn't wear off.
The strap and strap buttons are extremely good. No way that guitar is going to fall off. In fact the strap is that tight a fit, better to leave it on all the time. I've had a few electric guitars and this is the best fitting strap I ever seen.
Seems a really dependable guitar.

I got from a german company. Thomann.de.
Really good service fom them. Comes with 30 day money back and 3 year gaurantee.

No problems with it yet. Heard from other people need to inspect the packaging before signing for the package from the courier. No problems for me though. No damage to the boxes at all.
I would recommend buying the acoutic guitar stand GS-2001-A definitely, spare strings, picks, leads, anything else you need as this site is really cheap and with the free shipping you will save loads.

Overall Rating : 9
I used to play electric guitars for around 10 years and gave it up 9 year ago. I wanted to learn again using Acoustic this time round.
I didn't want to buy some cheap crap that would go out tune if you set it down. This Guitar had everything I wanted in a low end price (>300euros) good brand guitar. It had the built in tuner and pickup, strap and gigbag.
I wanted a guitar that I could learn on and then progress and not have to buy a new one. This Guitar fits the bill.
I have taken it in it's (supplied) gig bag to classes on a bus. It stays in tune really well. Hardly needs any tuning and with the builtin tuner this isn't hassle anyway.
I would recommend it for the money as a guitar you would be using for years. Much better than buying a cheaper guitar that you need to upgrade, with no resale value. This will be resaleble being an Ibanez. With the blue finsih it looks really nice as well.
The guitar is fairly slim and not a big body but if you are looking a very small guitar then I would recommend going around a few dealers and trying different types out first.
I own an electric Guitar, an Aria Pro II Magna series as well and I think this complements it well.
My favourite parts are the blue finish, the tuner and the sound of the guitar. What more can I say.
Overall it is my my newest guitar and one I wil have for years to come.
