BRILJANT!!!

only have it for 3 weeks now no probs
1year warrenty

-(H/S/H)
-22 frets
-1 volume 1 tone 5-way
-Really Bad pickups(were you expecting better for the money?)
-No accessories
_non-locking tuners(they do the job )

I play all sorts of music (classical/blues/metal)
-It can be a very noisy guitar with stock pickups
-Very trebley harsh sound
-Its good for most styles,shred is difficult and doesnt sound good
-Good as beginer/intermediate guitar/not plugged in

The action was almost perfect the strings were not much use
-Pickups badly set up
-Flawed finish on the neck
-Sharp egdes to frets
When I got it the neck was uncomfortable and very difficult to play with little give in the strings, with new strings and a wee bit of work its more comfortable to play than my stratocaster

This guitar is built like a tank it holds up well to my hitting of things (bed/stairs/cars/walls) the finish is sturdy and doesnt scrath obviously much its really hard to keep clean however one of the strap buttons fell out once fixed ive never had a problem i use it on stage and its fine

NEver had to deal with them.

Compared to my strat , dean mlx or bc rich it can be more comfortable and as stock it cant compare in any other way, with new pickups (seymour duncans)it sounds as good as any other guitar through a lot of distortion, still trebley but in a good way. With a fixed bridge and better pickups it would be one of the best guitars under 500 pounds, Well worth the money, maybe not the most friendly beginer guitar

Well its all been said in the other reviews.

personally i think the pick-ups on this are terrible. you just can't seem to get a good sound without it sounding very thin, and it doesnt seem to pick up the lower frequencies all that well, so the first and second strings sound very twangy, and overpower everything else.

sounds ok for beginners, but youl hear a difference in sound after if you have been playing a little while.

the action on this is fine, and if it is'nt, its nothing that you cant soon fix. i quite like the tone and volume dials on this, but the rest of it i think is a little too much like a lot of other guitars (you can see pictures to make your own mind up about that).
the jack socket on this was loose, and so was the volume control, i heard some other people had the same problem but its nothing that can't be fixed with a spanner. the neck on this is very thin and smooth, it feels nice to play if you like that sort of thing.

I have never had any problems with it.

Well this guitar is great for beginners, it plays very well, but doesnt sound too great.

The guitar is made in Indonesia..has 22 frets and has 5-way selector,standr tremolo and the classic Ibanez pick-ups. The manual included said it was all made from Agathis woods...nd unfortunately the tuners have no locking.
The greek Ibanez distributors sell it with just the gig-bag and its tools...

Well I play from classic rock'n'roll style and bluesy solos to distorted power chords and a little bit of wah...and it never let me down..
I'm also using a KORG AX100 multi-effects processor and a 65W Marshall Valvestate amp and well...it's the perfect amp for this guitar. I've tried it with a Fnder twin Reverb 65W and it sounded more than horrible!
The sound of it could be described as a "treble sound"...well with the double pick-up and don't have all those bass frequencies I'd like to. But it's a very good sound when you need to play mostly chords and arpeggios and you are not doing fast distorted solos cause then the lack of bass frequencies will be annoying obvious!
The variety of sound I can perfectly produce is realy satisfying! Echo and flanger effected sounds are the best clean ones and the line-distortion with a little wah or a violin-like heavy distortion are my beloved "hard" sounds.

When I first played with it I found out that the distance between the fretboard and the strings was huge...I couldn't even play a barre chord at the 7th or 8th fret...My fingers were aching!
But that was the only bad thing...when I lowered the strings and the pick-ups (a litle bit) then I got what I wanted!
The wood is OK to me..although I know it's not the best quality but right now a two years since I bought it, I have no problem with it, it's in a very good condition!

I can still remember my first live performance with this guitar...I was so nervous cause a few days ago, I thought found out that the bridge had a little problem which caused the B string to break with just a little more tension than normal! So I was thinking of the possibility of a string breaking during the gig...and it was enough to believe i would never use an Ibanez on stage.
But it was just my idea that the bridge caused my string to break...the gig was perfect with no broken strings...and I never again noticed that my bridge has a problem! Since then I use it with no back-up on stage...I just always have my old Japanese Squier Strat on stage just because I need it for a special set of instrumental tunes which would never fit with my Ibanez's sound!

The Greek Ibanez distributor is a very good guy...always helpful and you can trust him for everything. I remember last April when I brought my guitar for the regular service...it was ready within 48 hours and when I took ot back...it was like I have just bought it!

Well it's not the perfect instrument but...it's reliable and has a nice feeling when playing...it's price is really affordable and has all the sound variety that Ibanez presents at almost every guitar they produce..So I think it was the best choice for the money I wanted to spend!

The guitar was made in Indonesia. 22 frets. 5-way selector. With cool Humbacker pickup. 1 volume knob and 1 tone knob and of course with tremolo. Gig bag, cable, tuner, case, tools and strap are included.

This guitar is really nice for rocks and heavy metals. I'm using my tiny 10W Marshall amp and a Super Chorus effect with it. The single coil pickup produces a bit noise, just really a bit, it can't bother you when you play. It has a crunchy-rocky sound, really nice for rocks. But it's still not clean enough for other kinds of songs.

The set-up was quite poor. I encountered some problems with it. First of all, the pickups weren't set properly. When I switch to another pickup, the guitar then went "off"(soundless). Then the tone knob became loose so I have to... I don't really blame the quality if the guitar or the guitar itself. The factory didn't set it up well.

At last, it's good. It just needs a lil bit set-up. I can depend on it. It's also good without a backup.

The guys in the shop are nice and the guitar has one year warranty. BUT... I mentioned that i had a problem with the guitar, so I brought it back to them. They sent it to their maintenance center to get it repaired. I waited for a MONTH. When they called me to get back the guitar, I went for it. When I tried it at home, oh no... The problem is still there. At last, I just seek for my dad's friend to fix it.

This is really good for beginners. Because it is inexpensive and it includes tons of aceesories. And the guitar itself looks nice. Without those problems, it's nearly a perfect guitar for beginners especially for rockers. For those who plans to buy it, just don't forget to try it out and check the sounds and setups THOROUGHLY. I'm sure you'll it.

22 frets, volume + tone control, 5 way selector switch

H/S/H pickup configuration
Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard
Ibanez RG style body

I like to play most styles of guitar except punk which requires no skill.

I build my own effects and i can get nice tones out of my Ibanez.
Sometimes i think my guitar maybe is meant for heavier stuff than what i play mostly but when i want to get aggressive it sure does the job. Good old Ibanez.

This Ibanez was crafted pretty well but it wasnt perfect.
When i got it it has a tiny scratch on the paintwork. It doesnt really bother me though. Other than that its crafted quite well.

I have full confidence in this guitar for sure. It is my only guitar.

The finish is excellent and seems like it will last very well.
I would definetly use this guitar on a gig without a backup.

Ive been playing for a little over 2 years. I own a peavey transtube studio pro 112 amp.

I've compared my guitar with the Ibanez SA series equivelent. I personally think mine is better. Its just im not a fan of the rounded body on the SA series Ibanezs.

dunno

helpful 1 year warrenty

brill guitar needs better pickups though

Made in Indonesia, 2000. 22 Frets, 5-way selector, Volume and tone knob. H/S/H config.
Smooth black finish without a "scratch plate",
Standard bridge with a tremolo which i keep with the tools that come with it.
Smooth neck (rosewood)

I'm a beginner (6 Months) and from the other guitars i've had the pleasure of playing this is the best for features

I play mostly the heavier metal like 80s Metallica and Slayer style with my band. I have a Laney HCM15R which produces a nice clean tone and a good thick crunchy overdrive.
Yeah the single coil does seem to be noisy but its not as much as a problem as people make it to be.

Overall this sounds great on any amp or pedal, can do no wrong.

The guitar wasnt set up as well as it could have been but once my teacher had altered it, it was a lot better.

Strings are fine, tuning pegs are good for fine tuning. no problems as of yet

I've not had the chance to play live yet but i've played it for hours on end and its maintained throughout, it'll last a long while before anything needs to be repaired or replaced.
Strap buttons aren't fool proof, my strap fell off once while i was playing.
I'd use it without a backup

1 year warranty. The guy at the shop was very helpful, gave me a good deal (20 quid reduced!)

Not needed to take it in for repairs as of yet

I've been playing for 6 months, i also own a Stagg guitar which aint all bad but compared to the GRX70 its nowhere near as good.
I'd probably save up for a BCRich or Gibson or somethin if it were stolen or somethin like that.

I love the sound and how easy it is to play, it's comfortable and doesn't give you any problems

It was made in Indonesia, 2000. It has 22 frets, 1 volume, 1 tone knob, 5-way selector. H/S/H
It has a pretty cool black finish, but there isn't a pickguard on it. Standard bridge with tremolo, but I never use it. Rosewood neck(really comfortable!!) It hasn't got any extra, but it's enough for me.

I play mostly pop-punk with my band. Green Day, Offspring, Blink 182 etc. I used it with Boss DS-1, DS-2 with Laney HCM-30. This setup wasn't really good, with the original pickup... it was too muddy and weak for me... I can't find the right distortion.
It has OK sound with the original pickups, nothing special. I think for this price it's a good tone, but my friend have a Squier Stagemaster and it has lot of better factory pickups. Of course it's more expensive... and i don't like the Floyd Rose bridge (maybe i'm dumb)... The single coil has cool thin sound... but a bit noisy.

I bought a Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck model and now I use it with Laney TF300 with the built in distortion. It's suit my music style perfectly... I love the JB in it. With the JB i would rate it for 8-9!

The factory set-up wasn't too good. If it's your first guitar, go to a good shop, or to a friend to set-up it right! First of all: change the strings! I recommend Earnie Ball Hybrid Slinky.

This is a very good guitar for it's price! You can depend on it, but after some time you can loose one of your knobs... I play live with it and i haven't got any problem.

It was come with 1 year warranty. Now i play on this guitar since 2001.. I haven't got any problem...

I recommend this guitar to anybody who just want to start playing the guitar. I simply love this guitar. Maybe there is some other good deals: check out the Squier guitars too. After 2 years i will make some work on it... I will change the volume knob, clean it inside, outside.... It's a cheap guitar with pretty good features...

It's all you need when you are a beginner

I play metal, punk, blues, rock and soft. And I don't understand why some people are complaining about the sound. I use a marshall AVT100 and a MT-2 of boss and you can reach every sound that you like! Just 1 thing: it is true that the single coil gives a fuzz sound, but only when you aren't playing. hen you begein playing, it stops.

No problems. But i'm wondering. Lots of people are complaining. I think that when you can play guitar, you set your guitar up by yourself. Only the bridge could be better, but it's lots better than an epiphone bridge. Because with Epiphone, strings are breaking every second. The input jacket came loose to, but you can fix it yourself, and the volmue knob fell off to. (Is it that much trouble to put that knob back?)(But for that price, it's not bad)
Nut lockers should be welcome, that'll solve the trem problem.

You can rely on it live. Certainly.

It is a great beginner guitar. It's a lot better than squier and other brand that are saying "made by"
I'm going to sell this one and buy a rg570expk, but if I wasn't to buy another I wouldn't sell my precious honey.
