This is simply one of the best buys for the money. It's an $8000 sound from a $200 box! I mean what is to argue!? This thing sounds better than my most expensive aged solid body Martin and better than my Seagull Cedar top, and better than my Ovation Elite all excellent and expensive guitars! The action on this Ibanez $200 box is approx. 1.5 mm at the 12th fret on mine. The sustain is amazing, and even longer than the Ovation which I thought was the sustain champ! Honestly this guitar and it's little brother, the performer Travel 3/4 size one of the same wood have changed my opinion of solid body vs laminated or HPL whatever! From these guitars forward when I see HPL I think cutting sound cause these nice light weight guitars while probably fragile due to the thinness of the wood resonate so well and sound so great simply because of that thin stock used! They are like fine violins with thin super vibrating yet stabalized and supported wood tops that makes this incredibly warm sound. You just have to buy one to believe it. The thin stock and flat top could play on life expectancy of the instrument, and it may be needede to keep them up with an oil or Scotts Liguid Gold or something so they don't crack over time but for the time you'll own this the sound makes it all worth while because I have a lot of guitars and since this one arrived not that long back the others are seriously going to be collecting dust. It's become my go to for the house and the Elks Club open mic night every month mostly due to the light weight and great sound! Everyone loved this guitar at the club! Nice sound is the first thing they notice cause it stops you dead to listen to it. Yeah it's that good!Read full review

Sounds great. Bought it for the kids to learn with and it did break the bank. Sweetwater is always great to deal with. Guitar was shipped safely, quickly, and was in tune right out of the box!

I've seen thousand dollar guitars not sound this nice. In 2019 they don't make this out of Mahogany, but out of Okoume. It's a hard wood, less known then Mahogany, but sounds very rich, and resonates very well. Simply one of the finest guitars I have ever had the pleasure of playing. I'm not crazy about the tuning pegs. They are good, but not great. It keeps tune very well. The body is smooth, and feels very natural. The curvature is flawless, and resonates perfectly for a dreadnought style. It even came darn near in tine. Packaging protected it very well. The sticker comes off with the plastic shrink wrap like material on the pick guard. I was planing on removing the pick guard, but it looks very good in person, so I left it. It is a steal for $200!!! Seriously. If you are on the fence, buy it. You will not regret it. Read full review

This guitar has a very rich tone. The action is low and it plays really easily. I suspect that quality control in China may be an issue though as my Ibanez came with a cracked body in undamaged packaging. Otherwise this would have been the perfect guitar for the money.

Ibanez hit a home run with this guitar. Very nice tone. Perfect scale length. Craftsmanship is very good. Wood is solid, yet a light guitar. Well worth the price. After owning for a month and doing set up work on it. I changed the saddle to bone, pins to rosewood. Installed a preamp. Found the bridge isn't high quality rosewood. More mahogany looking... Cleaned the finish off it and oiled it... Looks better!! Thing sounds amazing.
