Nice guitar for the money!
I wanted a smaller acoustic electric that’s a little better than a starter guitar, something I could enjoy as my skills grow, and keep for years; something I can play by the campfire on weekend trips and not worry about having to pamper it. I read many, many reviews and listened to experts on YouTube play and compare.
I bought this Ibanez and have been really pleased. All the reviews were on target and there were no surprises.
The factory strings aren’t terrific but deliver a decent sound; there is no manual or even a gig case that comes with the guitar, but I found the perfect sized used hard case on Letgo for $20 and a used starter amp as well. I am all set up for under $360. Don’t spend good $ on new cases and accessories. There is a huge local market to tap into through Letgo and OfferUp. I didn’t want to buy the guitar used since I’m still a beginner and wanted to play right away and be able to return if not satisfied. I think I made a good choice.
The sound is good, better than expected for a thin instrument on the non-amplified setting, and think it will only improve with usage and better strings, which is what many experts say. Amplified, the sound is crisp, clear and delivers as promised.
It’s a lovely guitar; the dark finish is deep and beautiful, not at all a factory look like the ubiquitous blonde Yamaha starter guitar of my youth. I am not crazy about the gold-look hardware, which I think cheapens the otherwise excellent quality of the build... but that can be upgraded to chrome if I still dislike it next year. (I’ll make it a goal reward for myself when I reach my next skill level). Otherwise, the look and feel of my guitar is outstanding, and I’m playing regularly (which is, after all, the mark of a successful guitar purchase, no?)
