Outstanding
Whoever designed this guitar must have had a Ph.D in ergonomic and aesthetic design, the bevels and curves on this instrument are ingenious. It is a beautiful instrument. If I had ever seen one up close and personal I would have walked out of the store with it. None of the online images do it justice. The fit and finish are as perfect as any I've seen, and all this for only $. The sound is full and balanced. You don't need to plug it in, but if you do you have both a 1/4" input as well as an SLR. The onboard tuner is awesome as well. I don't like the heavy strings that come with it, I replaced the 12's with 10's, a little light on the treble side but for me improves the playability. I've recently played every acoustic available to me including a high end Martin in search of an acoustic. I choose Ibanez.
I love this guitar!
I bought this guitar 4 months ago and I happy super happy with it. It caught my attention because it was pretty, and I selected it because the reviews said it plays great. I have not been disappointed on either of those points. Out of the box it was beautiful! I've looked over every inch of it, and the finish is flawless. I forgot to order a set up from Sweetwater, but it was still very easy to play out of the box. I later had it set up by a local luthier, and man! It's smooth as silk now. My Sweetwater rep, Benjamin, was very supportive and called more than once to make sure I was happy. Five stars all around!
Amazing guitar
Guitar looks even better in person. Ordered on Thursday and got it today (Monday). Incredible product and service all around. Love Sweetwater!
Great Guitar
I bought this guitar back in March and have hardly touched my electric guitars since. It sounds great plugged or unplugged and I get compliments all the time on its sound. Shout out to Sweetwater tech staff for setting it up just the way I like it.
Even prettier in person
The flame on this is so 3D, looks better than the pictures can show so that was a pleasant surprise.
Plays wonderfully and I like the arm carve more than I expected. For the price it's a wonderful guitar. Very happy with this purchase, Ibanez is really doing awesome with these acoustics in looks, sound, and value.
Better than expected
I knew it was a pretty guitar based on the pix but the top and back are so much better in person.
Like another reviewer mentioned the tuners to take quite a bit of turning to change tension, I thought it was just me but seeing that helped me so maybe it will help you too! Just turn a bit more than expected.
The guitar sounds fantastic and it's electronics are good as well. I typically don't care about that part so as long as they function that's enough for me.
The sound is very good, not quite what you'd get from a larger jumbo/dreadnought but not too far off either. I thought the (Taylor like) cutaway was nice but in use it's even better than I thought. So comfortable to play. For the price this is well worth it IMO, I got the Ibanez hard shell case too and it fits like a glove, one of the few reasonably priced hard shell cases left are by Ibanez so get yours before they go up like everything else!
This guitar far exceeded my expectations.
Really Nice Guitar!
All the usual great service from Sweetwater. This instrument is nice and lite. It molds itself right into my body and plays like a dream!
Excellent guitar for beginner/intermediate
The guitar is absolutely beautiful. Sounds and plays great. No fret buzz and the finish on the neck is super smooth allowing your hands to glide up and down the fretboard. The curves of the body make for a very comfortable guitar. My only complaint is that when tuning, you sometimes have to turn the peg pretty far to get any actual change. I'm not sure if it's the tuners themselves or if the nut could just use some lubricant. The guitar stays in tune well though so it's not a huge problem. All in all I wouldn't change my mind if I could go back. I think it is an excellent addition to my collection.
