Thrilled to receive this item not only in perfect condition but ahead of schedule. 🤘I have never bought a guitar online but decided to take a chance bc this 7 string priced at $250 is an absolute steal. Perfect for a beginner/intermediate level player who plays as a hobby. However, this guitar is gig worthy and looks fantastic.IMO Ibanez has cornered the market with reasonably priced guitars of quality. My first 6 string RG bought 30 years ago which I still play today with mods of course. Taken care of, these guitars last.Back the the review…Def apprehensive bc it is not sold with a case for protection. However, package received, the guitar is packed well and wrapped. Total plus. I may buy a mid grade case in a few weeks.Perfect condition not one ding or dent. Paint job. Perfect, smooth and polished. All frets are filed. No sharp edges. Intonation and tuning perfect to BEADGBE no buzz. Tuning keys no give. Perfectly smooth when turned. The pickups are actually ok for stock. Fine for out of the box but I am confident this guitar can be upgraded down the line as I hotrodded my first Ibanez with Seymour Duncan’s way back when with ease.I decided to tune down to ADGCFAD. I like low and melodic notes and tones. Surprisingly not as much buzz as I thought I was going to get. With a slight trus adjustment can be worked out.I highly reco this guitar. I like the GIO series for the money. I own guitars with Floyd Rose. If I feel like it, I will consider the UNIVERSE series. I must say I am thrilled to have this guitar that can be tuned quickly without the fuss of a trem system.A huge reason why this guitar has many many 4.5-5 star reviews and the stock is low. I was waiting for a while and finally was able to get one.One of my better Amazon purchases.Play on 🤘

The packing wasn't very good but the guitar itself is a new fav. I have 10 guitars ranging upto 1700 dollars on the top end and even this one for the price is such a deal. 10/10

I was amazed at the build quality at this price point. I played on RG Ibanez 7 strings and this actually was built just as well as the 500 dollar versions. the only slight drawback being the pickups low end not being as crisp. And to mention the intonation was set perfectly from factory so props ibanez!

Easily the best electric 7-string I could find under $600.Playability - 9/10 - Good neck and frets. Very playable.Weight - 9/10 - Light enough for extended playing.Durability - 8/10 - Solid construction. The tuners, pick-up switch, and dials are of decent quality and fairly sturdy.Set-up - 10/10 - Came from the factory well-intonated and with the strings at just the right height over the fretboard.Pick-ups - 7/10 - Not the greatest, but not terrible. Especially for this price.Overall in general - 8/10Overall for the price - 9.5/10

For the price its actually a nice guitar. It is set up well and the fret work is clean and leveled nicely. If curious about playing a 7 string and are cost conscience, this is a great deal.

Good guitar for the price. Was quite surprised with the quality. Odd shipping though. Ibanez guitar arrived loosely packed in a fender guitar box that was clearly not meant for this guitar.

Surprisingly well finished for the price. Neck is smooth, even, straight and well finished. Fretwork is pretty good. Paint job is flawless.I needed to dress a couple of high frets and give the truss rod 1/8 of a turn to get the action down to 2mm at the 12th fret. I strung it with D'Addario 10-59 nickel wounds. The pickups have pretty decent output. Tuners are cheap but seem to hold tune well once you've restrung it and stretched the strings properly.This is my first foray into 7 string guitar, and I'm totally happy with my purchase. Excellent quality for what I paid for it.
