Guitar is gorgeous, almost no set up needed, only action tweaking and fretboard hidration. There were a few slightly loose screws causing vibrations but nothing dramatic.
Acoustic sound is pretty decent and loud enough to play and practice, but this beauty REALLY comes alive when plugged to an amp with a little overdrive or full tube distortion. I'm loving it as I expected I would. Been purchasing Ibanez guitars more and more over the years without any disappointment.
Purchased from Mexico and everything went smoothly with shipping and costs. Taxes were a bit high (not Thomann's fault of course) as expected, but they were exactly what I expected them to be. Guitar was placed inside a second cardboard box so I was very well protected.
