| Action, Fit, & Finish |
when i recieved the guitar i was amazed at the quality of the paint it has a natural back in green and the top was a solid blue. very beautiful guitar.the action was great from day one with no buzzing and simply the best playing guitar ive ever owned playes like the strings are rubberbands with great tone ive had this one a long time and is amazing quality .made in korea with grover tuners and came with graphite nut is certainly a diamond in the ruff.it has 22 frets and real abalony dots has small frets but hold the test of time and the neck on this guitar is as thin as any ibanez wizard and to be honest better playing.rosewood fret board and classic lespaul bridge wiuth zerbra pickups to boot which stand out on there own.

| Reliability & Durability |
ive had this guitar since 1996 and it has suffered no issues at all . it is very durable neck is straight as an arrow and plays like the first day only better. the paint is still in great shape and no electrical issues to speak of at all.

| Liked about it |
i really was took back by the look of this one it was beautiful with the multicolored body.
the pickups on this guitar sound like a dream and i wouldnt think that for factory pickups but like i said diamond in the ruff this one definetly is .
the neck is the sweetest thing about this guitar it is a dream to play and i can play it all day with no problems at all and is so thin i think it is thinner than my rg550 nheck.

| Didn't like |
i wish it would have came with a caese the body ius oddley shaped and i cant find a case to fit it yet correctly.
some tuning stab ility is a problem but i think the nut slots are too tight and could fix it to make them slightly bigger.
i have only seen it in three color purple blue and red but all are beautiful but black would have hit the spot very well.
