Well this is an update after 8 month of owning this guitar and of couse I already sold it because it is not as great as initially thought. The hardware is really cheap and the gold will fade away , the bridge is not the best for intonation, cheap plastic nut that is way too tall to be replaced with a standard Graphtech and the pickups are run of the mill. The reason I sold it was due to fret sprout and not to mention the pots were just unresponsive. Ibanez could have made this guitar a top modle if they had chosen to make it in Indonesia at least and use better quality hardware and at least some Dimarzio pickups... I really think Jatoba looks very very bad, I also bout the Ibanez IC420FM-VLS, but that one was sent back ASAP because of the condition of the fretwork and glue on the neck around the frets.... Get this guitar if you like upgrading dear or just find the looks appealing. Maybe Ibanez will have Indonesian production of this model.
