A glimpse towards perfection
The guitar presents a high-level aesthetic, and will be appreciated especially by people who prefer the natural look of wood.
The sound is very good from a timbral perspective (with the specific nature of the wood essences of the resonance box: spruce and maple). The acoustic sensitivity to details and interpretation refinements is also very good. The fingerboard is very well made and finished.
However, I encountered two small aspects that disadvantage the whole: (1) the neck is a bit too thin (42mm, although on the Ibanez website it appears to be 43 mm; it seems a negligible difference, but this will cost the player missing certain chords); (2) the strings that the guitar comes with are a bit too thick for the standard tuning (EADGBE).
A surprise: neither the Ibanez nor the Thomann website mentions that the guitar comes with two bridges, one metal and one wooden. (The metal one is installed by default.) And I confirm that the wooden bridge brings an extra finesse and articulation to the sound.
