I love Paul music and style and, wishing to emulate him, even on a low budget way, I purchased this guitar.
Unfortunately, I've been really dissappointed with it: You get what you paid for, is not the best deal.
The sound is not bad but the touch of the maple neck feels like those of the cheap beginner's guitar+amp bundles.
THE BEST:
The pick-ups get a great sound, bright, aggressive but also versatile for a wide range of tunes.
THE WORST:
The building of the guitar, it's impossible to keep it on tune for more than 2 minutes, that makes even playing a single song almost impossible if you want to perform correctly.
I would recommend it as a beginners guitar, but because of how easy it looses the tuning, I would recommend other type.
Probably the tunning loss is due to the fact that is a 3/4 guitar, but still, after all those stickets and "quality seals" of Ibanez, I was expecting something with more playable quality.
As a collection guitar is cool of course, but not a real option to practice in the long term.
PS: I dont want to sound like a hater of the guitar or the brand. I've been playing guitar for 20 years and have a colection of around 12 guitars. I'm actually sad it didnt fill my expectations. Sorry.
