Excellent feel and quality
Standard Ibanez build quality. The neck is thicker than what I'm used to from them, but it's not a bad thing. It feels very stable and comfortable to chug on. However, it's still a shred machine too. The bridge is fantastic, as well as the locking nut. It certainly needs a proper setup, but after that, it'll hold a tune like a champ.
The pickups are extremely clear. However, they are not as hot as I would like them to be. This is an excellent platform for pickup upgrades down the road.
My only complaint is that it's not very versatile. However, this product is straight up about that. It's certainly not trying to be versatile. For a rhythm guitar, this is excellent. If you want leads, I would swap the neck pickup out. But, I knew that going into purchasing this. Definitely a recommendable guitar!

Positives : The overall quality of the build is very good. The guitar has powerful pickups, excellent playability and the string action can be set very low. The ebony fretboard is very comfortable, it feels glassy and smooth and really adds to the whole "built to go fast" feel.
Negatives: The cutaway is not deep enough to reach the 24th fret comfortably like you would on an RG for example, it should allow for a bit more space for the left hand, you always seem to be hitting the guitar body when going for the final frets.
The lack of fret inlays takes a bit of getting used to, especially on the high frets, where the side dots are not so much helpful, as they are a distraction, because of the angle at which you look at them (the angle makes you miss by a fret, so it is better to go by feel, then rely on them on the higher frets.
