Review Summary
2023-04-11T14:19:21
The guitar arrived well packaged in good condition; there was a small issue but I will touch on that later. I have used an Ibanez ajd91 for about 12 years, and I love it. This guitar is not as nice as the ajd but serves a different purpose. For the price it is great. The action is decent. The pick ups are so-so, but you can still get some good jazz tones. It is ready to play out of the box if you aren't replacing the strings like I did-but don't forget to remove the packaging foam from under the floating bridge. Also, if you aren't used to floating bridges there isn't a manual provided to inform you how to set it up. Just double the distance from the nut to the 12th fret and place the bridge there. Confirm the placement by playing harmonics on the 12th fret. I'm only taking a star off because my guitar arrived with the high e string broken. I had already purchased some flat wounds to replace them, but I can see how it would be a letdown for someone planning on playing stock strings.
