Great guitar for the price, sounds good. Keeps tune and feels solid. The electric preamp and tuner are a nice touch. The frets were a little sharp and cut into my hand at the beginning, but smoothed out a bit not that I've played the guitar some.

The guitar is decent enough for the price, but it lacks in a few quality control issues, as does most Ibanez products. Particularly, the rough edged frets on the neck.

Crafted by the renowned Ibanez brand, this guitar is a testament to high-quality construction and durability, designed to meet the demands of both live performance and studio sessions.
The slender, single-cutaway body of the AEG5012 not only provides a comfortable playing experience but also projects a powerful and balanced acoustic sound. Whether unplugged or amplified through an amp or PA system, this guitar delivers pristine tonal clarity, thanks to its spruce top - a wood choice favored for its vibrant acoustic properties.
The guitar's Okoume neck is meticulously shaped to enhance playing comfort, allowing for effortless transitions and extended play without fatigue. Complementing the neck, the Purpleheart fretboard is not only visually striking with its rich hue but also contributes to the guitar's tonal depth, offering a warm mid-range and crisp articulation.

The onboard Ibanez AEQ-TTS preamp with its intuitive two-control system allows for easy tonal adjustments - from full-bodied, rich sounds to bright, clear tones - all with a simple twist of the shape knob.
The onboard tuner, featuring a clear LCD display, ensures that your guitar is always in perfect tune, adding to the convenience and professional features of this instrument. Additionally, the Ibanez Advantage bridge pins make string changes quick and hassle-free, with a design that secures the string in place and prevents the pins from being pushed in too far.
