    Love the look and colors, the whole guitar is well put together, however, the frets could be rounded and smoother. Costs me additional $100 unnecessarily to have it corrected.

  • Ibanez really knocked it out of the park with this series

    I got this guitar as my first AZ model. I was nervous after ordering when I read reviews of people saying they hated it because of the neck. I've got to say it is different if you're used to the RG wizard necks, which are thin and lightening fast. The AZ necks are a little clunky and more C shaped, it's not bad, its different. It took a little bit of getting used to, but it plays so good, its fast, smooth, comfortable, and the roasted maple looks beautiful. Bottom line, the only way you can hate this guitar is if you are just too impatient to get used to the different neck.

  • Great guitar with distinctive tones!

    Smooth neck and magic tones with many colors of tone choices. It almost feels like Suhr Guitars with more tone choices. Priced more affordable compare with Suhr Guitars. Great guitar for the price!

  • Straight Rippers!

    These guitars absolutely rip i bought the HH Prestige version first. Then i ordered the HSS Prestige both play great and feel great. I barely have to tune these only when i change strings really the bridges on these models react so well and the trem feels like a dream.

    I absolutely loved everything about this guitar, and being a Prestige, it was every thing I have come to expect from the top tier of Ibanez products, except one small thing - I could not keep it in tune, no matter what i tried. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING about this guitar, I fell in love with immediately. Plays, sounds, feels, looks great, and great versatility too. Bottom line is if it wont hold tune, it's pretty much unusable. I'm sure I could have made some modifications to keep it stable, but I feel at this price I shouldn't have to spend any more to make it tune correctly. I wish they could take this exact guitar and fix the tuning issues I had with it, because it's awesome in every other aspect.
