I've had a lot of higher end guitars from Taylor's limited hot rod Namm show edition to keisel customs. This guitars quality is second to none I have had many acoustics all brands Taylor, Epiphone, Adamas, and ibanez and finger style to traditional acoustics this guitar's sound is amazing deep rich tone and nice wide neck for space on the fretboard for hybrid picking to spacious runs and finger picking. This guitar will NEVER leave the arsenal, well done Ibanez. Action was way too high saddle needed sanding was the only downside in my opinion but some like the higher action I'm a hybrid picking shredder so I like a lower action but someone like my dad would love to hammer away on those medium guage strings with more action than a John wick movie. Absolutely no fret buzz whatsoever absolutely love the guitar. Warning this guitar has a very WIDE neck almost like a traditional classical suits me fine because all the 8 strings and 7 strings I play it was one of the reasons I went with this model.
