My TCY10

I really like this guitar, Other guitars you really had to press hard for barre chords this takes little pressure I find to deliver the right sound, I find it easy to glide from chord to chord also my fender accoustic guitar is very bulky and my fingers hang up on some strings, I was sold on an Ibanez when my friend let me try his, man that all it took I was sold. and the tuner that ia incorporated seem to be spot on, all and all I recomend it for beginners and everybody that love a user friendly guitar.

Just not as good as expected. Plug it in for a better sound.

I hate writing a review for a company that I love. I have multitple Ibanex guiatrs and have never had a bad thing to say about them--but I have to admit that they 5 stars reviews kind of talked me into this one...and I was very disappointed. It does play well. If you are an electric player and want to play acoustic, this probably would be a guitar for you. The neck is thing--the action is good. AND when you plug in, the sound is good. The problem comes when it is unplugged. It sounds like a cheap child's toy. The highs are WAY to high and the lows are virtually non-existent, regardless of strings. I put various gauge string sets on and never found one that sounds good. Also, the body, which is light and easily handled, is also plastic feelings and cheap. It doesn't instill any kind of "nice" when you are playing it. It sounds good for recording, when plugged in...but you MUST plug it in. It simply is NOT an "acoustic" sounding guitar.

    I know you get what you pay for but this one came with 3 tuners not even mounted to the headstock, missing screws... The fret wires are way tiny...

    1) Yes, it's about an inch thinner. 2) Yes, it is. 3) A guitar tech at a GC store could do it.
