Wow read the end of this review from harmonycentral.
If he hates Ibanez so much why did he buy one? or better yet customizing one?

This guitar was made in the early to mid 1980s, as you can tell by its radical design and its nice 2 tone colors. The paint job is purple that fades to a pink, very 80s if you ask me. Has 2 humbucking pickups, I changed them out for Jacksons. The tremelo only goes lower, and not higher so you cant do the high bend thing which is probably why they didnt last, as that was the time for shredders who needed that option. I will be getting my paintjob redone, as the paint has started to shrink causin long cracks. locking tremelo system that the fine tuners seen to "walk" themselve off all the time. They should have just made it with a stop tailpiece, but that definately wouldnt have lasted with the meat head shredders.
Sound: 7
Sounds great now that I have replaced the pickups. The original ones just werent meatty enough for me. Definately not a guitar for ballads, but a great guitar for meatl.

This guitars intonnation sucks. Everytime I get it set up correctly, it ends up warping itself out within a month or two. Like I said, the finish is shrinking, and it is not even 20 years lod yet. The weak headstock snapped where the tuning keys are, so I have has to have it fixed several times.
Reliability/Durability: 1
Not reliable, not dependable, yet. I plan on having this baby chromed dipped, put on a custom maple Ibanez neck and work in some active EMG pickups. The only thing this guitar was good for when it was original was a conversation piece. What kind of conversation can you get from a pink and purple guitar that has issues of headstock snapping, a tremelo that only divebombs, and a neck that continues to warp? "Nice guitar body man, is it your moms?"

Do not like Ibanez as they mass produce piles of shit. Give some wood to a monkey and they could build a better guitar. Never had to deal with the company, and probably never will.
Overall Rating: 1
Ibanez should be burnt to the ground. Save your money and buy a Paul Reed Smith!!!!
