I realize this isn't the most expensive Ibanez ($999) and I'm use to playing Music Man Petrucci's exclusively so I didn't expect it to be on that level, but I kind of expected a thousand dollar guitar to not have these issues.
I kind of just got it to dink around on and maybe use as a backup. I got to try one out when The Acacia Strain was last in town and I really dug the neck profile on it. If I liked this one I was planning on getting one like Devin's (RGIX27FEQM) too.
It's beautiful for sure and I like how it feels, but the top of the fretboard looks like SHIT. It's scrapped up and some of the frets look pretty haphazardly glued. Also the gold hardware on the tuners looks like it's already tarnishing? I don't know if I should keep it or send it back. I had to buy a case for it too as for some reason Ibanez sends out these guitars in CARDBOARD BOXES.
Here's some pics- let me know what you think/would do:
