### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guitar for the price.

Love this guitar.. It plays great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best guitar I've bought in this price range
*by Z***H on May 15, 2021*

Plays like a dream. Ibanez are my go-to for more budget guitars, as it's hard to beat the quality for the price. This model came with fresh strings, and holds its tune very well - even in the fluctuating climate where I live. Sounds great through my audio interface, and no weird string buzzing like I get from some other guitars in this price range. It's now my go-to for pick up and play sessions.
