This is my third guitar and it deserves fondling. I've named her Isis,and she plays and feels and looks like BUTTER.Malleable in my hands and it sounds better than my music teacher's Gibson.
Play plugged or unplugged. I'm headstock over heels. And the looks!!! Heidi Klum on the runway.
A must have and need I mention the price??
Listen up and don't wait any longer.Treat yourself. This guitar should be mandatory.

This bass is brilliant. I bought it 2nd hand for around £70. I couldnt believe how cheap it was. It is a fantastic bass for beginners or more advanced players who are keen to expand their collection. I play mainly metal so ibanez is fantastic at supplying metal guitars for those on a budjet. Purchase one of these or a Dean Metalman bass. You will never look back

Ibanez RGA32 - Mahogany Oil

The specs
Mahogany body, 3-piece mapleWizard II neck, rosewood fretboard, 24 jumbo frets, Gibraltar standard bridge, Ibanez LZ3-N (neck) & LZ3-B (bridge) humbucker pickups.

I wanted a guitar that had 24 frets, fixed bridge, could be easily hot rodded in the future with higher end pickups, etc. and basically didn't break the bank!
The RGA32 fitted the bill exactly.
The mahogany body adds sustain and more low end than other body woods. Very comfortable, especially with the contoured top.
The fixed bridge means better tuning stability, especially at this price range. I liked the Gibraltar bridge. More mass than a regular fixed bridge, thus more sustain.
The neck is the best thing about this guitar. Ibanez always make great necks - very comfortable, flat and easy to play chords and single note lines. ..even has a bound fingerboard! At this price, you would expect a cheap feeling neck, but the rga32 neck has a feel of quality. Also, the neck is slightly thicker than the prestige line, which i prefer.

The feel of the neck to body is rock solid and this maybe subliminal but it adds to the overall feel of the instrument.

The pickups are active, which give more umph than regular passive pickups - good crunch tones and quite good clean sounds, but don't expect strat-like clean sounds. This is aimed at a rock type player. If you need a different sound, then you just need to replace the pickups.

At this price range, i think you have to do your research on squeezing the most guitar for the money. Ibanez, i think are the best at providing value for money, thus the rga32 is a solid foundation to hotrod, making the instrument useful for years to come.

I am extatic with my purchase!! top quality guitar, i have literally been playing it until my fingers have been bleeding&then some more!! :) xoxo

I bought this guitar, for the price and wasnt expecting anything beyond mediocre. However upon recieving the guitar i was shocked at the quality of the natural sound and of the pickups. I was not expecting much from this product but its true to its description its a cheaply priced guitar with very high end features.

The Ibanez JEM7V is an amazing guitar which every guitarist would want in their arsenal.Apart from the beautiful colour and shape.It has a Vine inlay and Dimarzio Evolution pickups.It has a divine crystal clear tone when in clean, and a beautiful modern rock/metal sound when in distortion.However it also has amazing sound for soloing/shredding. It is very versitile and can play any variety of music from jazz/blues to metal/shredding.If you have the money for one of these-then this would be the guitar to get.(If not for the fact that Steve vai has one)

I LOVE this guitar. Not only is it beautiful, it has transformed my performance on an acoustic. The tuner is excellent. The XLR port gives fantastic quality sound repro' and the sound is awesome! It's a sycamore/maple top so the top end is clear and sharp, but the big body gives massive base as well. I challenge anyone who's actually played this guitar to beat it with another guitar of this price range and probably above. If you're chosing between this guitar and another, buy this one. AWESOME! A+

This is a classy bass in every department - make no mistake.

With the ATK300 Ibanez has produced a high quality bass which combines tonal versatility, high build quality and excellent value for money.

I play in a band that performs a wide range of styles from rock to funk and pop and this bass does justice to all of these styles.

The triple coil pickup alone gives excellent sound variation. Add in the 3-band EQ and you have everything you need to get 'that' sound.

The fittings are all high quality, substantial and well crafted. I can't think of any feature that has been compromised to save a few quid from the cost of manufacture.

I have found this bass excellent to play: slap, hammer, rock and roll - it does it all. The overall is solid and comfortable both in rehearsal and at the gig.

If you get the chance to try it out; do. You could spend a lot more money getting something inferior.

Oh, and the ATK300 looks good too!

i love this guitar, bought it from huddersfield branch 2 weeks ago. easy to play, the sound is just brilliant, was looking at the yellow one, but saw the black version and that was it!!thanks alan - and my dad!!

Received this from Dolphin a couple of weeks ago. First thing is it's a great looking guitar. Lots of curves in all the right places! It's a pretty straight-forward design with 2 humbuckers and 3 pots for tone/volume. The one I received does have quite a bit of fret-buzz all up the neck but I've heard Ibanez guitars aren't really setup out of the factory so a guitar-tech should be able to sort it out. It's a very comfortable shape and everything seems like it's good quality (in particular I like the machine heads). Gives good sustain and a great sound from the neck pickup. Overall assuming a decent setup will sort out the buzzing I'd recommend this one.

Ibanez make some of the best guitars in the world, and this guitar is no exception. If you didn’t know the price of this guitar you wouldn’t realise that it was as cheep as it is. The feel of the neck and fret board is very comfortable. It is one of the best sounding guitars at this price range that I have ever had the pleasure of playing. The pickups sound wonderful, you can play anything from Rock, Pop, Heavy Metal and you can also play some blues if you play around with the tone switch.

The Sat 10 bridge allows for plenty of sustain on all six strings, the tremlo arm is really comfortable to use, and sound great too. The tuning on this guitar is ROCK SOLID.

Whatever your ability is, do your self a favour and buy this guitar today. You won’t be disappointed.

My RGR421EXFM was made in Indonesia in 2006. It's an awesome guitar, 24 jumbo frets, maple body, flamed top, HardTail bridge, and a very smooth and thin wizard neck. It has a pair of active Ibanez humbucker pickups that were designed by EMG, a 3-way selector, a tone knob and volume knob. No idea what the tuners are, but it's damn hard to knock it out of tune.
I play loads of metal (Slipknot, Stone Sour, Rammstein, Linkin Park, Korn) and this guitar is made perfectly for it. I also play a bit of alternative music, such as Franz Ferdinand and Snow Patrol, and it can easily match the sound. I use a Boss ME-50 multi-effects pedal plugged into a Roland Cube 30, and when you swing the distortion up, it handles it excellently, with a little feedback and buzz, but this is hardly irritating. The neck pickup sounds very bassy and mellow, and is great for soloing in clean. The neck pickup is more suited to the rhythmy sounds, and metalheads like myself tend to hang around here. It has a lot of sustain, and it's very easy to get some wicked screaming harmonics out of it. I think this guitar is made to combine lead and rhythm guitar for players, it can play both roles really well. I'll probably end up putting some real EMG pickups into it, for a more metally sound, but at the moment the pickups are perfect. It's just a really versatile instrument.
I got the guitar straight from the box, so it was pretty much all set up for me. Action is awesome, and the pickups are set up perfectly. I don't tend to shred or play incredibly fast, but you can tell this guitar would be capable of such demands, even if the neck is not as thin as a guitar like the RG 1570. I have found no flaws with this guitar yet (except perhaps me). And the finish is absolutely awesome! The flamed top in a very dark red cherry colour is just beautiful. You could easily pick up some chicks just by walking past with this beast.
The guitar could handle a gig quite well. I haven't had the opportunity to go to one with it yet, since I've only had it for about 10 days. It will definitely last a long time, I've bumped it against book cases and other things while practicing and it's not scratched at all. You would have to absolutely smash into a brick wall at 100 miles to get this thing out of tune too. The strap buttons are safe, and will never let you down, unless you start fiddling with them and undoing them. I don't think you'd need a backup when you're using it, but I'm a very precautious person, so I probably would bring a backup. And the finish is fine so far, it's withstood my rough playing so far, so it's good.
This guitar is oriented mainly for the metal crowd, but it can so easily play softer music, such as alternative rock, progressive rock, and even blues. I have no regrets for buying this guitar. I was tossing up between getting an RG1570 in mirage blue, but I ended up getting this because of the security and assurance of the fixed bridge. I can just get a tremolo bar effect on my effects pedal anyway. If it were stolen, I would definitely get another, but I think this is a limited edition model, so it might be hard to get hold of in the future. The pickups are the best thing about this guitar. They're so versatile, and for the price of the guitar, it is definitely worth it just for those. I think the coolest feature is the finish, it's very sexy. The only thing that I wish it had was real EMG pickups and not Ibanez ones designed by EMG. Also, there might be people Who don't like the body shape, since it's more of a metally look, compared to Strat or Tele, which is more conservative. For those thinking that, look past the shape and listen to the sound. You can get more variety of sounds out of this puppy than a Strat. It's just a fantastic guitar worth every dollar. You can't go wrong.

Excellent case for most Ibanez electrics with moulded logo, feet, clips, keys and everything! Really tough ABS and metal with moulded lining that provides very snug fit for guitar. Has a couple of moulded recesses inside for tremolo arm/lead/picks etc. No lidded compartments inside but nothing moves about when case is closed (only reason I gave it 9/10 stars). Looks like it should withstand years of abuse while protecting your guitar perfectly. In summary, if you have an Ibanez electric then you have to have one of these. More expensive than generic case but well worth it.

I couldn't have been more pleased with this guitar. It looks fabulous and sounds tremendous.
It also has the built in tuner which is so handy.
For the price that you pay for this guitar its a bargain.

I'd been toying with the idea of a 12 string for a while. After much shopping around i finally settled on the Ibanez AEL2012ETKS. I'm absolutely delighted with my choice, upon arrival the first thing i noticed was the finish. Online i thought it looked really nice but on other websites the design looked slightly different, almost dulled down, so i was wary about what it would actually look like. The finish is more beautiful than any pictures i've seen online. Very unique.
The neck and body feel great, in fact everything on this guitar feels and looks like alot of care went into the manufacturing.

the sound of course is amazing, a full, jingly vibrant sound as you'd expect from a 12 string, completely fills the room, both unplugged and through a speaker system. This is actually my first guitar with an onboard tuner, and i was surprised at how accurate it is and how easy to use. With the added bonus of an XLR output on top of the standard, this guitar has everything you could possibly want out of a 12 string electric acoustic. The price has actually come down since i got mine, and even then it was a bargain. Great quality product, used it in a few gigs already and people (including other guitarists) are very impressed. Highly recommended!

I should also mention Dolphin's great service, arrived within 2 days and was very well packaged. Cheers guys!

I chose this Ibanez after endless searches for a black acoustic, albeit that there aren't that many.
I'm a firm Ibanez fan already using an RG and a couple of their Basses. This one was a bit of shot in the dark for me, and overall I'm not disappointed. With a rating of 7 (hard one to call that)
I'm not going to start to pull every detail of this guitar apart.
My main observations: very nice finish, albeit a bit on the thin side. Suspected and now sadly confirmed very easy to chip the black finish. Action is bordering on painful to the fingers, but easily rectified and I guess in this price range you can't expect too much factory setting up. My one real gripe is the electrics - maybe I expected too much having chosen the B-Band against piezo, I find the controls quite annoyingly unresponsive, and the 1/4 jack input is 'very' insecure..lots of crackling (with a known good cable) with just normal movements during playing. Now that's just simple quality control - poor show Ibanez. Nice sound unplugged and hopefully even better when the action is sorted out.
