Thomann is been my music GAS station ever since and they've been doing a good job always.
Bought this guitar online, came in a box inside a brand's hard case. I picked up the guitar and did a full body inspection and didn't find any issues / defects. It is well built, quality is outstanding. The finish is "PLUMingly" good just like a candy. If you love purple, you'll be puking rainbows when you see this in person.
The factory setup is just "okay" because it came with a bit high action. The intonation is a bit off in 2 strings (maybe because I tightened the truss rod a bit). I lowered the action and it plays like butter now.
As being a first time Ibanez user, the neck is surprisingly comfortable compared to my Jackson Rhandy Rhoads and PRS 7 string Holocomb (I think not a good comparison with my 7string)
Tone wise, the Dmarzio pickup is more rounder in characteristic in the bottom end but not too hot like Seymour Duncan Alpha and Omega. But still it can chug - I have played metal with it and still awesome. The clean setting is soothingly good, it's articulate like fender.
I am very happy with this purchase so far, this guitar has been a head turner across the room since it arrived. So gorgeous!
