The guitar itself is EASY to play. This is coming from a beginner also. The neck is slick and easy to maneuver around on. The action was set good from the start and the frets are finished nicely and even.
My gripe is with the shipping company who beat this box up containing this guitar. UPS leaves it at my garage and just walks off while I am saying hey this box seems roughed up. No response from driver and the company takes no responsibility for the damage they caused in transit. There is a significant dent to the edge of the body just above the rear strap connection point. There is also a significant ding to the headstock, which I would say is NEVER good. Again! NOT THE SELLER’S FAULT. This is damage from careless handling in transit.
Craftsmanship of this entry level guitar is off the charts. With the obvious rough handling in shipping this thing has ZERO issues being played. The neck is true even after taking a shot in shipping that chipped the headstock. It plays very easily and has no issues with intonation or the action. If Ibanez’s low end guitars are built this well, I can’t wait to try out some of the higher end stuff. I have nicknamed this guitar times, as it took a beating and kept on jamming.
This also makes this guitar a dang good bang for the buck guitar. You get a durable guitar, with solid features that is super playable right out of the beat up box.
This also makes this a great option for beginners also. You aren’t going to waste time and money having to get the action setup. You aren’t going to waste time with anything you don’t want to. Just open it up and start learning to play.
I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about this guitar for the price. I thought, well if it is cheaply made, I can just send it back. I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised. I have even tried a few songs with very low, drop B tuning, and this guitar has done great holding tune even down low. I did catch a little fret buzz in drop B, but I mean the action was never touched, so it is surprising it want horrible that down tuned.
All in all, I am super happy with he seller and the guitar! Both have exceeded my expectations!

Second one is much better. Don't expect perfection, both guitars have superficial damage to the body. The neck had some leftover adhesive from the binding.
I cleaned up the neck with some 1000 grit sandpaper, polished the frets, and oiled the fretboard (it was so dry it was light gray). Now its a fantastic guitar. Would definitely recommend to anyone willing to do a little work to finish the job.

I was skeptical but the Strings, frets, fretboard, neck, bride, truss rod everything is in good condition. Packing was surprisingly good, there was not a single dent or scratch on the packing box. Well done this time both Bajaao and Amazon for good packaging and delivery
And by the way don't expect a bag or an accessory, it's just the guitar in the box nothin else.
