I bought this guitar for myself 7 years ago and I still love it. Nice quality, nothing feels cheap, everything still works, made in Indonesia. I like it so much, that I decided to upgrade it instead of buying a new guitar.
Now the problem. Recently I ordered one for my niece and lo' and behold, the guitar is called and costs the same, but it's not even in the same ballpark as the guitar I got 7 years ago. Made in China shows, like it really-really shows .... and feels. It is very sad that "mooar profheeet" can be pushed this far. Shame on Ibanez for this.
As for Thomann, great and professional service, packaging and delivery to notch.
