Finding a semi-hollow with an ebony fretboard, bone nut, and flame maple body in a es-335-size guitar for around $600, used, is a good deal in my book. The fit and finish of this Ibanez is excellent, and I like the tone from the Super-58 humbuckers (the neck pick-up even has a coil-split). Really, the only thing I didn't like about it is the gold-colored hardware, as this color wears off somewhat with skin contact, and I also found the pick-guard to be too high for comfort. I made my own out of lexan, and routed it to fit between the pick-up mounting rings, instead of up on top of them like the original. The label inside the body said "made in China", but when I entered the serial # into a search site, it said that the guitar was made in Korea. Either way, Asian made of high quality.

The bottom 3 strings that came with the guitar sounded "tinny". The pickups are rather "bright" for jazz. I replaced with flat wound and that helped. By boosting the bass and attenuating the treble I got a more balanced mellow jazz sound. I had to tighten the keyboard nut a half turn so that I could get the clearance at the octave down to 0.035". The guitar is now playable and I've enjoyed my last 2 gigs with it. It's really, really pretty. Cheers, Steve.

Great guitar. Fat neck and excellent tone. Much more versatile than just a jazz box.
