Ibanez S470

Advantages: Sound and look like Joe Satriani's Ibanez JS
Disadvantages: Pickups arent the best...

...each sound from all the positions of the pickups. I dont particularly like the stock pickups, but they sound amazing for the price. Trust me, if you want a cheap guitar that looks and sounds great, this is the guitar for you. As Ibanez say, 'Ibanez, the guitar of tomorrow'. ...

Big, black and oh so beautiful

Advantages: Beauty and fantastic tone in one package
Disadvantages: I wish it said Gibson on the headstock

...end of the models that Epiphone can produce, both in looks and tone. I totally fell for this guitar, with it's beautiful deep black laquer, cream edging and three gold covered pickups before I'd even laid a finger on it. Now for the specifications: Mahogany/alder body and top Fitted mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard Block inlays 22 frets 2 volume and 2 tone controls 3 way pickup switch 3 Gibson designed humbuckers. Gold hardware. ...
...Gibson, but it runs it a close second for less than half the price. I have a mate with a music shop who can't get hold of one of these from Epiphone so he's badgering me for mine. Needless to say, he's more chance of knitting fog than getting it. ...

An Ace Bass

Advantages: Body Cut, Tone, Durability, Versatility
Disadvantages: Colour Choice

I love this Bass.. It has a really punchy sound and can be applied to any style of music. I recently stood in for a Jazz band at fairly short notice and had to use my Jaguar. It performed admirably and even recieved comments about the sound from both the drummer and pianist. Look wise the Jag also holds its own, I really like the fretboard inlays which remind me of my Lakland and the cut of the body makes it as comfortable to play sitting as standing. ...
...supplied with the Bass were pretty low quality and lacked a roundness in sound. I know you can get the odd set that is not right and I'm putting it down to this. But once changed the axe played fine. I would recommend this guitar to anyone and for the £650 I paid its a hell of a lot of wood for your money.. ...

Brilliant guitar, ultra fast and comfortable.

Advantages: Well made, plays great, smooth quick neck, comfortable guitar and low B
Disadvantages: Bad stock pickups, thin finish chips easily.

...in comparison. It's an Ibanez Prestige guitar so it’s top of the range, flawless construction, very comfortable and very easy to play with a thin smooth neck. It features the Edge Pro 7 which is Ibanez's own tremolo design and its fantastic, easy to palm mute on, easy to change strings, and keeps the tuning very stable. Now on to the bad, Ibanez has (presumably for cost) taken steps to make their finishes as thin as possible and that results ...
...you have to be very careful with it to keep it in good condition (something which I don’t mind, I babied it to near mint condition as with my other guitars). The pickups are awful, very muddy which means that you lose definition of notes, they blur in to each other under distortion when playing the low B, fortunately there is a wealth of decent 7 string pickups out there to remedy this problem. Also upping the gauge of the low B can help with muddyness, ...
