    As I said in my post, Ibanez have been guilty of a lot of terrible QC issues recently, so don't assume that because it looks pretty, all is right with the guitar. Check for over-rolled frets, badly skewed necks and big neck pocket gaps. My mate also mentioned issues with some of the trem set-ups (I think one was quite skewed). Not saying they are all going to be like this, but really try thoroughly before you buy and put on your 100% objective glasses.

    i actully purchased a new ibanez iron label last week my god was covered in black stuff a big hunk taken out of it a huge score down the back luckly i got it from a guitar place on ebay, i emailed them with pic's the same day it arrived they didn't even bother to answer the email after a week i got on to ebay, 6 hours after i did the guitar place rung me today with how sorry they were (yeah right) so ebay emailed me later today after reading the email and pic's i sent the guitar place with return post paid lable to send it back and refund my $2k back to me,

    Not all guitar places do dodgy stuff like that on Ebay a few weeks ago i purchased a new Ibanez steve vai jem (the white one) and it was perfect, i guess being in a chair i cant even get in the front door at guitar places in Adelaide so i either haft to arrange for home delivery which you cant try before i buy or i buy a lot of my gear on Ebay ill give a shout out to belfield music in NSW who are great i purchased a Marshall DSL20 head on monday night and was here today all boxed like it should. If ever you buy anything on Ebay pay with paypal and you wont get ripped off
