    Thanks for this review man! was the best in TH-cam, I appreciate that you play the guitar without distortion, I could appreciate the sound better, I just bought this! I was expecting to buy a Squier Stratocaster Classic Vibe, but I've heard the quality has gone down...Because of it I've choosen to buy this one! I feel happy now :)

    I have four SA's. Love the body style though. SA and S bodies are all I play. None of them have the stock pickups. "To me" the sounds are just thin, shrill and ice-picky. Or some nasty harmonic my ear can't stand. Fender Noiseless work best "for me" for getting "Stratty" tones if I need them. Subscribed. Best Regards!

    @GravesGREECE 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Cannot decide between this or the pacifica 311h as a second guitar. I dont mind the tremolo or hardtail and the pickup configuration, just trying to buy as best quality for the money instrument i can. Going towards to the yamaha for the better woods, locking tuners and graphtech nut but im really considering this one also, especially for the looks. My main guitar is a MIM fender player series strat SSS and just looking for a second one,cheaper but not the lowest tier, with different pickup configuration than SSS to have arround. Any suggestions?

    • @PaulGlover
      @PaulGlover  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

Having this guitar under your roof, I have something you can blow that roof of with :) That guitar, Laney IRT Studio + Boss MT-2 set on 12,max+10,2+2, and 2 o'clock. Try the clean channel on the IRT + pedal ;) ....+ Boss NS-2 (I don't do actual gear demo's, so I leave it to the pro) Though I have made a kind of demo myself on my latest 7-string th-cam.com/video/oDcEWDz2-qw/w-d-xo.html I took up guitar seriously 3 years ago, this more or less the result, hope you kind of dig it.

    I bought this exactly one knowing that Ibanez would not let down on the quality of body work and fret work - on what I got - both are done terribly for this price.
    The gradient paint on the body is very sharp and it looks more like two colors - which looks just a stupid mess of painted flame.
    The neck is worse than most of any Squire or cheaper Ibanezes I had before. Two of the frets are significantly lower than others - no way to have even a descent action, not to mention anything within shredding ballpark.
    The plug in socket on SA is a design disaster - it's guaranteed for the finish on the edges to be chipped off or scratched no matter how carefully you plug/unplug. Mine got blemished on edges within a week of careful use, just cuz the jack happened to be tight.
    The tremolo is a joke compared to the cheapest one you can get on aliexpress.
    My worst purchase ever, especially considering that due to covid crap exchange or return was not an option.
    Very disappointed.

    • @piemmetubo
      @piemmetubo 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm very sorry for you bad purchase. I own a SA260FM that has the same electronics and tremolo. Probably I've been much more lucky than you, because my axe is awesome in every sense and I chose it after side-to-side comparing it with other more expensive ones of other brands.
      Actually it was the winner of a competition based on a long list of requirements - some of them quite "nerdy" - that I compiled before doing my pilgrimage to several shops of my town.
      The cherry on the pie is that I put it right away in the hands of my trusted luthier to do the setup according to my taste. The luthier confirmed me that the guitar went out of the factory in perfect condition.

      really badluck. But is also not a true shredder. Its more designed to cover all genres and a introduction to ibanez guitars for those who are afraid that ibanez does only shredders. Fret are definitely a problem for you so bad luck on that part but this happens to all time and cheap guitars, even squiers.
