Sounds better than others I've found at 4 or 5 times the price.
Intonation is very good.
Action is good. Looks really nice, too. Since I didn't pay too much for it, I didn't have to worry so much about it being destroyed by airline luggage apes. This would be an ideal beginner's guitar. I don't like the fact that I can't find out anything about this guitar from Ibanez by web or by phone.
