An amazing quality guitar
This guitar (I have a black one) sounds amazing. I got it from my dad. His parents bought it for him in the 80's, and since he couldn't really finger the guitar he had the lightest strings possible on it. About a decade later he put it away, and this year he gave it to me. The same strings and everything, and it was surprisingly mostly in tune. I tuned it up and it worked great! (needless to say I put new strings on it a few days later, similar to what he had on there.)
It's got a great, full sound and feels amazing. You don't have to press too hard or anything. (note: I almost never use a pick unless absolutely necessary, I always fingerpick or fingerstrum.) If you're looking for a good acoustic guitar, I would recommend this to almost anyone. Beginners, even pros (I haven't actually played any "pro" guitars though).
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Really light strings on it sound amazing, especially in an open tuning.

I have both of these guitars. The Ibanez is definitely a much better quality one, but if you're really on a budget the Squier one will do, especially if you're just getting in to guitar and you're not really sure if you like it or not.
