I am a lucky guy to have found one of these...but...
I have the natural finish (almost gold now, probably from age). The necks were beyond repair...Warmoth to the rescue! This beast is just amazing. Not sure if the pickups are original but no matter, the tones are incredible! The great thing about the Ibanez over the Gibsons, the extra 3 position switch for the necks. You can really get amazing sounds! When you think, "who needs that?" Try it. Really sounds great. Crank it up through a tube amp and wow...

The original 80's Gunslingers are what you're looking for
I have a late 80's era USA made 'slinger. With a full shred II from Seymour Duncan (push/pull coil tap on volume knob included!) with an original Floyd whammy. Just unadulterated 80's guitar driven rock and roll machine dripping with sex and sweat. Stay away from the ones like in the picture...made in China junk. USA made are the ones. Nuthin' but shredding bliss. Wider than Strat but thinner than Gibson necks, make for fast solos

Nice, compact acoustic/electric guitar
See my review of the Telecoustic. Same guitar, different look, same results. Good guitar for the cash.

Killer KISS axe
I have the Lazer purple finish. Great stock pickups! This is the less expensive Paul Stanley guitar. But sounds and plays just like the spendy ones. Just no pocket emptying Paul frills. Simply rock-n-roll 6 string and classic look.

Want a Strat without the Strat price?
I have the tobacco burst finish. Only upgrade was a hotter pickup in the bridge position and bam! Instant less expensive Strat. Quality is far superior than the exp models. Better than an American Fender Strat? No...but damn close. Factor in the price? You're just about there...it's my go to axe for that Strat sound. Without the go to the bank feel in my wallet.

Great little acoustic/electric
I have this in the silver sparkle. Neck is easy to play, electronics are decent and its compact enough for excellent ergonomic sit and impromptu jam times. Easy on the pocket book as well.

One of the best playing guitars I own
Just incredible to lay your fingers on. 5 way pick up selection also makes for a wide array of sounds. Recorded a song using only this one guitar. (Besides the bass). Acoustic, electric rhythm and electric lead all with one guitar and multiple tracks proved this guitar is versatile. Well worth the money.

Love this guitar!
This is a serious block of furniture! Replaced the banjo tuners with gearless stienbergers and the Gibson stock pickups with Joe Bardens. Now it's even better. Great chunky rhythm and fat leads.
