Ibanez JEMJRL-WH

guitar quality is absolutely great .. gone through multilple guitars over the years and all i can say is that ibanez doesnt miss a beat.. the thomann packaging was pretty interesting and left alot to be desired with alot of just wrapping paper in a box with the ibanez guitar box inside of that..

the features on the guitar are great.. the fret buzz is minimal and the frets and finish are high quality on the neck .. the neck quality is great but not high enough quality to get a paint job on the neck without the paint soaking through.. the pickups are decent quality but aren't up to the same standard as some Seymour duncans or fishman pickups.. the tuners are also really good and can stay in tune for quite the play session .. i play guitar about 3 - 5 hours a day and have to tune it once every 2 days..

the floyd is great but cant recommend it to people who are new to guitar or intermediate players who experiment with other tunings .. but. its a high enough quality trem to be able to do flutters and really clean ones that cut through the mix .. if you hit the trem too hard you can hear some extra string noise but isnt an issue if you mute with your fretboard hand.

overall its a really great guitar .. you cant ask for too much for a $500 guitar but this really does come with alot of handy features you cant find in alot of guitars in this price range (with ibanez atleast)
