After proper setup, buzz on just one note on one fret, way down the fretboard, where the fingers rarely go. Put on flat wounds and wow!. Very impressed indeed by lovely sound. Same pickups as a lot of the more expensive ArtCores. The unusual finish will make this guitar a cult item. It's like Marmite. You will either love the looks or hate the looks. What is unescapable though is the quality of the sound. The minimalistic approach has given a great sound, and unless 'face' and fashion are important for you this is Ibanez's bargain. You must set it up properly though. My guess is, for those who upgrade the tuners and pickups, you will have a guitar that punches way, way, above it's weight. It's about time these types of finishes are available at the lower end of the market. For those who buy at Project Music, setup and a hard case are included. I bought mine from Thomann, so had to get the guitar setup properly.
