Ibanez PC12MHLCE-OPN

Ibanez quality check was done properly at the factory, no pointy fret edges, they were almost smooth as they should be. Fretboard is extremely dry maybe you can use some products to make it shiny and smoother. Guitar tension was was too high for my taste. Higher than martin ( i know its totally different level ). I made a re-search online to see the top piece was solid wood or just HPL, but neither on Ibanez page nor on thomann it wasnt mentioned as "solid okoume", but it wasnt mentioned as HPL either. To my ears I assume its HPL. Neck is smooth and clean, not sticky, but your hand is not sliding easily either. I liked the sound on speakers and on amp, it gave nice tone (bass and mid freq buttons work great for this price), however the acoustic sound itself came extremely dull to my ears. It doesnt give any warm sound, almost metallic (thats my personal opinion) basically if you are just starting or you need an additional cheap guitar to use outside, camp fire, pubs go for it. Ibanez quality is okay. preamp is good. guitar seem durable. however keep in mind at the end its full hpl guitar with a very reasonable price.
