Ibanez S521-BBS

Let me say it first: i am a beginner in playing guitar searching his way to intermediate level.
This is my second guitar and my expectations were to have a guitar that will help and give more pleasure and feedback on my learning phase. And this one exceeds them. The quality is perfect: no issues whatsoever on craftsmanship, the sound delivered is how I imagine it to be. Everything works as related to electronics and it feels to me like now i have a real musical instrument in my hands.
Guitar came out of tune but after tuning the intonation is good. Probably it can do better on action settings but I need to check in with a luthier for this.
I rated sound very good as this is my first HH guitar and not knowing exactly at this point where i might head to as pickups brands/sound when my ear gets more attuned. The 5 switch delivers a bunch of tones so it is very interesting playing around with it and see what i can get out of it - thinking about my own tone :)
I was expecting to have a guitar cable in the box but it was not there only the hex keys and the manual. no issues still as i have few of them laying around but just as a notice.
Highly recommend for a player like me : beginner or trying to get to intermediate.

Overall great guitar. Mais strong points being the thin, lightweight body, great for extended performances and the thin wizard III neck, which is comfortable for fast and easy play. Honorable mention to the finish with is wonderful (although subjective. at least was well made and executed)
Would Like to mention the the Jatoba fretboards: they are lighter and browner then illustrated in the guitar profile picture.
Pick-ups and okay i guess, cant expect much from stock picks and this price, but they get the job done.
Came nicely set up apon delivery.
great guitar for its price.
