Has anyone had experience with Ibanez?

I'm going to get an Ibanez stratocaster soon and I was wondering if anyone has had experience with these guitars? I am thinking about getting an RG series guitar because I like the style of it and the reviews look good. The only problem is the reviews were only 5 out of 5 star reviews and I was starting to think that the company had started to post their own testimonials on the website. Anyways, does anyone have an honest opinion on Ibanez Sratocasters (Or "Strats" as many people know them as)?

Oh yes, I am very familiar with the Ibanez, stratocaster style guitar, I have one, and I really like it! I have played a fender strat, and the difference,"to me" is the price! The Ibanez is less expensive, than the Fender, and I play professionally every weekend with mine! What you are going to run into is, every once in a while, they'll make one that's a lemon, but after you play it for a while, you'll know, and if it plays good you keep it! I've had good luck with Ibanez basses, and guitars, even the acoustic ones!

Thank you very much. I'm almost definitely going to get an Ibanez now. The only question I have left is: Which series is a good one to get? I've heard that the RG series is good and I like that style, but those are on the expensive side. Would you recommend any series that is good?

Ei, Ibanez guitars are good especially when its made from U.S. Some Ibanez guitars that are not U.S. made are not nice to purchase. There are also alternatives than Ibanez like Gibson, Epiphone , Washburn and a lot more. You just need to play the guitar before purchasing it and really listen good to the music that i creates so that you can choose a good guitar.
