+: Checks sent on Friday, guitar sent from Woodbrass on Wednesday and received the next day (chronopost express delivery) =D Careful packaging, but well it's an art at Woodbrass! I had tested the guitar before so no surprise, a very good guitar for its price ^^ -/+: The settings were abominable but it's quickly done at home since the keys are delivered with it. Except for those who are afraid for their freshly arrived protected and who will take it to a luthier (who will perfectly adjust this pretty one) +: The pickups are good! I thought it was due to the store's overpriced amp but even on my modest Fender it sounds very good. Guitar for both beginners and advanced players (personally I will put slightly heavier pickups on it) +: Impeccable look even if I don't like bare pickups ^^ - : Gets dirty after 5 minutes ^^ It's black...

hello everyone, for my first electric guitar, I am really not disappointed. I wanted a branded guitar with a good quality-price ratio, I think for beginners you can't do better. the guitar has a great color with a high-quality finish. the vibrato is more than correct and moreover with 3 pickups including 2 humbuckers, it's a lot of fun. the overall quality is really impeccable. delivered set up, I took a sound modeler and battery-powered amplugs, it's the best! everything to enjoy (and with good headphones or good earphones you don't bother anyone) with sounds ranging from classical to very trash. On a 15-watt amp, it's a treat, for a beginner it's more than enough. thanks to the whole Woodbrass team for their advice, serious always attentive with top delivery what more to ask? see you later jc...

quite an aesthetic guitar with a comfortable neck and easy to play especially in the highs, unlike other guitars. The pickups are very versatile: I use the 2 humbuckers for rock, hard, metal and the single coil for blues, pop, funk and clean sounds in general. I play with the vox vt 20+ amp which is a good amp, it costs about 150 euros. One small flaw though, the guitar goes out of tune very quickly if you use the vibrato, it's better to set the guitar with a fixed bridge. Despite that, I think this is THE guitar for beginner to intermediate players or even advanced players short on money because this guitar has an excellent quality/price ratio.

Hello, Order placed on 03/11/08 around 1 or 2 am, received this morning 04/11/08 10:00 can we do faster I don't think so :o)) Otherwise regarding the guitar it is even more beautiful than in the photo....it's my first guitar (always borrowed my brother's) nice sound I think good value for money for a small beginner model ;o)) I took a Line 6 Spider III 15 w with it it rocks quite a bit to start well and have fun... only small hiccup the volume of the drive amp that needs a little adjustment after changing channels I am very happy with this purchase at least for the first 2 hours ^^ hats off for the delivery

Another great delivery by Woobrass, a super good guitar for Hard and Metal, a middle position that will delight all rock fans of strat style. a vibrato that does not hold the tuning at all, but very easy to use especially for Van Halen's Eruption. Otherwise, in short, a perfect guitar for beginners and non-beginners (which is my case), This guitar is a beast for concerts and especially for sweep and very metal solos (24 frets) One thing to say thank you Ibanez and especially thank you Woodbrass

Ordered on Sunday, July 5th, I received it just before 10am that day. Hats off for this fast delivery. About the product, nothing to say, perfect. To start, it's perfect without spending too much. However, I almost bought only the guitar with the amp. Fortunately, I realized that other elements were needed (pick, stand, strap, strings, etc...). Thanks again to the Woodbrass team, I think that in 1 or 2 years, I will order again to be able to progress. Best regards.

I have the same one for left-handed. It's the perfect guitar to start in the world of metal and rock of course! Its look is awesome, in black it's stunning! The distortion is really nice (bridge pickup), and I really like the clean sound (single coil pickup). The playability is super fast, making huge progress! On the downside, the double neck pickup which I find really useless for both distortion and clean. Anyway, at this price, no hesitation.

Very good guitar. Blown away by the sound delivered when distorted, clean is a bit "dry". Vibrato of quite good design, 22-fret highway neck made for shredding, perfect hardware, tuning machines that hold the tuning well even with hard use of the vibrato, beautiful color with "little sparkles" on the body I recommend this guitar

Superb Guitar. Very comfortable neck, perfect playability, only downside is that as soon as I touch the vibrato the whole guitar goes out of tune, which is very unfortunate. But apart from that, I am very satisfied with this magnificent Back Night *Yum* :) I've been enjoying playing it since I got it... =)

I've had this guitar for a good while, 2 years. And, for starting out, it's great. The sound isn't bad, the finish neither, and the neck is a highway neck (the fingers slide perfectly on it). I highly recommend it as a first Rock/hard-rock metal guitar.

Super fast delivery as usual! Good guitar, it's a change from my storm!! Tested on amplitube due to lack of amp, it sends steak but I think I'll change the pickups for EMG, to be continued...!! Thanks Woodbrass for the quality of service...

Superb instrument!! Great value for those who love quality and heavy metal sound :) No need to invest more to have fun! The Ibanez Black Night is really superb and provides a great sound both clean and distorted. You won't be disappointed
