This guitar is a gem, the value for money is unbeatable in my opinion! In terms of craftsmanship and finishes, I found nothing to complain about. The guitar arrived perfectly set up according to Ibanez's recommendations, and even almost perfectly tuned. I don't know exactly if the fretboard and strings "undergo" a protective treatment before delivery, but it took me 1 to 2 hours of intense playing for everything to settle and for the playing comfort to arrive, but once broken in, this instrument is incredible and absolutely comfortable. The pickups sing, the neck has a perfect texture, and the tuning stability is excellent even when torturing the vibrato. Big crush!
