I bought the left-handed model. In its clean sound, it's neat but since it's a not very deep box, the sound intensity is not incredible. In amplified sound, it's magnificent with nice round bass and especially great fidelity of the pickups and preamp that reproduce the slightest sounds on the neck. My best guitar, knowing that for me Ibanez is the top value for money.

Appearance
The guitar is beautiful; the finish is of a very good level. It remains to be seen how it will hold up over time, especially the "vine" patterns on the fretboard.
Comfort
It is an extremely light and perfectly balanced guitar.
Once the neck is adjusted (rod), the comfort is almost perfect, just slightly marred by a somewhat rough fretboard, nothing serious.
Sound
The sound is very beautiful and I find it has a lot of volume for a "jumbo" guitar. My different tunings sound great. Beautiful resonance.
Regarding the electro-acoustic part: I haven't tried plugging it in (I will do my recordings with external microphones), so I can't say anything about that.
Tuning and string mechanics
I have a reservation regarding the tuning phase: a string broke on the first day and the tuning was punctuated by jerks (it makes a "clank"! from time to time) on two of the six strings, which is a bit annoying.
Apart from that, the guitar holds the tuning satisfactorily.
Quality
I don't have enough hindsight to judge the quality of the instrument over time, so I give it three stars based on the defects noted and presented above.

Correct for everyday fun. Nothing more.

I chose this guitar for its look, and the fact that it has a solid top. The warm sound and pleasant touch do not spoil anything. Too bad that upon receipt, I discovered an aesthetic defect on the bridge, very regrettable for a new guitar.
