Purchase: Bought it for 315SGD (Singapore Dollars) from a local music store. That will be about 150USD. Got the Orange one cause i wanted to be different from the usual Black and Blues.
Being a beginner, it is the perfect model for me as it will last me until i am ready to make the "big jump".
Pros: Nice looking Ax with 1 humbucker and 2 single coils, and for a good price. Extremly solid looking and not *that* heavy. Has the wonderful Ibanez hardcore rock feel and a nice tremolo system. Nice S cutting and curve.
Does both Ryhthm and Lead well although it is a betterlead guitar,like most Ibanez guitars.
Cons: A bit of problem with the overall finish. Gets out of tune fast. Sound for price.
Quality: Can't expect killer sounds on this Ax, its really worth what you pay for. Overrall the looks of this guitar is really nice. Good finish of the fretboard. Not really pleased with the paintjob but for the price i paid, its good stuff generally speaking. Summary: Really good beginner ax for someone like me.(Wants to learn with a decent guitar and then make that investment in 2 years time. Personally its gonna be a Gibson Les Paul :D)Get a good tuner to go with this guitar though.
A real good buy!

Purchase: Local music shop in Israel. The squiers looked and sounded like sh!* so I looked for somthin else. Cost about 1500 shekel which is ~US$330 (a Squier costs around $260 in Israel so...) Should cost about $200 in the states.
REAL nice gsa body caught my eye and it sounded MUCH better than a squier.
Pros: Nice sexy body with no hard edges. Real sweet sound. Perfect finish except... The HSS pickup config gives you a wide range of sounds. The overal look and feel of the guitar is great. I'll probably scrach the hell out of the finish (no ugly pick gaurd!) The color "transparent butterscotch" (yellow) is intersting?
Looks like a serious guitar.
Cons: It takes a while to get used to the S body which seemes a bit flimsy at first (good for chicks) but I'll get used to it. The pickups look cheap but sound ok. You cant change the hight of the individual strings wich is too bad, the 6th string gets a bit buzzy when I play too hard. The humbucker is crooked which I didn`t notice in the store but the sound is fine so I'll leave it alone. There are a few minor flaws in the finish, baerly noticable.
Quality: The bolt on neck is rock hard. The knobs fall off if you help them (like everthing else). The tuning pegs needed a tightning but know there fine. The construction is much better than a squier. You can tell it will not fall apart. Summary: A good guitar for a serios beginer who dosn't intend to buy another ax "when he gets better". It's a bit more expensive than the infomus squier but is well worth the buck. Too bad musiciansfriend dosn't ship overseas.

Purchase: I paid 209.99 for this 'unit' at musiciansfriend.com
Pros: I really like the look of it, and it plays very easily. It sounds better than a fat strat fender stratocastor (which is in the same price range 300 dollars) in my personal opinion.
Cons: It gets out of tune pretty easily, but i really like it.
Quality: No scratches or anything, no knicks, its a good guitar. Summary: Its a great guitar for the price, a great first guitar, and in my opinon a great guitar in general.

Purchase: I bought this from a dealer that ordered it from musicians friend for about 190 bucks (although the guy gave me 30 bucks worth of straps, polish, tuner, etc.
Pros: I love this guitar...period...Its solid construction and crunching tones make it perfect for me. This thing can take a beating but somehow manages to stay in one piece. I got it in jewel blue and i absolutely love it.....My best friend and bandmate has an 85 Gibson Les Paul Studio and for some crazy reason i prefer to play my Ibanez......i just love the way this thing sounds when u mute those low chords in drop d! it just makes me want to cream my pants! Great Buy!
Cons: There are a couple of downers on this thing though.....The tuning is less than adequete and my freakin volume knob fell off! i just glued it back on and its working fine now so no biggee..........The abscense of pickguard, though kik @$$ in looks, results in some pretty bad scratch marks on the body.....
Quality: The construction is solid......i love it.....i needed to get some work done on the bridge due to some buzzing of the bridge against my body when i would tune to drop d but ibanez was great about it and got it fixed immediately free of charge! The tuning is a bit of a bummer when recording (I use a Boss BR532, great product also) but not a big deal Summary: The bottom line is this is a great guitar......being a 14 year old kid still in school and having no job it is hard to come across enough to pour into an expensive guitar but this guitar, though inexpensive, is great for my needs....ill leave the shredding to my lead guitarist!!!!!!!if you are looking for a great piece of equipment for a tiny wad of dough, BUY THIS THING!!!!i think you will be happy with the result......if you have any questions or comments or are interested in a demo of my band (which i would recommend.....pretty sweet stuff)email me at dramafreak323@hotmail.com

Purchase: I bought this in a local shop in Germany. The price was about 150.-
That's not bad for such a good effect box!!!
Pros: There are so many sounds you can ¨make with it. In the beginning I didn't like all the programmed sounds, but now I've changed all of them (very easy to do) and like them all. Light weight and compact.
Cons: You can't change how much wah you want. It's just wah or not wah...
Quality: Good quality, lasts for a long time. Great construction, solid and nice to look at.
Summary: Well, if you are a beginner or just want a solid pedal for use everywhere, this is your choice.

Purchase: I bought this guitar at my local shop(Daddy's Junky Music)for 210 big ones. I bought it because of extensive and consistant good reviews and reccomendations from other players. This is my first guitar.
Pros: I like the overall look of the guitar. The S series body and the jewel blue finish look wicked cool! The neck is a bolt on but feels like a million bucks! Nice frets, good for bending. This guitar can obviosly be used for all perpouses but where it shines is with distortion. When i crank it with my peavy 15Gblazer it hauls some serios bottom heavy metal ass! Definitly a guitar for my fellow metal heads!Ummmmmmmmmm......the knobs are compact and durable,and the bridge looks neat(cool chrome color). I also like the fact that going friggin nuts on stage isnt going to be a problem due to the wieght of this guitar.got 6 month warranty i think.
Cons: If u so much as touch the wammy bar, this guitar goes out of tune, but i normally dont use it so it's not a big problem. The 2 single coils are pretty noisy. The only other thing is that the strings that came on mine suck! I dont know if they're installed at the factory or what but they are crap! My suggestion, buy some D'addrio's in advance.
Quality: pretty durable i guess. i havnt put it to that much abuse. it smudges easily tho, it have to polish constantly to keep it from looking like crap.bolt on neck, agathis body... pretty good construction i suppose. Summary: GOOD JOB IBANEZ! I WOULD SUGGEST THIS GUITAR TO NEBODY WHO IS SERIOUS ENOUGH ABOUT LEARNING THE GUITAR AND IS REALLY GOING TO PLAY. DUE TO THE COST IT MAKES FOR A RATHER EXPENSIVE BEGGINER GUITAR BUT IT IS WORTH EVRY PENNY! GREAT FOR METAL.PLAYS REALLY NICE TOO. AWSOME GUITAR! BUY IT! YOU WILL LOVE IT! IT IS THE SEXIEST AXE THAT HAS EVER BEEN CREATED(cept for santana se's and zakk wyldes les paul)!

Purchase: Online from Musician's Friend for $200 with free gig bag - steal deal
Pros:
Cons:
Quality: Summary: I'm a beginner on electric and had an ol samick before i bought this one. The best thing I did..it has a real warm tone which can morph into different sounds depending on the setup..I use a small marshall amp with Zoom effects and it's about the best i can expect at this stage. I bought it in black and the frets and everything are good size and feel. A must for any beginner or intermediate for Rock kind of music.

Purchase: $200 at Sam Ash in Westminster, CA
Pros: I got a black one; the finish looks awesome and the absence of a pickguard makes it look a lotttttt better than a strat. The metal pots look really nice and unobtrusive. It has a 5-way selector, tremolo arm (which I don't use), and vol and tone pots. The tuners work well enough, but the whammy screws up the tuning. For anyone looking to use the whammy a lot, get another guitar or replace the trem bridge with something better.
Cons: I like it :)
Quality: It's built very well. There's a little chip on the headstock, but i got a discount ($20) for it, so it's alright. I haven't had it long, so i havne't been banging it against walls and stuff. It'd probably chip, but stay together, if i hit stuff...haha. Summary: This guitar is awesome for a first. Get it!

Purchase: I aquired this guitar at a local dealer for $299.
Pros: First of all, I think it looks good. The finish looks great and the whole thing is quality construction. It plays great and feels just right in my hands whether i'm sitting down or standing. Ibanez definitely did a good job on this one. It doesn't seem to be constructed in a hurry. The sound coming out is great. Not to mention that it's extremely versatile. You can play anything ffrom electric blues to death metal on this thing. Finally, it's just the right price for someone starting out.
Cons: Nothing except the 6thy string goes out of tune just a little bit faster than the other strings but that doesn't happen often.
Quality: Like I said, quality construction. Summary: The low price, great sound, look, and the fact that you can play just about anything on it makes this (at least I think so) the most ideal guitar for it's price. It's just as good as a guitar that costs $450. Great, couldn't be better. How does Ibanez make a guitar like this for so little?
