Ibanez Review: JS 100

History:

Purchase: I bought my JS 100BK USED from a local music store, $650.00 Canadian.

What I Like About This Ibanez JS 100: Nice finish, Good Shape. Neck was decent enough.

What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez JS 100: Original set up was awful!! P/U's were pretty bad too. I don't know how they could put this guitar on the sales floor set-up & sounding like it was. Brutal!!

Ibanez JS 100 Quality Rating: Pretty typical mass quantity construction. I liked the way the TRS bridge was designed. I knew it could be a real machine with some work.

Review Summary: I got it set up with 10's(By a professional luthier). The p/u's replaced with same model Dimarzio p/u's in the JS 1000. Custom colored, of course. Some saddles were shimmed because they "frapped out" on the upper neck region. Neck was adjusted too. Now it sounds and plays awesome!!

Rating of this Ibanez product: 4
