Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

EGEN18 is a guitar by Ibanez that stands above many other guitar models in its price range, and for a reason: Ibanez is a well known guitar manufacturer that delivered some fine instruments in the past, and they did it again. EGEN18 stands up to standards, and will serve you well.

Ibanez went really far in carefully choosing EGEN18's features. There's little to be wished for, which makes EGEN18 a full-featured guitar for a musician that plays a music style this instrument is primarily built for. If you decide to go for Ibanez's EGEN18 you will be happy with its, safe to say - rich features. A job well-done by EGEN18.

Tone delivered by Ibanez's EGEN18 makes it a serious sounding instrument that gives Ibanez a lot of reasons to be proud of it. Somewhat limited when playing certain music styles doesn't mean that EGEN18 will make your tone to sound poor, quite the opposite, because EGEN18 provides rich and versatile tone that you'll be happy with.

Ready to play out of the box, Ibanez's EGEN18 is easy to set it up even more precise than usual, thanks to great hardware pieces it has built in. Handling and playing this kind of guitar is a pure joy as it stays in tune 90% of the time, regardless of the level of usage. It feels reliable and it really is, as Ibanez put great deal of time and effort to produce such a good-looking guitar that is behaving well, as EGEN18 does.

This is a solidly built guitar that will play well live and in studio. It does provide a fair amount of confidence, and it can serve well both as a replacement and a first choice guitar for gigs and rehearsals. Ibanez feels confident in its EGEN18 and it will serve you well in most situations. Durability and reliability are evenly balanced with this instrument.
