If you decide to go for Ibanez's EGEN8 you will be happy with its, safe to say - rich features. A job well-done by EGEN8.

Ibanez did a good job. EGEN8 is built well, the finish feels just right, the hardware is solid. While playing for a longer periods of time you can expect EGEN8 to stay in tune and you will be pleased while playing, because the neck is extremely comfortable. You might find that over time metal parts will oxidize a bit, but that's normal and nothing to worry about. Ibanez did a really good job with EGEN8 guitar.
