A bit more features for the price asked is what most musicians would like to see from Ibanez's JTK3. Whether it's the quality of craftsmanship, or the price, musicians don't seem to like what Ibanez offered with JTK3.

Ibanez didn't go over the top with a set of features that make the JTK3 what it is: a guitar that will do the job, but won't thrill you with its limited features. However, it won't let you down if you feel you can get along with what's provided. You can try and search for better solutions, but still, Ibanez's JTK3 will deliver what you need in most situations.

You could find a better fitted guitar, but JTK3 is ready to be played by any musician willing to take time and adjust it to his/her needs. Ibanez built a guitar that has nice finish but it lacks something that would make it feel even better. Guitar stays in tune reasonably well, if you don't force it too much, and the JTK3's neck is playable.

This guitar will hold on really well as it is built well. Not to be battered as it is not the ultimate gigging tool; still, JTK3 will perform OK in most live situations. You might feel that it will let you down in you hour of need, but in reality this guitar will do just well. Should you feel unconfident, have a backup guitar ready and you'll have no worries with Ibanez's JTK3.

For the $250 I dropped on this guitar used, I couldn't be more pleased. This guitar features two single-coil soap bar pickups with more bite then you'd expect. With a master tone and volume control, you can easily control the guitars sound. There are 22 frets on this beast too. I am extremely satisfied with this guitar and find myself getting perfect zeppelin tone when i roll the guitar volume down to 7, tone to 9, and hook up my pedals. It has a tune-o-matic style bridge piece making it very easy to get the intonation fixed on the guitar. It has a very flat fretboard making it easy to find your way around it.

I only give this guitar a 7 in quality because when tightening the input jack, something happened to the wiring inside and had to go get it repaired. This was a very easy fix however with the cords in there being very neatly placed. Besides that minor problem I've had with it, this guitar was very nicely made.

For $250 I get a rock and roll machine. I would say stray away from keeping the volume knob on 10 because this acts as more of a gain control until you get to below 2 where the volume dramatically starts to decrease. With the volume on 10, you get an absurd amount of gain and the tone begins to get too muddy. I love this guitar, I have the sea-foam green finish and its a beautiful guitar. the soap bars sound amazing. what value.

I love this guitar. She's an unstoppable beast. Though she might not be an American Stratocaster or Les Paul, she also doesn't have the same price tag. Some say you get what you pay for, but I got a lot more then I bargained for. I have friends who all play guitar and all are jealous when I come to my jam session with this machine. i play it through either a vox v15 valvetronix combo or my half stack (marshall 1987xl 50w with a marshall 1960ax cabinet). this guitar sometimes has a hard time cleaning up when rolling back the volume but thats not a problem if you just invest in pedals and turn them off when needing clean. overall, if something happened to it, I'd definitely buy it again.
