Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

A bit more features for the price asked is what most musicians would like to see from Ibanez's SA260M. Whether it's the quality of craftsmanship, or the price, musicians don't seem to like what Ibanez offered with SA260M.

Ibanez could throw in a bit more features into SA260M but this guitar is definitely a usable musical instrument. Whether it's the price cut, or Ibanez felt that simplicity is a good way to go, SA260M is built with a limited set of features, so one needs see if it fits the need. Not the best equipped instrument, but SA260M will do well for some musicians.

You could find a better fitted guitar, but SA260M 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 SA260M's neck is playable.

If you're happy with Ibanez's SA260M overall performance and characteristics, you can consider it to be a replacement guitar for your gigs. Even if used as only guitar SA260M will perform, but don't overrate it and always try and find a backup. It is a solid guitar that will last long and perform well if you treat it right.
