Ibanez S6570SK-STB Prestige

Beyond all expectations!

An absolute joy to play!

Pros: Super comfortable neck, really comfortable body and really well balanced. The ease of playing means that I never have to think about my hand positions, and so the standard of my playing is instantly better.

Pickups have a great voice. Clear, and far more articulate than I was expecting. All the tones from the 5 way selector work really well for me.

Quality is stunning. Arguably better than all my other guitars in this price range. Super value for money.

From the viewpoint of design, a lot of thought has gone into this guitar. Excellent attention to detail, and all the elements work harmoniously together. I'm very impressed with how well the body shape works. It is a surprisingly complex form, and apart from being aesthetically pleasing, it does an excellent job of balancing the weight of the guitar and providing a super comfortable, ergonomic body.

Cons: I don't like the colour of the fretboard binding.

Summary: Such a good guitar, and so much fun. It's a game changer for me.
