i got this for a christmas present and i got was the guitar and hardshell case. i wish this could some emgs in it but thats not what the pauls are all about.
Quality:
it seems the guitar will last me a great while. im in a band called Still I Rise (add us on myspace.com/stillirise) so i travel with it a lot and it is very dependable. my bottom right knob keeps going for some strange reason…and i also wish it could be lighter.
Value:
i think the price is worth the guitar. but it could also be lower.
Desirability:
its just pretty, thats it.
Sound:
the sound is great for a more rock and roll player. but for me its just doesnt quite get the job done…its not metal enough for me…it sounds to pretty, which really is’nt a bad thing at all when i like to play pretty songs to impress the ladys haha. but in all seriousness, nothing against les pauls but its just not raw enough for me.
Ease of Use:
my knobs just cant adjust to the sound i want. the guitar is to heavy to any sool stage moves with. or i might just be weak haha. i also feel as though the strings cant sit close enoughe to the fret board for easier technical style guitar playing.
Support:
no problems i couldnt fix
Overall:
im already wanting another guitar after only 2 years of having it…i could just be real picky though.

Maybe the most traditional of the Artcores. The true full-hollow AK eschews the brighter sound of maple tops and metal bridges used in most of Artcores. In their place are a spruce top and all-wood bridge for the warmer, traditional sound favored in small group and jazz trio formats.

Overall:
This guitar would send me to meet my maker with a smile on my face. I have other guitars, but this one would always be my favorite and I would guard it with my life.

Its an ibanez. And its made for metal. So if your like me and enjoy Heavy Riffs, and sick solos, buy it. its great.
Sound:
The sound of this guitar is perfect for any Heavy Metal group, and it has to be if it was made for Mick. Put it together with some nasty distortion and you got yourself the perfect Guitar for some heavy metal riffing.
Ease of Use:
Now this is what i liked best. It felt almost perfect. an could go up and down the fretboard, and it was comfortable. If you have my taste in guitar’s, the minute you hold it you can get the feel of it.

Well i only tried it out in a store, but im sure i wouldnt need it.
Overall:
So if your a metal head and you play guitar. Buy it. You will love it

like i said the only thing that was missing were the emgs.
Quality:
i have a xiphos, rg 7620 and an rg2620 for backups, but i dont really need them. okay yeah i do, but not cause im i cant depend on the rgt320z. i only keep them for alternate tunings.
Value:
it could have come with some custom pickups for the price, but i don’t really care.
Desirability:
the 5-piece wenge/maple neck is awesome. this new trem is amazing. ibanez is really revolutionizing their products. no other brand pays this close attention to all the details and functionality demanded from their products for musicians. i love them

this guitar is amazing sonding, playing, and is very beautiful. i recently added some active emgs and i cant think of anything else that i could do to make it sound or play better. love it

The ESP KH Junior is a 3/4 inch scale version of the KH202 with a tune-o-matic bridge and string-thru body. The maple neck has 22XJ frets and sports the same skull & bones inlays as the KH202. The basswood body is loaded with EMG-ESP LH300 pickups and has Volume and tone controls with a 3-way toggle switch. Killer look and sound.
