Guitar:
Ibanez SA160

Features:
Mahogany body, Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard, 22 Frets, S-S-H pickup configuration, 1 Volume, 1 Tone, 5 Way switch, Floating non-locking trem.

Playability:
Balances perfectly, and has a more modern strat-like feel, with a flatter fingerboard radius and easier fret access. Easy to get a nice low action on this guitar. Very fluid and a joy to play. The neck is thicker than an RG however.

Sound:
Brilliant sustain! This is probably due to the mahogany body. Nice fat tone from the humbucker and very glassy neck and middle pickups, with many other usable in-between sounds. Excellent!

Durability:
I love this guitar. The finish looks beautiful and the overall guitar is pretty solid. Good quality hardware also.

Comments:
I particularly like where the jack socket is on this guitar. Out of the way and wont work loose!

Conclusion:
Need I say more? This guitar sounds and plays as good as it looks! Perfect for most styles of music, and with a good quality trem.
