A lot of people seem to dislike Ibanez in general because they assume that the Japanese craftsmanship is shoddy. Bollocks, I say. My teacher has two electrics - a Fender Strat, and an Ibanez SZ. The Strat sounds like an obscenely loud banjo and is constantly being repaired; the Ibanez sounds beautiful, and has never had a problem.
