Thanks man! I'm glad you're enjoying your guitar! Something I just learned: If your intonation starts to sound off, change your strings. My guitar starting having pretty bad intonation-sounding issues. I changed my strings and it returned to its glory. I'm not used to nylons, so this may be a well known thing - similar to how regular strings sound "dull" after awhile. Hope you continue to enjoy it!
Dude! I cannot believe the cost to performance. The only thing that sucks is changing strings and everyone asking you if you can play Polyphia lol. There are some ball end classical strings called “folk strings”. I’m finding traditional nylon strings do not last long, so I may try those next. We’ll see
@@damionandy I was thinking when I need to replace them im gonna grab some of those neon ones lol. Not sure if you will remember but let me know how those new strings pan out for ya!
Idk where you got that impression haha. Outside of the Gios, they’re known for being the shredders guitar. However, they’re priced way more reasonable that American brands. It kinda blows my mind. I got a MIJ rg for $800 and it’s one of the best playing and made instruments I own
With folks in the know, they're regarded as stellar makers of both the most and the least jazz guitars, with signature models from Pat Metheny and George Benson, then Munky, Nita Strauss, and Paul Gilbert. Go figure
This is a rock solid demo and review man, thanks for posting! I'm GASing hard for this guitar man, I'm probably gonna have to sell some unused gear to cure it lol
I don't know if it's him or his followers, but I've had several students come to me for lessons who have a "guitar is sport / competition" attitude and always reference him with "boomer" bends. I teach and play from an attitude of expression instead of competition. I enjoy what he's doing for the genre I love the most (instrumental prog) and I love what he's done and continues to do for the guitar community. I haven't really put a lot of time in understanding Tim, so maybe it's just the lack of understanding. However, I have nothing but respect for his art and what Polyphia has accomplished. They're paving the way for smaller artists, like myself, to get into the game playing instrumental music.
My Wife just gave me for my birthday a Gibson Studio and suddenly she said there's one more gift and she appears with a case and when I open it there was this Ibanez I cried because I wasn't expecting this guitar and I was blown away of how beautiful it is and is so light I'm so in love with that guitar , I'm a fan of polyphia and its impossible not thinking of the song Playing God when I grab it hehehe, but truly its a beautiful guitar
When you change your strings, let me know how long it takes for yours to become stable if you don't mind! Glad you are enjoying it! NGD is always the best day 🤘
Great, now I want this guitar even more than I did before! Solid video. Do you think they'll ever go out of stock, or be difficult to find? It may be a while before i can get one of my own..
I like the guitar but, it;s a bit pricey for me personally as I don't play as much as I used to and never played nylon all that much anyway. From all I have seen they are really nice guitars though and well worth the price.
Fair, they are nice guitars. They have a model out that doesn't have the pick up system and I believe they retail for around the $400 ball park area. It's crazy how much guitar Ibanez gives you for the price.
Constructive criticism here Damion, the background music is a little too much :( It's taking away from you talking. You didn't ask for it but I'd rather hear what you have to say.
@@sagarthapa3765 you're awesome. I have a new video about to drop on the new Fender Tone Master Pro! I just gigged it about 11 times and had over 20 livestreams with it! TL;DR: IT IS AMAZING.
This comment came at an interesting time. I played it for the first time in over 2 months last night. I struggle with nylons, honestly. I'm so used to my steel string guitars that the nylons are so janky in comparison haha. When the nylon strings are going bad, the intonation goes with them. Nylons also take a long time to break in, I found over tightening by a half step+ really helped (Thank you for sharing this Toby, if you're reading this). However, I enjoy the neck and like using it in my mixes. i had to do a Game of Thrones cover for school and this nylon was the star of the show. I thought about selling this one to get a Godin / Seagull nylon, just to see if the nylon issue I'm having is a result of nylon strings or build quality. The guitar feels like it is really well made (I mean, it feels like an Ibanez haha) and I got it from $550 from a local store. I am spoiled with high end electric guitars, so my ear is trained on having really precise intonation. I also usually play it acoustically, so I could be the culprit. I'll start playing it again more often through my Tone Master Pro and report back with my findings. Maybe I'll make a Tone Master Pro guide for nylons... Thanks for the inspiration / comment! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I want one so bad! I wouldn’t say I’m a huge Tim Henson fan but I have learned 2 of their riffs and want this to be able to play it on there along with other music.
It s just an another guitar in the market And the acoustic nylon sound is not solved still plastiky nylon .. I Used to have a yamaha nylon solid body guitar (black clr) sounded much better with its only piezzo pickup at that time now twenty years after not too much progress in term of concept nylon acoustic guitar range.. Yamaha still affordable and better.
Sounds very average really (not your playing). I think for the money you might as well get an intro Yamaha classical or flamenco guitar and just get used to it. Sounds wise...it will blow that thing away.
I’m blown away with the response to this video. Thank you all for watching, I’m grateful you’re here. 🤘
She's a beaut, man! Ibanez is out here killing the game. And I wanna see you bust out that flamenco sometime!
I gotta make this happen
I finally got mine. I'm honestly mind-blown at how much I like it. It's so incredibly versatile. Nice review.

Bro straight up played Marigold on nylon gutiar XD

Yes I am adding this to my guitar collection!
Perfect
Great video, never heard of this guitar thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you Smithfield! I hope you had a great weekend!
Cool vid man, a down to earth take on this guitar, earned a sub from me
Thank you @GuitaRhys! I hope you're having a great weekend! 🤘
In brazil, we use this type of guitar a lot
Velho estou à procura de um vídeo desta guitarra no Brasil e não encontro
@@Dentark1 essa guitarra específica do tim henson, o pessoal n usa. Mas ja vi uns videos de show sertanejo os caras usando nylon guitar nessa vibe.
Ibanez in most people’s eyes is a cheap brand for beginners. But they’re not and they have changed the game.

Thanks for hanging out man! GAS is life haha. Once you have it, you can NEVER get rid of it. Keep me posted if you end up getting one!
Bro I saw only the thumbnail and I thought ben shapiro had become a metalhead...
I had to look up who this was 🤣
What is your problem with Tim Henson? Just curious.
I don't know if it's him or his followers, but I've had several students come to me for lessons who have a "guitar is sport / competition" attitude and always reference him with "boomer" bends. I teach and play from an attitude of expression instead of competition.

The only thing missing is a fretless version but this looks awsome.
Bro that would be insane 🤯🤯
I'm gonna get the cheaper version of this and do a video on how to de-fret it@@damionandy
My Wife just gave me for my birthday a Gibson Studio and suddenly she said there's one more gift and she appears with a case and when I open it there was this Ibanez I cried because I wasn't expecting this guitar and I was blown away of how beautiful it is and is so light I'm so in love with that guitar , I'm a fan of polyphia and its impossible not thinking of the song Playing God when I grab it hehehe, but truly its a beautiful guitar
I’m telling my wife she needs to step her game!
Hahahaha 😜@@damionandy
Now that’s a fantastic surprise so post some shredding
I enjoyed the video and your playing but when I saw the wagging tails of your dogs coming in I smiled! Maybe introduce them some time? 😊🎸🙏🏻
I want this guitar now!!! :)
Great review on a beautiful guitar 🤘
Is anybody doing fretless electric anymore?!
I haven’t seen one in a minute, but they’re gnarly. Crazy you’re the second person to comment this haha
SICK!!
Thanks Trevor! I’m happy to see some TikTok folk over here ❤🤘
Nice keep it up 👏
Got mine - Im lovin it !

Its already incredibly hard to find hahah. There’s a 6 month wait on most online retailers. I got lucky finding it at my local store

@@damionandy I looked up the $499 version. It has a piezo but not the EQ system.
🤘🤘🤘

@@damionandy Idk if you've reviwed the Quad Cortex but a comparison would be amazing too. Looking forward to the new video!
No boy...I like acustic
Boy I am crazy guittar look like your
I like guitar like your...you cat too. Show!
Plying a nylon guitar with picks is no go 🤭
Speak for yourself. I also play bass with a pick ;)
Nice video please keep posting videos of your tod10n I am struggling with do I get this. Going to find a store where I can play it. Thank you

Look like other guittar
I want one so bad!
I wouldn’t say I’m a huge Tim Henson fan but I have learned 2 of their riffs and want this to be able to play it on there along with other music.
Try to find one local. I got mine for $670 with a military discount.
@@damionandy first is my PRS. Then we’ll see what’s next. Either this one, or a strat I think is what’s next.
More DOG!!!

I Used to have a yamaha nylon solid body guitar (black clr) sounded much better with its only piezzo pickup at that time now twenty years after not too much progress in term of concept nylon acoustic guitar range..
Yamaha still affordable and better.
Sounds bad tbh, but it's a cool idea for maybe 5% of nylon string fanatics who want something different to play at night.
Acústic
Sounds very average really (not your playing). I think for the money you might as well get an intro Yamaha classical or flamenco guitar and just get used to it. Sounds wise...it will blow that thing away.
You’re probably right, but it’s a telecaster nylon guitar. Enough for me lol
