The V7212E-NT is offered as an entry-level instrument, it is the price in any case. However, the "newcomers" here comes a truly full-fledged instrument. The processing is simple (for example the bindings) but very clean, the paint is without error. The mechanisms are working well and no play, the built-in tuner is quite reliable and can use easily. The guitar is very well set at the factory, intonation and string height are perfekt- Barreegriffe in the covenant are not a problem, the Ibanez can then be populated very well, not least through the narrow neck. For sound: the laminated spruce top (ie "plywood") do not of course already noticed, properly powerful sound as we know it from guitars with solid wood ceiling is not to be expected here, but loud goes and Ibanez can also play a very differentiated. Bass, middle and treble are very balanced. And rather an ordinary plywood ceiling rather than a tortured massive ceiling, which then somehow does not withstand the burden of the 12 strings. I was pleasantly surprised about the strings, D'Addario EXP phosphor bronze that remain on it!
