Just arrived from online seller. This guitar arrived in excellent shape, new. No issues detected. It was set up as CGDA and intonation was very good. The sound is s bit tight but that is to be expected on new instrument. Playing it for half hour and I can already see improvement. I wanted to try out a tenor guitar before investing serious money. I also wanted a parlor size guitar. For a shade north of $350, this appears to be good value. No financial interest in Ibanez. I will try to attach photo. My plan is to add heavier strings and go to GDAE or GDAD open tuning, but I will wait a month for the guitar to settle in. This model does NOT have any pick up, gig bag, or case. Strictly out-of-box, with no frills or extras. So far I am very satisfied.

I think they should have done these as 12 frets to the body, not 14. That would move the bridge into the middle of the body which should yield a fuller, louder tone.
