I meant cheap compared to my EBMM JP7 build-quality-wise.

Sorry for any confusion.

I don't know if Ibanez quality has really gone down, but you definitely get less for your money now compared to 10 years ago.

skattabrain is just really niceskattabrain is just really nice
keep the prestige label off of non-japanese made guitars ... period! i don't care what anyone says ... you don't buy a gibson and expect it to me made in indonesia ... that's what epiphones are for.

you want an indonesian or korean ibby? fine ... no big ... just don't DEVALUE the prestige brand. i agree with zim, but i bought an older prestige and don't buy guitars very often ... so it's probably true this is non-point and the prestige brand has been already devalued.

oh, and a new ibanez = pickup change ... it's just the way they've always been.

You can get an EBMM JP7 for that and it's an far better instrument.

That's basically my point.

Probably not in Scandinavia, though. I would guess the JP7 goes for about the same as a J-Custom in other parts of the world.
