Upon deeper inspection of this guitar I have a concern. This is the first set neck electric guitar I have played/ owned so I’m not sure if it is normal to feel and see a line at the joint where the cutaway is, directly in line with the 16th fret. It goes into the binding as well. Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated

Might I add very nice playing. I mean really great playing. I now own two IYV’s. The green Les Paul and the Hybrid Fender mustang/jaguar. That in itself is an original. I also own a 32 year old Martin D28. A Taylor, 2 Gibsons but I still can’t believe the sound and look of this Korean owned company’s guitars. And like you both necks on my IYV guitars are chunky as well. More than I like but I’ll get used to them. I know you can take what you read online with a grain of salt sometimes but I hear I YV is selling their guitars through Amazon at almost cost trying to introduce their guitars to America and their goal is to compete with Eppiphone. Maybe that’s true or maybe it’s not I don’t really know but I do have to say I think these guitars look, play and sound as good as any $500 to $700 guitar.Thank you again for your nice video.

Another Fantastic video, Guys! Leo - glad to see you back in action today! Where to start.... well, that thing was treated like a step-child, and beat all up to pieces in shipping. And it arrives with no damage to speak of. Crazy! Unbelievable, really. Maybe the driver(s) were really careful with it. Anyway - gotta give em' some credit here. And the guitar - awesome. I have this same guitar. Got it several months ago, and I absolutely LOVE it. The one I got is a Killer! The Destiny Wound pickups are smokin' on the one I got. Right slam out of the box. And it's marketed as a Jazz Box... and it can do smooth and warm Jazz tones. But it's a rock and roll machine! Love this axe. Crazy that you can get this for $200. I think I paid $189. Last comment - Dan - great playing, as always. I swear.... when you cranker her up.... for a sec I thought I was on the Lido Deck of the Love Boat. With Captain Merrill Stubing and Gopher. And the lovely Cruise Director, Julie.

Love your videos, awesome playing! I just picked up one of these beasties and have to say that it had a few more finishing blemishes on mine. Once again, this model had Marvel L3 tuning machines that are higher quality than what comes with Squier, Epiphone, and lower end Ibanez guitars. This said, I still replaced them with Gotoh locking tuning machines. Like my IJZ-500 (again, Use an Epiphone Jumbo Broadway hard shell case), the fingerboard and strings had a metal dust and a very dry fingerboard. Looks like they were both strung with no-name 0.010s. Heavier half round, coated or round wound strings are my (0.012s) recommendation, besides the strap buttons, and overall clean-up for the guitar. Case wise an ES-335 hard shell case that has not been internally form fit will work, but you’ll need to add a bit of padding to the back and sides internally to the case. This is only a partial block (very unfinished) under the bridge area. There is binding on the f-holes, but it is not the same as the external binding on the edge of the headstock, neck and body. There was a bit more wood splintering in this $178.00 (from Amazon) semi hollow guitar verses the IJZ-500. Sustain is not quite as lengthy as the IJZ-500, and funny enough, my IJZ-500 is also a bit more resistant to feedback, too. I also noticed a bit more bass and upper mid range from the neck pickup relative to the IJZ-500., but the bridge pickup is very similiar between the two on the amp settings I like to use. The IJZ-500 has a very chunky/beafy ‘C’ neck and the IJZ-300 is a slightly chunky ‘D’ neck, it reminds me more of an Epiphone than an Ibanez in profile, but having a volute tends to be more often with other manufacturers. Both of these with the obligatory cleanup and setup are gig worthy guitars out of the box in my opinion and don’t tend to suffer from the same lesser electronics and pickups that come from cheaper instruments.

Amazon gets these IYV guitars in batches that sell out really quick because they are amazingly good instruments for such a low price. I saw this IJZ 300 listed for $220 and when I went back a couple days later to buy it the price had dropped down to $149! And two days later when I went back to Amazon to send the link to a friend it had already been sold out. I also got the IYV Les Paul model for $170 and it sold out a few days later too. Check out all the reviews at Amazon and here at KZread. The only negative ones I've seen are due to shipping damage issues due to the cheap / unsafe packaging they come in, and from nitpicking connoisseurs who are unhappy that a $200 guitar doesn't rival a big name brand model that costs thousands of dollars. Perfectionists are going to tweak these guitars out with their preferred pricey pickups, tuners, micropolishing the frets and so forth, but really, both of my IYVs came nicely playable right out of the box with no setup required except for changing the cheap strings they come with. This IJZ 300 reviewed by Leo & Dan Ryan has a tremendous range of tone, from the low and mellow almost bass guitar-like rhythms, to the crisp and ringing high lead notes it can deliver. As a guitar player with more than 50 years experience I love playing it. In this video you can hear how it sounds in the hands of an expert musician. If you're in the market for a nice guitar at a great price then an IYV won't disappoint you. And if it does arrive with shipping damage Amazon will give you a refund or replacement, so no worries!

Most "jazz" players rely almost exclusively on the neck pickup, so much so that lots of jazz boxes only have one pickup. The rest is the amp setting and the tone control on the guitar. Lots of experienced players use pretty simple amps, and a minimum of pedals. Older Fenders seem to be popular, as well as the Roland Jazz Chorus line. Hendrickson, a line of tiny amps from Colorado, has become popular with some heavyweights. Thanks for listening. 😊

The bottom is also unsanded but not as obvious as the top. My worry was if no smoothing was done how good is the fit of the body seams when glued. Uneven surfaces don't mate up with a glue joint.

Can I ask you if you started out with guitar lessons, or are you self taught. I've been trying to figure it out mostly on my own, but hasn't been able to get very good. Thanks for the amazing video and for your reply!

I was self taught until I moved to L.A. in the 70's. After living there a couple of years I started attending the Dick Grove Music Workshop. I wasn't studying guitar, but improvisation, using Dick's theories. They had four levels of improvisation classes and they put me in the fourth level right away. It was incredibly valuable training.

Well Fellas I got mine yesterday! WOW! The back is a solid color which I love. Question: I paid $181+tax. I think it’s worth more. What would you say this guitar is really worth? Thanks, Fellas!

Awesome! Sorry I took so long to respond, I just received the notification. Enjoy your new guitar 🎸 👍!

I know I'm late to the party but I'm trying to settle a debate, not having one in hand: does it have a full length center block or just a tone block under the bridge? You guys might not have it anymore...

Leo in the back ground making comments and correcting Dan is like Ed McMahan on the Johnny Carson show - how he interjects stuff and fills in....

Thanks very much for watching, but it's you that needs to turn up the volume. There are many other comments on the video, but you are the only one suggesting that the volume is low. I can hear it quite well, and I am 75 percent deaf. Lol 😉👍!

I'll take a look at it! Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday 😀 👍! I was able to find one on Reverb for $375+$40 shipping in Cherry Burst. Strange that it's got a bolt on neck, not usually a feature of Semihollow guitars. I saw a few that were much more expensive as well. Thanks so much for dropping by.

Very nice playing. Total proof a $3000 guitar doesnt mean crap if you cant play. Your whole setup prob cost $500.

Thanks very much Jeff for watching and for your kind comments. Actually, the amplifier was about $600, but we've recently changed the amplifier from the Fender Mustang GT 100w, to a Fender Mustang LT25 to save space and make it easier for Dan to move around while seated, but we get what you're saying 😉👍!

I see that this is no longer available on Amazon. Mr. 1000.

Thanks very much Jimmy for watching, and I understand. I recently purchased a new phone. A Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. These videos were recorded on my Samsung Galaxy S21. The new phone had terrible audio and I was unable to hear my own videos for editing. I sent it back, but I personally am listening to the video right now and I can hear every word. I'm sorry you can't hear it on your device. I don't think I have a solution that will allow everyone to hear 😉👍!
