Great Craftsmanship – A Well-Built Guitar
I highly recommend this IYV 6 String IP-350 guitar. I do not buy guitars to look at them, I buy them to play and perform. This is my 2nd IYV guitar, and I bought it because I was very satisfied after purchasing an IYV IJZ-300 TSB. For beginners this IYV 6 String IP-350 guitar is playable right out of the box after tuning. I did not find any noticeable finish flaws and this guitar is a looker and has caught the attention of numerous musicians with the way the strings are configured.Most all guitars require some setup, and both IYV guitars I have purchased required modifications to meet my personal suitability and playing style. I enjoy setting up my guitars and modifying them myself. If you do not know what you are doing, I would highly recommend NOT doing any setup and modifications yourself and suggest taking the guitar to have it setup and modified professionally.I realized this is a really good guitar worthy of investing a little more money for customization. IYV guitars are solid and well-crafted making such modifications easy for me. Here are the changes and modifications I made: I changed the tuners with Chrome Grover 305C Mid-size Rotomatic 18:1 3×3 tuners. Next, I replaced the bridge with a GM005 Chrome Guyker Guitar Tune-O-Matic Roller Saddle Bridge, and it fit perfectly. I used the original bridge posts, and this is the 2nd IYV guitar with lose bridge post adjusting screws. Applying Teflon tape easily fixed that looseness.I would recommend changing the strings. I personally prefer D’Addario 12 Flat Wounds. This required a little filing on the nut for the strings. It also required filing the first three frets down to keep low action with no buzz. No Truss rod adjustments were necessary. You can avoid filing the nuts and frets by using 9- or 10-gauge strings, but I prefer heavier gauge strings. I then took the opportunity to apply a little lemon oil to the fretboard. The intonation was adjusted and accomplished easily, and I did make some adjustments to the pickup height.All parts and everything needed to accomplish customizing the IYV 6 String IP-350 into “your guitar” is available on Amazon, the result is an easily modified guitar customized to your personal liking. The ease of playability is really good at least for me. Don’t be fooled into believing this guitar is a cheap, poor-quality guitar because the price is so reasonable. The IYV 6 String IP-350 is a well-crafted quality guitar.

Great value for the money
I have been playing guitar & doing my own guitar mods & setups for 50 years. I have another IYV guitar which I am greatly impressed with (IYV IJZ-300 TSB).For the price, this guitar is an excellent value. It is playable out of the box.All guitars need to be set up for best playability. Even high-end guitars require initial, and ongoing, setup & maintenance. I had to do very little to bring this guitar to a pro level of playability. The neck was dead straight. As is typical of all lower-priced guitars in my experience, the frets did need some work to get them perfectly level. Before leveling and crowning frets, I first use a fret hammer to tap frets down. Shipping, especially from overseas, subjects guitars to temperature & humidity changes which seem to dry out the fretboard & cause frets to lift up slightly. On this guitar, tapping frets down with a fret hammer where they were a little high leveled them out perfectly. I did not need to file down any frets.I like a low string action, and with straight and level neck and frets I got the action down quite low. The nut was cut correctly. I usually swap out nuts with adjustable brass or titanium nuts, but I don’t need to given the good quality of the stock nut.As others have mentioned, there are minor blemishes in the finish where the neck joins the body, which is to be expected at this price level. However, the rest of the finish was flawless. As others have stated, yes, this guitar is BLACK. Which I like. The tuners are solid. In fact, this guitar stays in tune better than my expensive guitars (without locking tuners).The pickups are quite good. I tend to swap out pickups on guitars, but after tweaking the pickup and pole-piece heights I got the tone and individual string articulation to a nice level. Not perfect, but good enough to not swap them out for something more expensive.The neck is very playable. I find the neck shape to be comfortable.Bottom line, for the price this guitar is an outstanding value in terms of quality, appearance, playability and tone.

Needed some adjustment to make play worthy guitar.
Guitar was packed well, no signs of shipping damge. Finish overall well done but did find small dot blemish on the front but it isn’t too noticeable. Unfortunately guitar wasn’t really playable out of box. I let the guitar to sit in my house 3 days to adjust to temperature/humidity before making adjustments.Five of the six string slots at the nut were cut too low causing the strings to buzz or fret out. Filled low slots with bone dust and super glue and then re-cut slot to right depthNeck had slight back bow and had to tighten trussrod nut 1 1/2 turns to get neck relief to spec. After the neck adjustment had to raise the saddle height on the bass side to prevent fret buzz. Then I checked the fret installation. Fret ends were all smooth with no gotcha’s. Four frets didn’t align correct but was able to tap the high spots down to fix. All in all frets were installed pretty well. I did polish fret some because they weren’t a smooth as prefer. Measured neck and bridge pickup resistance at about 14.2k ohms. Pickup height was way too low. Raise both pickups considerably to get close to spec (using PRS factory setup specs). Then I re-adjusted pickup height to level volume when changing the 3 pickup switch positions. Though guitar hardware is not top shelf it is still useable/servicable. The 14.2k ohm pickup sound is not to my liking, too much perceived high frequency harshness and seem to have noticeable microphonic noise. Since I paid $147 for the instument I consider it a good bargain after completing the setup work. It plays well, neck shape feels good to me, long term I will swap out to more vintage wound/sounding pickups. I do luthiery work so I had the tools to measure and setup the guitar. If you are considering purchaing it take into account the additional cost of a guitar setup (if you van’t do it yourself) to get it in good playing condition.

This IYV IP-350 is an incredible value for under $240.The finish looks great and uncommon. Although, you can tell itâs not an expensive guitar finish, there are no particular flaws or defects. If you know how to do final polish, you can make this guitar really shine. I like the scale length, right in the middle of Fender & Gibson.The neck is probably my favorite part other than the overall look of the guitar. Itâs pretty thick, not vintage Gibson baseball bat thick, but certainly not a slim taper that is the bane of my guitar shopping as I have fairly large hands. It was very much playable as is. The neck width is pretty much in line with Gibson/Epiphone measuring 43.63mm at the nut, which is only 0.02mm narrower than my Gibson Les Paul. The strings were even worse than most inexpensive guitars. If there is a place to cheap out on a guitar itâs strings, pickups, and tuning gears since that is what most guitar players are likely to change at some point whether itâs needed or not lol.The hardware is pretty good, the pickups actually sound great for clean or light overdrive, but are quite microphonic at high gain overdrive/distortion. As I mentioned before, no big deal, they do the job and are easy to replace later.Overall great guitar for the price, good for beginners (though this may vary depending which one you get), but especially good for experienced players that can do basic work on guitars and just want another style, color, scale length, pickup configuration, etcâ¦like we really need an excuse to get a new guitar right!
EXCELENTE POR EL PRECIO. –
la verdad es que me enamore completamente, una guitarra de 4200 pesos 210 dolares aprox. Que tiene una muy buena madera bastante buen sonido y una excelente estetica debido a la tapa que tiene, aparte del increÃble sustain que posee, tan bueno que casi le llega a los modelos de fernandes.Ya hice unas buenas comparaciónes y termine vendiendo una ibanez de la serie rg porque al parecer no le daba batalla a esta. Claro que tiene sus defectos en mi caso principalmente 3 una pequeña linea sin pintar menos de .5mm en la parte del traste 24, una gotita de pintura extra al lado de la segunda pastilla alrededor de 1 mm de diámetro (acrÃlico solamente asi que es transparente) y una parte con pintura de mas de algunos 2 mm casi en el puente.Todos estos defectos son invisibles a menos de que los veas a contraluz y con mucho detalle.Pense que los afinadores iban a ser igual de malos que la mayorÃa de guitarra baratas pero en realidad mantienen bastante bien la afinación. Para mi el color del sonido es bastante vintage pero a la vez moderno, perfecto para rock y quiza algo de old school metal, inclusive NU metal.El diseño es calcado de una prs de la gama s2 y la verdad esque ya me la han chuleado bastante.Compra 100% recomendada de una vez les digo que no es perfecta pero es lo mejor por el precio incluso creo que no hay nada mejor por 400 dolares 8000pesos.Lo que mas te encontraras con estas guitarras chinas son defectos esteticos pero debido a el control de calidad seran mÃnimos.Recomendada, voy ahorrando para unas Wilkinson PAF por cierto, me gusta mas el sonido de las wilkinson que el de las Seymour Duncan (estas ultimas son muy chillonas).

The playability at this price point is just superb. Yes, the electronic hardware, tuners and action can be improved but these are easily tweaked/replaced. Very happy that they put most of the effort into the neck and alignment giving us a superb playing guitar (also the hardest to fix). In summary, this is an excellent playing and sounding guitar which i’d happily go live with.Those that demand cosmetic perfection for the price point are dreaming and misplaced.

My rating is based on it being a guitar that sells for $266.00 CDN delivered to my door. From reading reviews it is clear there are some quality control issues, my review is based on the one that showed up at my door. It has some very minor cosmetic blemishes that don’t impact playability at all. None of my friends could even find them until I pointed them out. It is surprisingly light, my LP, which is mahogany, weighs in at 11 1/2 lbs, this guitar is probably in the 7 lb range. The pickups sound great to me and really take gain well. The fret work on mine was great, the grain on the fretboard looks as good as an Epi LP that I paid twice as much for 18 years ago. Does it need a setup? Of course it does, in 30+ years of buying guitars including new name brand guitars I have never bought one that didn’t. Is the fretboard dry? Yup it is but that is such an easy fix I don’t know why people even bring it up. Yes the strings are horrible and the action is too high but right out of the box it was still quite playable and as I said I tend to expect to have to do some tweaks on any guitar I buy. If I had received a dud I would have returned it and kept trying until I got a keeper as the value is definitely there when you get a good one. If you are expecting PRS quality buy a PRS, if you are looking for a very affordable clone this one fills the bill nicely IMO. I am more than happy with this guitar and would recommend it to friends with the understanding it may take a few to find that keeper.
