Ibanez AW54JR-OPN Open Pore Natural

I've seen several really good reviews so I was quite disappointed when I got the guitar and tried it out. The sound is good and the body looks beautiful, but playability wise it has quite a lot of issues: the neck isn't very smooth, the high action makes it difficult to play, and there are some sound issues with a couple strings. The most annoying thing is probably the very sloppy placement of tuning keys - few of them are aligned and one of them is positioned at such a wrong angle that it's visible from the front. Otherwise the tuning keys work well except for the G string which requires a lot of turns. All that said, if you take into account the decent gigbag it comes it, I guess it's not a bad instrument for the price. I'm pretty sure I just got unlucky and got a poorly constructed one...
