Martin says "I can't believe it but I had been previously unaware of this particular model,  love the name,  love the design and the build quality,  (I'm quite a fan of "made in Japan" guitars - great value for money).  I tried it on a session but it wouldn't quite give me what I was after - not the instruments fault but mine - I play with a pick and the "Jazz Bass" style pick ups were just too clickey.  I see a lot of guys fit em up with EMG p/u - I would guess that would sound real good.  This is definitely what I would describe as a sexy instrument and I was very tempted by it but ended up back with my trusty old Thunderbird that will probably have to come with me when I leave for the big gig in the sky,  so much part of my body has it become.  The Ibanez Black Eagle reminded me a little bit of the old British Burns guitars from the 60s - they were good but very heavy - you needed a visit to the osteopath to get yer bones straightened after a gig.  Yes,  I'm very pleased to have discovered the Ibanez Black Eagle and I'm sure we'll get together again soon.  Cheers",
