I love it, but I'd never buy one since it's a neck-thru. I don't trust Ibanez neck-thru guitars. I'd much rather have a bolt-on so I can tweak the action just the way I like it.
In this case it doesn't make a difference. The recessed tremolo doesn't need any neck angle so the difference between a neckthru and bolt-on makes no effect on the bridge height or action.
I see your point, but what happens if you want really low action and the tremolo is already very deep inside the cavity? On a bolt-on, you'd just shim the neck to ensure more of a pull-up.

In that case the guitar is at fault. Without shims the action should be possible to set absurdly low. Whether it buzzes at that height is another thing but it should be possible to have the strings resting on the bridge.
