You could just plug into an electric tuner and have it do the work for you until you develop an ear to do it yourself.  They are as cheap as $10.

It's possible that his intonation needs to be... well intonated =P

I play mostly skin flute... but guitar was a close 2nd.

fiend -->  does the ibanez have a floyd rose or similiar floating bridge / locking nut whammy bar based bridge?

On my yamaha, I pulled an eddie van halen and made it so it only dived down by putting a custom piece of wood behind the internal backside bridge fulcrum thingie...  it added a little sustain and stability to my lower grade model guitar...

Which one I play most?   sigh...  Eventailly I decided on mandolin, but the penny whilstle is so much easier to pick up (it is never out of tune - at least with itself) that it might win by any casual observation.  The mandolin is what I dream of playing though.  When I see myself on stage in front of a million adoring fans I'm playing the mandolin.   I wake up screaming a moment latter because I while I like being on stage, everything else about having a million adoring fans is something I hate.  (I'm not a socal person)

My life long dream has been to be a good piano player, but I'm not good enough to enjoy playing it like I do the mandolin.  So if I ever learn to properly play piano my answer will change.

I feel sorry for anyone limited to just one insterment though.  Or in my case limited to just 3 (4 if you count my voice, too bad I can't find the right note often)  Then again if I didn't have so many hobbies I might get something done on one of them.

LOL, I used to layout ads for a music store that sold those things. One time we almost ran an ad with a typo "Hose Flute".

Oh, yeah. I play the Recorder, 3rd grade music class, "Mary Had A Little Lamb".

Trombone in grade school.  Haven't picked one up since.  We recently picked up an antique upright piano but the keys stick.  I want to get it going again, but don't know where to start.

I used to play the piano pretty regularly when I had access to one, but I don't have a keyboard now.  Kind of miss it.  I tried to learn guitar, I suck and just don't have that kind of coordination - it was almost comical to watch - like charlie brown trying to write a pen-pal letter:  :P

No drummers yet?

I play the trap set, but I'm pretty lame. My main instrument is the accoustic guitar.  I also play the cornet (since 5th grade)

Trumpet for me.  A little piano.  And does 3 chords count as being able to play the guitar?  Worked for a lot of bands in the 90's  ;)

Drums & Trumpet.. god I wish I could play them both at the same time.

Drums are fun tho :-D

And I don't want to hear this "those who can't play, drum" crap..  getting all 4 limbs to act independently and even carry different tempos is hard dammit  >:(
