Check the bridge, I had the same problem with one of my guitars. I figured out the bridge was too high. I had to unstring it and take a hammer to it to drop it down about a cm or so.

There are two problems I can think of that will cause this:
1. The neck is warped. You say it looks OK, but if the action is just a bit high (check around fret 12, that's where it will be worst), it can throw the intonation of the upper frets way off.
2. The guitar is just constructed badly. If the bridge is not properly positioned, the strings will sound fine when tuned open, but will not change pitch correctly when fretted. The distance from the nut to the 12th fret should be the same as the distance from the 12th fret to the bridge.
This is much less likely.

You haven't explained your dilemma at the fretboard so I cannot define any possible solution for you.
Crapola can mean many things, but it is irrevelant at the guitar.

i could wager that your guitar must be set up precise. in the experience that your strings are too far from the fretboard then pressing on them tightens the string too lots elevating the pitch - and the notice you play is "out of song." it would additionally be brought about with the aid of the variety of strings you're utilising. purely verify you utilize strings of the stated density to get the perfect rigidity on your guitar. you will would desire to take your guitar in to somebody to have it precise "set up" yet examine with the Ibanez internet internet site for pointers on the superb strings to apply. reliable success and satisfied enjoying! desire all of it seems properly.

the inside of your guitar might be damaged. for example a support might have fallen out. it can cost a lot of money to get it repaired.
