Chinese manufacturing.
22 medium frets and round, ends softened, it changes the bevel that you feel a bit of time ...
Rosewood tailpiece and Tune-o-Matic mounted on a floating rosewood (ability to mount a rosewood bridge with well-supplied)
2 microphones and 2 Super 58-2 vol and tone selector 3 positions.
Round and round enough end in 5 pieces (Maple / Bubinga) with reinforcement at the butt nut. Rosewood
Body Flame Maple Hollow Body type.

Aesthetically it's very beautiful and well finished, the varnish is very well. Difficult to find a lack of finishing.

UTILIZATION

The neck is absolutely awesome facility! Getting Started as pleasant as possible, the finish of the frets provides extra dexterity because of their rounded shape at the ends. The curve is well studied, is everything that goes almost from the first notes ... (Provided the rule because leaving the factory is a scandal)
This is the first time I meet this kind of shrinking, it's really great!

The balance of the guitar is perfect when it is played sitting down. The weight is not a concern for the guitar either.

From a gameplay point of view, like all or most Jazz, access to the latest box remains difficult.

However, once connected, you can quickly forget this detail (size) because the sound is by appointment ...

SOUNDS

This guitar provided a sound quite good for the price. It includes jazz really is expected, however, one would expect a micro kit a bit more "pro" given that it struts Custom logo on the head. Well certainly found this kit on Metheny and Benson for example, but ...
The sound is still very good, I would not complain personally. The day I can change them, maybe I will go up a kit of 57 Gibson pickups found on their model and some jazz and then a Les Paul kit Duncans ... to see

In short, the sound is dynamic, medium and fairly clear, not overloaded with bass (maple forces), the sustain is good but incomparable with Gibson Luthiers or jazz, normal is not the same class! But I think it still stands well against them and in a good JazzChorus Roland, it does little ashamed!

So nothing to regret for the price, I like this sound, then we can always try to improve but ... which tells us that it will be much better ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 2 years and a half, it suits me perfectly. This is the guitar on which I work the instrument, it is used a few times live and ongoing.

To remember the really nice side to play, the sound impeccable, and the finish really good! In addition it comes with a hardcase ... a "BIG" plus!

Note that to use a pro / stud etc ... a kit of high-end microphones to see and test at least ... but it's not guaranteed that it makes a big step for this ... Ibanez

The price / quality ratio is really good for this model, it is correctly placed on the market, and provides benefits at the level of description. Again, notice all the world will be worth nothing compared to what qu'entendront your ears during the test and feel that your fingers once posed above.

If I just have something to say about her, she is perfect for my needs, she did not really ruined, and gives me full satisfaction ... Ibanez for once I say that, I will not bother me ...

I would put 10 because it really does a good job so no reason to go ...
