UTILIZATION

The handle is you just get used to when we used a telecaster but well before 10 minutes is good.
CHAC in acute is really easy.
Great shape but quite loudre for this style of guitar but it's beautiful.
The sound is beautiful and this guitar can play a lot of things even if it is a guitar for blues / jazz / rock I use it for the garage-rock ind a must.

SOUNDS

Fully Yes, I use a pedal and a marshall mg30cdr Berhnger OD100 rule and when it's all great and there really is way to laugh and get cool sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks, the guitar is beautiful and the perfect finish Ibanez did a great (yes sometimes) it is well worth an Epiphone and a largely first act.
Super scratch for someone who's level but not too

Résumé to:
- Guitar manufacturer in China (one of the quality inquitude Well I find trs well done!)
- Trs handle accessible in the high (for this type of thundering guitar!)
- Type humbucker pickups Ibanez (its correct);
- Tune o matic bridge (for the solid Premire!)
- Tone rglage volume classic (type Gibson Les Paul) unless the change of micro switch that is proximity of volume and tone knobs;
- Set neck gibson intermdiaire profile (not the log!).

UTILIZATION

The handle is comfortable and allows a TRS Access in acute exceptional for this type of guitar half body. Guitar possde a form of "big lespaul" with two vents. It is relatively heavy and tends address ds ct box that you play sitting (like a Les Paul). The case is not Paisse (43 mm) which explains why the acoustic sound is similar to that of ES 335 type guitar but with much less magnitude. The sound offered by the microphones is clear and correct in trs even in saturation. I play blues rock, and the State, the sound of this guitar is suited this style of trs jeu.D Moreover, even with a relatively low action (personal rglage) handle offers great facilities for the game to bootleneck.

SOUNDS

This guitar matches my style of play (blues rock). Plugs into front man 100 w FENDER, I get a crunch and its saturated trs correct on all positions. The clean sounds are good trs (this is specially the ibanez pickups and installs all quipent IBANEZ "jazz" This category in price between 300 and 500 euros).
Given the significant potential of this guitar (of violin quality, comfort handle ,...), a change of pickups parat required.

OVERALL OPINION

Buy new 260 euros on a website well known "Mr. Deal" (in French in the text), I must admit that the quality price ratio poustouflant!
This guitar is a kind of ES 335 "single cut" to thunderous opportunity.
In my opinion, given the quality of the whole, the change of microphones needed. In this context, all options are available to make either a trs good jazz guitar, an amazing guitar blues rock (as it is, I think his music prdilection). Personally, I ordered two dj GFS pickups.
So excellent (imbattable!) qualitprix report in the game of 300 to 500 euros.
A guitar capable of micro APRS change to compete with many prestigious MODELS and much more expensive (as of 2000 euros del !)...

Since then, two weeks I finally changed the pickups (2 GFS CRUNCH Cramique I advise everyone for their excellent report qualitprix) and I must say it's a real turie for blues and m jazz me! Of all the Manir better good "raisin bread" as alnico low end! ...

see the features on the site ibanez for details.
Can I say: Tune-o-matic (very comfortable), two microphones and dual volume and tone for each pickup and a 3-position selector.
classical sum!

UTILIZATION

good, it's not for me but I am the assigned indefinitely (it is better at home and serve it at home rather than in a closet gathering dust) so thank you benj!

it is an instrument very well balanced, whether in physical sound. you can play it for hours without tiring, the handle has a thin profile (Ibanez) and all kinds of games are possible (even the shred of nag).

I prefer to play sitting with this kind of instrument Maias standing is not a problem (the owner was playing up!).
I set up this guitar with strings threaded flat as a matter of tone.

SOUNDS

the pickups are very typical jazz, but if you like that kind of sounds is perfect. we can get the blues side of the bridge pickup, but keeping the grain specific.
I plug the guitar amp, pedals or live on a sound card and it still sounds.
Personally I like the neck pickup with the tone in half, a slight reverb.
I tested this guitar course with all types of sounds, from the air to the big floyd distortion so brutal death and of course, there are more adequate records!

OVERALL OPINION

here must be 3 years that I was given this guitar (I wanted to learn before) and here goes, the more I play it.
is a very good instrument, both aesthetically and at the level tones.
the price / quality ratio is excellent .*
I think my friend even offer me sell it because it is gradually becoming my main guitar even if it is not really versatile.

It has already been referenced by other reviews ...

Very good in all cases (especially after changing microphones)

UTILIZATION

Use of this guitar I was surprised, I was more used to playing on Ibanez typical metal handle so slim.

I had no problem putting my hand in, a comfort awesome game.

SOUNDS

I am filled sound level, I am installing a Seymour Duncan small kit (SH2 and SH4), how not to fall in love with its versatility?

I play many different styles (metal, Oi!, Psycho, Rock, Hardcore, Post-Hardcore), it is perfect for all these styles with the SD kit.

I played on a Vox VT40 + for 2 months, it sticks on all the mods (my favorites: Vox AC30-red-, UK and Metal-orange).
Before I played on the Vox H & K Attax 100 second version, it was also a pure pleasure, on 4 channels.

OVERALL OPINION

So overall I have been using a little more than a year and I can not get enough.

I have had many guitars since I play (12 years) and is one of the rare that I do not separate.

The feature that makes this guitar is that I love her look and incredible versatility.

Value for money unbeatable, I bought secondhand € 200. (Price of total return with micro SD: 335 €).

I would do without hesitation that choice.

In short:

- guitar made in China (and what about quality? I find it very good!);

- very easy access to the upper frets (surprising for such a guitar!);

- IBANEZ humbucker pickups (sound ok);

- tune-o-matic bridge (seems to be rugged!);

- Les Paul-style volume and tone controls except for the toggle switch, which is too close to the controls;

- set neck with Gibson profile (not too thick!).

UTILIZATION

Very comfortable neck with an exceptionally easy access to the upper frets considering it's a hollowbody guitar. The guitar looks like a bulky Les Paul with two F-holes. It is rather heavy and the body tends to tilt when played sitting down (like a Les Paul). The body is quite thick (43 mm) so the acoustic sound reminds an ES335 but the sound is thinner. The pickups produce a good sound both clean and distorted. I play blues rock and the guitar is great for that particular style. I adjusted the guitar for a low action but still the neck allows you to play slides smoothly.

SOUNDS

This guitar perfectly fits my playing style (blues rock). I play it with a 100-watt Fender amp and I get good crunch and distortion sounds with every pickup combination. Very good clean sound (these Ibanez pickups on all budget jazz models sound best clean).

Considering the high-quality manufacturing (finish, neck, etc.), I think it's worth a pickup upgrade.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it new on the web and the value for money is amazing!

This guitar is kind of a single cut ES335 with huge possibilities.

Considering its overall quality this guitar really deserves better pickups. If you do that you'll get a very good jazz guitar or an exceptional blues rock guitar (that's its favorite music style). I already ordered two GFS pickups.

As a summary, this guitar offers an excellent (unbeatable) value for money.

Once the pickups have been upgraded this guitar can compete with much more prestigious and expensive models...
