I have since 9months, found okaz of new, very lucky given the low diffusion of this model.
This is a guitar pro, unlike a lot of scratch mark that differ only by the added frills.
Explanations:
The neck is a 5 pieces, three large (wooden cross) and two strips of walnut very hard for even more stability. As on my rg7 actually.
The tuners are super accurate, and buttons perloid have a raison d'etre: the balance of the guitar, she would have bent metal side head ...
Fine tuners side easel to adjust on the fly, class.
Luxury wooden buttons, truss rod cover with logo carved wood, it is far from plastoc here.
22 frets, perfect access, incredibly comfortable neck profile, consistent width (although the place for agreements twisted) perfect nut.

The pickups are super58 (benson!), but no split not need either as they are good in all cases.
Master volume Master tone, very smooth and progressive.
In short're making me blush!

UTILIZATION

This guitar weighs only slab, we can play for days without tiring, the handle is so comfortable as well. Everything falls exactly where it is necessary, it's perfect ergonomics standard.
Only the wings are hollow, however, the guitar is the pickups in full, in fact no feedback to report.
The sound is immediate, with three positions you can play with it almost everything.

Against by the original wiring is poor, while the standard artcore I had (and af75d am73) it was perfect.
So I rewired with shielded.

SOUNDS

Look no, these microphones are top! Definition, precision, grain, heat, or clean metal is just as good ...

I put them on a guitar that needed it, and installed microphones dirtiest and hot on the ibanez, with an option to split the neck pickup.
So it's even better for me, the violin transcends electronics. It sounds logical but here it is obvious.

OVERALL OPINION

So a guitar top, and who will not move with time and use.
I have not been able to determine if the frets are metal reinforced or almost indestructible, though.
I have changed that by kick mics, as is awd102 this is perfect.

Frankly I see not, for the asking price new was already given. How do they do?

One can imagine that the series is custom artcore any of the same ilk, if you are a musician more than collector drop the U.S. ...
It's up to you eh!
