Value For Money : Excellent
24 frets.
Wooden body "basswood" in English. It's the lime.
2 humbucker pickups - 1 micro simple.
Standard floating tremolo. I had the same problem: the vibrato was rising too. I aprsrglages the block and a change of pulling strings "light", 9 / 42.
1 volume knob, 1 tone knob, 5 slecteur positions.
Rosewood handle with "shark teeth" for the class. Comfort Ibanez, who made his reputable.
Trs good finish.
It is very well team for its price I think. Jumbo Frets Nickel / silver I think.
Only problem I had, but it is unique (j'espre): I broke about 4 cords a week, to a default level of vibrato, which sawed the strings in the fold, when the strings come out of the bridge (there was a sharp edge in each hole). Normally, the holes o pass the strings are lgrement lims to avoid such incidents, except that the lim c'tait to what I understood. A MODEL pice after the right-handed may be ... which does kindly rpar by my dealer (and blackjack). After 3 times when even! I think it's really a unique case that should not get included in the notice for the purchase of this skyscraper.

UTILIZATION

Channel Ibanez, therefore thinner, more enjoyable for me.
Access in acute easier.
The shape is classic. She is not heavy trs.
With a Zoom II guitar pedals before, I had a good sound even when. For the price I think there is no better.

SOUNDS

Yes, it is trs versatile because of its config microphones.
To beginners, I played on a Ibanez 15 watts, so I had the pure his Ibanez. APRS, unfortunately I sold it for a Torque Amplifier 100 watts (I regret is a heavy 100 watts).
His nag with a hope and aggressive MetalZone II or with another pedals in config humbucker bridge.
Its perfect for the sweep with a good distortion and clean sounds, round the blues with the neck humbucker.
For cons, the microphone is not simply my opinion, the sound is pretty rotten and mean well mdiator "snapped" while playing. In gnral what makes the charm of a simple microphone, sound slamming as the strats, but it s not the same level. Better to play with the neck humbucker.
If you left your and you're looking for this type of sound, we must move towards plutt Fender, which offers one of the largest ranges on the market for left (thank you Jimi Hendrix had seen the day) . Yes I'm in technical sales Fender otherwise :-).

OVERALL OPINION

Perfect for beginners.
Not tried other models, the left-MODELS, has not run the streets.
To beginners, I went on a Cort X2. The seller did not really screwed up in my mouth plutt point me to it.
Best qualitprix all makes me confused, for left-handed anyway. Ms. Currently I believe that there is no better.
For 250, well worth the money.
But no no, I prfre my Squier hit a 150 with the amp ... I would do without this choice hsiter! Eyes closed!
