UTILIZATION

It's an Ibanez, so it has a rather thin neck, not to be as worthy of an RG. Moreover, the handle is probably one of the greatest qualities of this guitar, ideal for beginners, although fine and just wide enough. The frets are not too big and not unduly n'acrochent, allowing a comfortable playing. Access to acute rather well, even if a large bead at the junction sleeve body makes the game less comfortable in the last frets.

Another, vibrato (which is not a floyd for that matter) is totally unusable. A quick and presto, you are granted a quarter tone above, it is pure torture for the ears. Your best bet is to store the bar and give up its delusions of screaming bomb. Or even totally block the bridge, it is beneficial

SOUNDS

There, it thickens. Frankly, this guitar has no sound and his personality is of course extreme, but hey I am very severe, the price is quite normal, nor is the quality of a Les Paul, or its price (or an Ibanez SV is). The microphone is most interesting is probably the humbucker, which is slightly less flat than the others. But we must say that I only use very rarely singles coils, as the buzz they generate is unbearable (that due to poor shielding fillage and a guitar of this price ca not worth the trouble do it again, or do it yourself (;). As soon as I push a little tone, it still buzzes. So in the end, I have come to use only one setting and to play the sound only from my amp, a big Marshall still waiting for a good guitar sound to match his talent. So, in searching, you come to find something usable. And for the vibrato, both drop immediately.

OVERALL OPINION

It's really a great beginner guitar or very low price. Its two big advantages: it is not expensive and it's still a guitar. Otherwise, welcome the agreeableness of the handle, very good quality for the price, it's really his biggest quality.
