SOUNDS


Ibanez guitar sounds fantastic in a hard rock or metal setting. These guitars are very tailored towards the metal guitar player because of the fast action neck, but more importantly the body shape of the instrument. The tone of this guitar is not very woody or full of soul but it's good fast action neck and quick playing balance. They generally come with the Floyd Rose bridges so that eliminates a lot of the blues players. This can be a guitar that's geared towards the aggressive style guitar playing. Whether you put it in a clean or high gain setting it can sound great but where it really finds its natural place is in a high gain distorted tone.


OVERALL OPINION


These guitars you can find pretty easily but depending on the color it might be harder to track down. Ibanez guitars pretty much feel exactly the same from instrument instrument. Depending on which pick up is used will determine a lot of the current tone of the instrument. These guitars really take to what ever pick up you give them. So they're very versatile guitar in that sense.
