Excellent
This beautiful Ibanez guitar made in Indonesia is a true bomb to its price ($ 400). She has a vibrato Edge III Floyd Rose Tremolo type really reliable and accurate and a 3pc Wizard II neck Maple neck style "highway" 648mm/25.5. "As for freight, there are 24 of jumbo. The pickups are passive two humbeckers and a simple range of infinity. All settings will sound with two knobs, volume and tone into a microphone selector five positions.
UTILIZATION
The handle is surprising at first, but quickly became enjoyable in every way. It is slightly wider than average, slightly convex, ie flat, and is of type highway. This greatly facilitates techniques such as sweeping, tapping, the alternate picking, etc. ...
In terms of ergonomics, is ... we will make it very convenient. The RG form is impeccable. However weight is a bit problematic. To be doing several concerts where the "headbanging" was de rigueur, the back does not necessarily appreciated. But laugh as very serious. This remains a very good guitar. Access to the treble is very easy. But do not expect too much from the last four freight (except if like me you like the tapping techniques that vary much between the first and last frets quickly).
For sound, it's very easy to get one correct. With many amps on which I played with this guitar, I always have a good sound. Certainly different every time but still ...
SOUNDS
This guitar is very much my style of music. Ie, Alternative Metal, Progressive Metal, Nu-Metal. For Death Metal and Heavy Metal, I admit that the microphones are perhaps a little too "passive." Fortunately, my Boss Metal Core ML-2 is aggressive.
Playing in a group (with a 5-string bass), I use a setting rather flat. Two-thirds of treble and midrange and 1 / 2 low. With that, my bass and distortion of the metal is sent!
Now the stuff in full force:
-Boss Metal Core (bass distortion)
-Boss Distortion (distortion)
-Boss Chorus Ensemble (chorus)
Cry-Baby (wha-wha classical)
I never were disappointed with the sound of my guitar. The problems always came amps.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this guitar for 1 year and a half now. As you may have noticed I am very pleased, but still is it that I'll change it. It is in every respect almost, adapts well to a lot of style, comes from a good job, etc. ... but this is not a professional guitar! Small defects is on them can be felt at some technical level achieved. For audio, you just change the pickups!
Strengths:
The handle-
The vibrato-
Weaknesses:
The micro-
The weight-
That said, the price / quality ratio is excellent.
For what it's interested, I'll go to a Lag Arkane 500 Stage Black Shadow. =)
