  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Overall Opinion

  (Originally written by Chroune/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  - How long have you been using it?
  
  
  
  I bought it secondhand in April 2008.
  
  
  
  Update, 15th March 2009: after one year, I had the need for a better guitar...
  
  
  
  - Which feature do you like the most / the least?
  
  
  
  Pros: very playable neck and good access to the upper frets.
  
  
  
  Cons: you want always more, no cons if you're a beginner!
  
  
  
  Update, 15th March 2009: average quality pickup, they sound too metallic and have a low dynamic range. After only one year I started having fret noise, even with new strings...
  
  
  
  - Did you try any other models before buying it?
  
  
  
  No, I got it at a nice price so I tested it and took it.
  
  
  
  - How would you rate its value for money?
  
  
  
  Good value for money if you buy it new (I found it secondhand).
  
  
  
  - Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
  
  
  
  Secondhand, yes. If I had to buy it new, I would try out other guitars before.
  
  
  
  Update, 15th March 2009: I lower the grade from 9 to 7! It's a good guitar for beginners... But once you are more experienced and demanding you'll have to buy another guitar (I personally bought a Mexican 70's Strat...).

  Overall Opinion

  - How long have you use it?
  
  For several months now ...
  
  
  
  - What is so special that you like most and least?
  
  The sound very good for the price and above all the ideal grip for a beginner
  
  The least little things such as: frequent and crackling sound a bit too metal.
  
  
  
  - Have you tried many other models before buying it?
  
  Those of knowledge, guitars € 100 over 300 €
  
  
  
  - How would you rate the quality / price?
  
  Excellent! We can do a better guitar, the amp comes with, however, is very limited. The bad thing for the price, I would have taken the guitar without the amp.
  
  Now I use a Vox AD15 has the space and the sound is simply great, but still a little too metal (if you're a fan, you could buy it!). This comes from the position of microphone I use, but other positions are not too many personalities and have a very good report
  
  
  
  - With experience, you do again this choice? ...
  
  Yes, picks, tuners, amplifiers (of ***** but still present), a great guitar, everything is good to begin with, the amp is a change quickly if you do not want to be disgusted with the guitar. We should not blame her, she has potential, but the amp provided does not develop it.
  
  
  
  The grip is exellent, the well although only two positions of microphones used on the 5, it is always better to have the choice
  
  In addition it has a nice little friendly face which is nice to see
  
  
  
  (For those of 1m80 and more, provide a strap ^ ^ It provided very limited in size)
  
  
  
  For a beginner it's the right thing 9 / 10
  
  Do not make the mistake of taking a guitar € 100 to be disgusted or need to change it from the start, or buy an expensive where you will hear little difference with this little Ibanez. Rather than take the good little amp and play!!

  Overall Opinion

  I now use this guitar for 1 year and this is my first scratch. I have chosen to base its look and all the positive opinions of him which ultimately proved to be accurate. Particulité its my favorite: very comfortable handle and easy to navigate, I do not like: the amp because even with the gain in depth we must push to reach its saturation ... to the great displeasure of the neighbors ^ ^
  
  Quality / price ratio excellent, you can find guitars of this quality at € 300, whereas here we have the whole package for much less than ca ... The pack is also very complete and will be suitable to any beginner.
  
  With experience, of course I bought this pack, but I expected a good combo and a good pedal when you buy (I know it's expensive but well ...)

  Overall Opinion

  Hi all I use this guitar and this amp for several months already and I am very satisfied. It is quite suitable for lovers of hard rock and metal pop rock etc etc ... I try the metallica, acdc, hendrix, and even from satriani after some time. It is designed for beginners who want to invest in the guitar. It provides access to easy high notes, good sound asser powerful in the bass, we slide very well on the handle, it is not too heavy. It possesses some defaults recess as little sizzle in some positions of micro, high notes not always "clean" and a vibrato that gets tired quickly. For the amp is rather powerful amp for a pack he never tires and is always at his level without forgetting that this is just the amp pack! That is why the RAPORT price / quality is very good I urge you.

  Overall Opinion

  The mechanical equipment is seriously a bath oil 2 single coil pickups and one humbucker ibanez vintage vibrato, deprobleme likely to change the strings but one by one, the finish is clean, the amp no background noise only tarnishes the signal guitar, you need a good earth if not a lot of snoring, with the cord jack too short and not so good, very good cover, good chromatic tuner, strap very well, Meditor
  
  I used the last two years
  
  the particular feature that I like most, the least? the handle is great for small mains.le least the 10w amp
  
  report quality / price 200 euros all 10.A no danger to his bank account
  
  With exprience, always the same choice
