  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  (Originally written by Kazuyo/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  
  
  Made in Japan
  
  24 frets, DiMarzio Tone Zone (bridge) and PAF Pro (neck) pickups.
  
  Ibanez Low Edge Pro tremolo
  
  5-way toggle switch, volume and tone controls
  
  Wizard Prestige neck (excellent!).
  
  
  
  I give it a 10 for the excellent pickups, the good lutherie and tremolo system. And... this guitar looks beautiful, it has a perfect finish and absolutely no defects.

  Utilization

  Very nice and fast neck with easy access to the upper frets.
  
  Ergonomically shaped body for comfortable playing while sitting or standing. Well-balanced guitar.
  
  
  
  - Is it easy to get the right sound?
  
  You can't go wrong if you combine DiMarzio pickups with a good lutherie....
  
  
  
  Nothing to criticize so I give it a 10.

  Sounds

  The PAF Pro produces very good clean and crunch tones. Switch to the Tone Zone for high-gain distortion and you'll feel its power!
  
  I plan to upgrade to a 2nd PAF Pro because I find the Tone Zone sounds too aggressive.
  
  
  
  I give it an 8 because the crunch sound could be better.

  Overall Opinion

  I've been using it for 1 year and it was well worth the money I paid (normal street price is a bit too high).
  
  
  
  Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?
  
  
  
  Yes if I still play heavy metal. But my taste is changing a bit and now I would probably buy a US Strat.
  
  
  
  And watch out for new Ibanez models which have no resemblance to older ones. In the past you got real DiMarzio pickups but now you get "DiMarzio/Ibz" models which they say have the same sound, and the lutherie is worst while the price remained the same!
  
  
  
  Overall I give it a 9.

  Characteristics

  Mahogany body / Flamed Maple top with natural binding SVP, class!
  
  finish on top!
  
  logo "prestige" mother of pearl, the back of the neck also
  
  short, it is superb!

  Utilization

  The neck is super enjoyable, the feeling of the game are like those experienced with the Ibanez "vai" etc ...
  
  the grip is just a rgal
  
  Electronic DiMarzio mahogany body + = on the little plug in anywhere

  Sounds

  Guitar versatile enough, it sounds great with any type of sound (distortion, clear crunch ..)
  
  the double coil is the sound "Vai / Satriani" but more "tough" with the tone zone!
  
  the neck pickup, it is just perfect! it's like a standard micro strat!
  
  position intermdiaire it sounds even more slamming .... I love it!
  
  posistion 2 and 3, it sounds like "tlcaster", with either two double set (for the funk is formidable), or two double splits (as in JPM).
  
  and the knobs team of resistors so that when you turn down the volume, do not lose treble (when you just can not taste without it)

  Overall Opinion

  My 2003 MODEL is, and not bought new for sale!
  
  bought 1500 euros and a few ... qualitprix report simply unbeatable
  
  I saw more than 2300 euros guitars (ESP, Vigier ..) and it is without forcing the comparison.
  
  Increasingly, the floyd is the low pro edge .... résumé is fatal in as I tell you!!
