Value For Money : Excellent
- Production of Core if I remember correctly (the MODEL is apparently built, so impossible to find accurate information on the site)

- 22 frets, 2 single pickups, one humbucker

- SETTING THE volume and tonality of micro slecteur 5 points

Regarding the type of bridge and neck, it's not a point that I regard prt, so I can not tell you, but in this price range, it is not points they mainly look.

This guitar is complte, meaningless, everything is level features. It might just regret the absence of 24frets, nothing serious!

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable trs: Ibanez forces, but we like it or not sr, I love it!

Access in acute is good, as the weight, shape, mechanical, nothing wrong, the finish is excellent, which is a good trs in this price range.

"Gets it easy to sound good ?"... There have been good sounds easy, and slecteur 5 points can play a wide range of sounds, still a good place for this guitar.

SOUNDS

It hurts the bottom that must be well-sr perspective, we speak well of a 400 guitar!

In short: do not expect miracles from this guitar, you might say normal. But even when I expected a little better at the microphones.

I use an ME-50, and for now a little 15W amp Squier.

I play mainly Metal: Death, Black, Power, Heavy and others.

And that's the concern the: If this guitar provides a wide range of sounds trs correct, if there is one area in which it s'avre ineffective, the Metal.
Sr Although you can get a big sound on the bridge humbucker with distortion grows back, but losing much in precision. However, for beginners, it can be satisfied.

However, the micro neck is thrown: the highs are not fabulous, and if only one goes down a little on the low strings, it's a disaster. Too bad.

The guitar makes up for its clear, even if I play a lot on the ME-50 compressor for a more powerful, because the microphones are severely lacking.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ending for two years, I had no trouble with.

What I like most: ergonomics, versatility.
What I like least: Well, the versatility too! As they say: "Touch all, nothing good"

Mistake on my part, I had not tried many other models before (if not my guitar ... Premire)

But it must be nuanced: the report qualitprix is ​​excellent, sr this guitar does not fit too well what I'm playing and looking like her, and lacks a little personality of a ct, he There's nothing wrong.
If c'tait again, I will seek a srement other models, with a notammenet humbucker in the neck position.

Conclusion: This guitar should a beginners' confirmquot, seeking a good guitar cheaply, and if I deprecated those who play plutt of Metal, I highly recommend everyone else!
