Ibanez V302

Bought for cheap at a music store, I thought I stumbled on a simple 12-string guitar, basic. Head slightly dented indicated that she was not the first youth, as well as the color of the varnish that had dark, giving a beautiful color honey.
By playing the sound surprised me but hey, pimply young guitarists I thought all the shovels had the same trunk.
The handle, wide and triangular is not a model of comfort, and are not barred without suffering.

UTILIZATION

The shape is like Dreadnought, so imposing, square shoulders and handle so pervasive in the triangle well pogne.
The first agreement opened the magic rope 12 operates, the spectrum is wide, its ample power and more than comfortable.
As indicated above, barre chords are galley to keep and if we do not shake like a donkey with the index, stifling the ropes and you lose the charm of the instrument. So try to keep notes on empty for even crossed ....
Beware also if you frettez wrong strings, beat the game according to a slurry quickly look shapeless.
It therefore asks the grip, but it gives back!
Try it the intro to Wish You Where Here!

SOUNDS

It suits me in a register folk, pop, rock and psyche.
Small arpeggios sound (provided that it put the energy and accuracy of placement), the rhythmic fly.
She enjoys the game well in finesse and softness, although it also accepts to be a little more violate.

A sense mons arpeggios played with fingers not sound right.

OVERALL OPINION

Intermittent service for 14 years, it requires a good gaming precision to give the best of itself.
Dating from 1981, it falls into the category of vintage guitars, and in fact it has its charm. One feels that she lived, which transcends it.
His biggest problem, requiring a handle.
His biggest quality: power and especially SOUND!

I recently learned that it was not a low-end guitar, especially as it was widely quoted .... Cool for me!
