Does everything said in the opinion Previous.
Excellent design. 24 frets, which is rare for an electro, tell the truth, I've never seen others with many boxes.
Clean finish, very good electronics, very nice aesthetic. A true work of art by itself.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is lgre and comfortable.
The handle is, as very often in Ibanez, a great ease of play. I feel like I have an electric guitar neck by hand. Anyway, it suits me perfectly. Very good access to acute. Not surprisingly, given the use of guys who sign ... ;-)
The tuner is very well Designed with variable intensity LED Emitting, very practical and specific on.
The Fishman Aura prampli dowry of a system that feedback suppression does not work too badly. Practice for the scene.

SOUNDS

It sounds very good dj unplug (although the box is a small folk + standard), but his strong point is the sound branch which is exceptional for a guitar this price range. I t Completely bluff his sound (plugged into a Marshall AS 100 D).
It has sustain that lasts all week.
The prampli can easily find a good sound.
6 modes available.
I already tried several electro Ibanez, Yamaha, Takamine, Cort, ... none sounded as good once branch. They all taient far, very far to see Behind. But it must be said that some were resting in a lower price categories between leve ...

OVERALL OPINION

I could try it on a Marshall AS 100 D and a Fender Acoustasonic Junior (Personally I prefer the Marshall). I fell in love with his aesthetics, comfort and sonority of his branch. Since I can not sleep, I do not eat, j'conomise ... Joke part is my next purchase of guitar and the more the better tt.

Here it is, I've purchased. I am very satisfied except that I have to change the regulation of the focus plane and handle the bridge saddle by half! The string action silent incredibly high from the 10th fret. Jouabilit now is excellent. Too bad he had to have that setting. At the price I could expect dbours an instrument better rgl.

edit of 28/04/2011: With the use of a strap, jack / strap-lock tends to dvisser and is very difficult because of the beam CASC antilarsen the interior of the box. It took me to disassemble the prampli to tighten the nut of the interior! Next concert will be on a stool ...

These little problems make me lower the note.
