All user reviews of 5/5 for the Ibanez RG2228

- In which country she does doing? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)

japan, made in Team J. Craft

book with a sumptuous box, a manual in French and a small tool kit, class

- How many frets, what kind of microphone and their configuration?

24 pitch long enough Fretes two humbucker spcial 8 strings, EMG Actfs "type 707" config.
standard volume knob, knob toalit enough ractif

- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?

Floyd fide top with cord lock the handle

the screw rgle the plate was hard, it took the rinsre and paste

this blocking style and tuning for me is not a good solution, some screws to have a truly rglage end with reduced stroke tuning is more stable than LTD SC607 for example, and whenever it is necessary to make a great rglage, it must dbloquer the strings, it is not practical

- What are the rglages (volume, Tone slecteur micro ...)?

Volume, Tone micro-inning two-pickup, standard

- What type of race?

late, very late, wide, very wide and very fast ... but available

the action is original too high, do not go down the hsiter floyd

my rating is sharing for the voltage system of ropes, I will put 6, but for the equipment ... so I put 9 8

just a note that Ibanez is totally fucks small defects of this guitar and lets grate only ca resellers

from same justqu 'prtendre the pulling of origin is used by the custom shop's frozen bone

USE

- Is the handle enjoyable?

very oddly the handle is very pleasant (clean finish, slipped pleasant)

- The access to acute (desti- nations most recently freight) is it easy?

no problem, since it is a stratabound form

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

good ergonomics, except that the guitar falls a bit ct of the handle, a wider strap and straps correct what default

- Gets it easy to sound good ...?

like all those who are tested, we immediately tomb and irrmdiablement sound in love with this shovel, it is hot, fat, full, alive (according to the shooting using cords) on the other hand, it will take with a big sound change with new strings, for some reason I do not know the origins strings probes (also far too low), and much more serious-as ropes mdium standard (blue steel and D'Addario) that sound cooler, more aggressive

combinations possible with two microphones and tonality are very intressantes

having said that with these active pickups, even when the sound is less than the prcis 8 Hufschmidt, and we can adapt to its microphones, the shape is not the same

little tirade on the pull string that is too low, 0.09 - 0.65 it will replace the 0.10 - 0.70, 0.72 view

attention, it will break through the mechanics of my 8 string that accepts only the 0.65

SONORITS

- Appropriate your style of music?

totally addicted Mtal on the other hand for cleans, well it's an EMG what, ca not sound like a Benedetti

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?

rivera Knuckelhead local and Marshall AVT 100 at home, no problem for either side, but I am looking for a new sound

cabinet mesa ca and I think it is a must

for effects, see my profile, but for now, I do not specially used with this guitar

- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold", ....)?

then a hot distos or aggressive choices, sometimes lacking some precision, a little too mushy, but be too san imprcis

for clean, look elsewhere

- What are you sonorits prfrez, you dtestez?

I prefer what is undoubtedly the top to me this instrument, new possibilities for games with a large manufacturing quality (although very simple) and its

NOTICE GLOBAL

- How long have you use it?

two months

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

the sounds it makes and the possibilities of games, it's magic

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I have 3 strings septa and I test the 8 strings Hufschmid

- How do you report qualitprix?

very decent because of the unique aspect of this 8 strings

- With the exprience, you do again this choice ...?

yes of course

its only default, (when small problems rgls) is an Ibanez (more brand oriented marketing that big business escendant violin) but it is no longer a secret

Made in Japan.

UTILIZATION

This is the easiest-to-play 8 string I've ever used. And best sounding. As an 8 string, one would think the neck is ridiculously big, and hard to get around on. Not the case at all - this guitar plays like a dream. The 27 inch scale gives the strings tightness, but isn't so long it feels like a bass. The thin neck profile and flat radius make all strings and frets within easy reach. That Edge iii fixed bridge with the locks really helps with the tuning stability. And, the axe balances well on the lap or standing up.

SOUNDS

I said it was the best sounding 8-string I've played. I meant it - this thing smokes! The low B and F# strings are very tight, and growl and djent with the best of them. Wait, this is the best of them! The EMG pickups are very nice - I'm usually not a fan of actives, but these are nice. I've heard great things about the X series also, so I'll have to try them out at some point. However, these stock 808s give me just what I'm looking for in a pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

Perfect 10s on an 8 string beastly guitar. I'm not a fan of black instruments usually, as I wear a lot of black clothing and I don't want the guitar to look lost up on stage. Also, I don't want to have everyone think that I'm the scary "all-black" guy. But this black is very nice - Ibanez calls it "Galaxy Grey", but don't fool yourself - it's black. A glossy, metallic black, but a nice black.

The neck, bridge, and pickups on this thing are perfect, and so I give this all 10s. Fantastic instrument.

UTILIZATION

Ergonomics Ibanez RG trs so enjoyable to play a bit heavy but comfortable nothing wrong it's good.
for good against the run trs comfortable despite the width.

SOUNDS

I play a Laney VC50 2X12 2X12 cabinet with in extention. the level of output is standard. for her it's not clear Fender and it's not the same as with Alnico nuences but clean, and prcis a bit hot. APRS is the job of the amp and / or effect. Ibanez's not really characters but which pletes the will of the guitarist.
the same but with the crunch Laney you get to have something "crmeux".
Distortion in the Laney is not a high gain amp but it is usable metal, my rglages with a Dimarzio Dual sound and Norton taient distortion and gain 10 4.
with ibanez 8 I lowered the gain level of distortion remains unchanged.
fulfilled its rle this guitar and why I bought it. I am satisfied with my purchase

OVERALL OPINION

I've been playing for 15 years and I had 25 guitars (acoustic nylon and steel, and electric bass of course) on which 3 measures. so I think in hindsight to judge the instrument.
not a custom shop guitar, but this served its rle and why it is intended. RVer should not do with flamenco.
so it's a good buy.

I changed the tuning to exploit certain advantages from the 8 strings.
the 1st to the 8th: G, D, E, F, C, G, D, A is less than a standard tone with a rope supplmentaire in serious and acute;
agreement as well, we can tackle the phrass 3 octaves without dmancher, this allows particularly prcis work and keep a certain effectiveness of play
I work mainly in the clear principle of play
