UTILIZATION

Well, I'll tell you about the game plutt lead shred-fusion style. It is therefore an Ibanez worthy of the name, a guitar made for this. The handle is extra wide and extra sr flat. For bends, the thumb passes just above the handle. The strings are closer to each other. I am a rather dfenseur the traditional 6-string so it was a test INTERESTED.
The guitar is gnerale Legris and ergonomics is a prestige.
I t surprised that the thick rope (8th) is given in F #, I expected a Sol.
In fact, it's great because it allows to play power chords in standard position but all scales and arpeggios symtriques position. Therefore be found easily in 20 minutes j'tais dja surprised to be able "sweeper" on 8 string. Obviously the eyes and fingers have feelings srieusement opposed and must be a real time adaptation to believe that the strings are in the middle (5) and R (4).
This guitar also offers tural opportunity to play slap and tapping for those who want to learn stick!
Agree with other reviews, the strings are spaggettis origins, they are changed for better and more large.
In sum, I find agreeable and easier to play on this guitar on a 7-string. Personally, I would change the strings F # (8) for the (1) aige.

SOUNDS

You will never have the sound of Brian Setzer with this guitar. Because even though my concept of a dfenseur "sound is in the fingers," even when I have to recognize we can not lay eggs to a bull.
So the Power deathmetal and grind etc ... It is a rgal, you can almost put your fingers in pif, if the right hand edge, there is immediately a riff that cavernous hard.
Emg's are definitely not luxury with as low as master, you really are the top and the violin is not the strong point of this guitar (well the model I tried.
For the solos, it takes more than rflexion not to give in "nonsense". I did not find the sound excellent compared to other guitars. Difficult to develop a set of nuances. The style merger goes the limit.
I have not tried the clear, I think the guitar trs neutral gladly see if I can fade. I hesitate to 8 / 10 ... I put 7 (which is not a bad note with me)

OVERALL OPINION

I jou over one hour in a store, I think is hot.
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Ah, the +: the 8-string is unique and the handle that makes possible their use, Emg that reassure and strengthen the whole. Ah, forget it really face. An eight-string imposes ca!
The -: Sounds a bit entry-level finish, wood, his ...

- How do you report qualitprix?
I find it good for a guitar trs exceptional. 1500EUR it affordable for anyone who wants it. (Not like a Gibson Zakk Wylde). I think Ibanez rsonnable t produce this guitar also to benefit the greatest number and not one that would MODEL exclusive right in the catalogs. No maker worthy of this name do not make an 8 string to 1500EUR or for 2000 ... 1500 is the price for a stratum.
on the other hand, excluding additional 2 cords, so the same six chords classical guitar, that would be rather 800EUR 700-max for myself, blah, blah ...

Frankly, I find this nice scratch and would like to return the tater now ... Sr, she gave me a better feeling than a 7-string, it is radical.
