I copy-paste the stat bugs ...
Active Humbucker LZ4-7N IBZ (neck) + LZ4-7B (bridge)
Function with active EQ boost / cut
Chrome black hardware
Mahogany body
Table curved flamed maple
Channel Wizard Prestige maple / walnut
Rosewood 24 frets jumbo
Abalone inlays
Edge-Zero tremolo-7 system with ZPS3

For me it is very good, although I prefer the feel of the keys of ebony, but it gets the luxury ^ ^
The pickups send good sound, even if you feel the least differences between the three positions on my other Iby prestige.
Very well set at the factory and flight class!

For it is against rather heavy.
The color is very nice as well, in light gray with purple highlights but when it's artificial lighting!

UTILIZATION

This is what ibanez ... While we feel that the guitar has not been thought in the mind of shred, but more modern metal so djent example, there are ways to go very fast WITHOUT above problems.
And it sounds ^ ^ in all directions, all positions, there's nothing to say except that it may be useful to go back a little to the side "acute" microphones because the basic output level of the notes played on the strings of mid / treble is not so great ...

ZPS3 system is also very effective, there is almost never need to retune, even while doing good dive bomb violent ... By floyd is against the "harder" than some other models., Must make if not used.
Some effects of floyd are not feasible with this system, however, such as atrial flutter (when you give a blow to the rod and it oscillates for half a second ..; "Brlrlrrlrl" if you know what I mean!) .

SOUNDS

For the metal: perfectly.
For other genres, I am more doubtful. This is not the most versatile Ibanez, far from it. Thus, it clearly is not wonderful for my taste, the sound is quite dark, even with the tone knob to maximum.

However, when one is in high-gain ... This is the foot ensured. The power chords shake the shack and resonate ... resound! The bass is super set! It's really the sound that is suitable when you want to stack the floors of distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since August 2011 so I had time to make a first opinion ...
Maybe he will have evolved by a decade!
Anyway I had taken to add another string to my group ... Ben at this level I was not disappointed! The rhythms come out great and are really well defined, the palm-mute opens cracks in my wall ...

So if it is brutal to the metal, we must go for it!
For rock / hard rock / blues ... Bof.
