Leurdamort « A good 8 strings »
Published on 05/15/11 at 05:13
Value For Money :
Correct
In which country was it made?
Indonesia
What type of bridge?
Fixed bridge Edge III-8
What kind of stick?
Bolt Maple / Walnut - wizzard II - 8
How many frets, what kind of microphone?
24 frets, active pickups (3V) ibz lz-8
What are the settings?
1 and 1 volume control switch equalizer
UTILIZATION
The handle is it nice?
Handle very nice, wide but thin and flat! Ibanez handle what ... For 8 strings!
Ergonomics is good?
RG standart form so well balanced, correct weight for a craft as this one
Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
Yes
Do you get a good sound easy?
I tried the guitar on my tube amp, the sound is good when the volume is not too high, but once you push the amp it gets too rough.
I am considering a change of pickups for 808 which I think will be much more suited to the guitar. The microphones are provided poor, no personality and very precise.
SOUNDS
Are they suitable for your style of music?
I play almost as metal so yes the guitar is very suitable
What kind of sound you get and with what settings?
Clearly once the switch is activated are correct, but not a good one buys 8 strings to make pleasant strolls ...
Saturated level I would say that the sound depends on your amp, but I put a lot of time to get good sound because of the pickups ...
With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play on a Peavey 6505 + 112 combo, I use a Whammy level effects and Wahwah
In summary: the EMG Seriously!
OVERALL OPINION
I use the guitar for a month now is a good 8 strings for those who do not want to invest too much in uncharted territory.
In summary:
The pros:
- Handle
- The bridge
- 8 strings
The -:
- Microphones
- The guitar does not come in carrying cases or galley house and I find one where she goes.
- The equalizer (simpa plain but unnecessary distortion)
- Finishing (small pieces of painted around the microphones, traces of sanding head, etc ...)
Value correct price but no more: I would have preferred to pay 100 € more and have delivered with EMG pickups, rather than the "active" mounted on the 3V
The guitar is impressive at first sight: Having never touched either for 8 strings IRL is still simpa to finally hitting them.
I directly would alter the original draft of 10 46 56 70. But it still Frize so I'll go in 10 or 80 52 64 76
Its micro level drool a bit and are not very accurate but with a good setup is to get some good sounds, both at light-saturated. The pickups are on the 3V which is pretty weird but hey it is with Ibanez! I think the change here this summer for EMG.
There is a kind of equalizer switch: There is no point in its disto but there is a bit more utility in the clear ...
The bridge it is, I think it's better than a tailpiece passing through, in fact it may well grant precisely the guitar and it's nice!
The neck is perfect: Large certe because of 8 strings, but thin and flat! (Thinner than my Jackson COW7).
Both adaptation record: Since I play a lot of 7 string I have set a few minutes to get used to the size of the handle!
With the experience I would do without hesitation that choice! I could buy the RG2228 but I am facing the RGA8 + Changing pickups which I think is a better investment, especially from Ibanez ...
