2 humbuckers (bridge and neck) 1 nmicro simple in the middle, all Powersound home Ibanez (very average quality, to summarize ...)

1 Floyd Rose vibrato very annoying to deal with, purchase of necessary springs + head taken to provide regular

1 set (inaccurate) 2 tone, 5 position microphones

Thin neck, but very high freight rates that make the game difficult

UTILIZATION

Access to treble is ok but the frets do not really help ..
Form, but aggressive classical and I like that weight is not excessive.
The different gear positions are quite eclectic and sound differently, at least clean.

SOUNDS

Dedicated to heavy rock, I used it with a Peavey Studio Pro 112 and a Fender 130W (bcp better in fact), dual microphones allow its metal its low quality makes mushy, vague, in a word, ugly ...
To my surprise it sounded better than plain distortion, with a fairly diverse range of sounds depending on the position of the selector!
And finally I loved both the micro environment of the simple double-sided easel for distortion, too choked and dirty otherwise.

OVERALL OPINION

I kept 3 years and have sold to move to a Squier Fat Start Standard with Seymour Duncan humbuckers at the bridge, the difference in accuracy is stirring ...
Its pointed shape, aggressive, liked me very much, and was finishing DX pale blue-green metallic (very good) and the marks on the handle so shark teeth (Yeah, but less good ..)
Basically it was more for form and substance that I bought it, and then Ibanez had a pretty good reputation (the Offspring Wuhu!) (Now I am wary of them!), And j ' I regret having made an aesthetic choice ... even if my new Squier is (relatively) ugly, I do not care!
Purchased 2600 F at the time, it was still a pretty good scam I think. I do not do it again this election, even with experience the ear and progresses to choose other criteria that qimple appearance and reputation of a rock mark ...
