Value For Money :
Excellent
Made in China: bah yeah there's China and China. It is true that there are sacred crusts from Asia on guitar but now it is the second Chinese Ibanez that I bought and told me with a good quality control, the Chinese are capable of making SUBLIME scratch for a price below the other. Gibson USA and saw some coming out of the workshop with defects shameful finish (yes, when you're paying € 2,000 a scraper account aesthetics), I would say that the Yanks have interest to recover because the competition is there . I'm not saying that all Ibanez are good attention they make cardboard from scratch again. Just do not prejudge and try one model to another in the same price range, you can find gems like scabs!
21 or 22 frets I do not know of any way can not go too saw the jig 3/4 guitar
2 doubles
2 vols. 2 tone
I finish natuelle with the binding timber and the whole shebang.
UTILIZATION
Well the first thing to be said is the aesthetics: THIS GUITAR IS SUBLIME and you can not help but look at it and touch it
The handle is VERY fun to play!
The varnish makes the feel of the scratch addictive suddenly it gives motivation to play and that's good!
Shape, but I love this question of taste, in any case the general ergonomics is good.
Access to acute: it is not his forte but this category scratch it seems to go together with the form 3/4.
For jazz, the sound is there no effort! At the time (I do not know if this is still the case today), Super 58 microphones were mounted on a lot of models signing Ibanez Jazz (Scofield, Benson ...) so surprising there.
Here I must say that the bridge pickup is pretty useless: P
The bonus: the bridge pickup gives a very good sound easily "classic rock" (not so amazing that it makes for connoisseurs
(But hey, why you have to push a little and feedback due to the body quickly becomes a problem, except in the recording.)
SOUNDS
Extra neck pickup for jazz.
Bridge pickup offers opportunities to classic rock but limited use because of feedback (this is a 3/4 after all!)
OVERALL OPINION
6 years easy I do not know when I bought the first import in France there were only a few models to test the market, it was not even the Ibanez catalog. She re-emerged a few years later in another color.
At the time I was playing jazz every day so I tried a lot of guitars: I had gone to buy a Joe Pass Signature (Emperor II it seems to me) but then for almost the same price I came on this guitar, even sound quality, much nicer finish, beauty, touch and addictive without the "signature" that I found personally pompous.
Quality / price ratio: the best I've seen in this range. When you pay the price on an Ibanez value for money and is guaranteed to last as the guitar.
I remake that choice without hesitation for jazz.
To date, unfortunately I do not play jazz for 3 or 4 years (it does not pay enough loool) so I use less and despite that I can not bring myself to sell it, it is to say!
