    I believe this guitar was made in Korea or China, finally, there will.
    22 frets, easel "floating" like most half-boxes, the maple neck it seems to me, with a rosewood of thumb button is very nice.
    The pickups are signed Ibanez, it is not of very high quality, but overall it sounds great. There are two humbuckers, 1 run, an easel, classical and what effective.
    Settings could not be more conventional: 2 volumes, two tones, a selector.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is very nice, good ergonomics, although access to acute extreme is not easier (well, at the same time, achieve the latest cases is not the most important on a jazz guitar) Ergonomics are good, this guitar is lightweight an…

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is very nice, good ergonomics, although access to acute extreme is not easier (well, at the same time, achieve the latest cases is not the most important on a jazz guitar) Ergonomics are good, this guitar is lightweight and comfortable, although I never played standing.
    I did not either try to play with doing my yoga, but it should be the realm of possibility. Actually, who cares.
    The sound is very good, finally, it does exactly what I expected for a guitar of this range prix.A my opinion, we should be able to win as his changing the pickups, but already basic this is pretty good!

    SOUNDS

    I wanted a good guitar for cheap bosser grids / jazz chorus.
    Well, it's successful!
    Joe I mostly clean sound with some reverb, especially on the neck pickup, it's really cool, jazzy sound great!
    On the bridge pickup, with distortion, the fact that serious too!
    I usually plug in my bass amp MicroMark, the sound is really nickel.
    I found against by the bridge pickup lacks a bit of potato ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's a little less than a year that I have.
    It really is a nice guitar. Many friends, fine guitarists have tried, it all fell in love, even those who have gibson ES I really know anything more than 2000 euros.
    She is beautiful, it sounds, and is comfortable.
    Only the bridge pickup lacks a bit of potato in my opinion.
    The value for money is simply excellent.
    With experience, I remake this choice clearly.

    UTILIZATION

Change the original string by installing a set trs deep draft (12/52), if possible net flat: you can "lower the ride height" and compensate dplacement a bit long string rope saw the width of the handle. The tailpiece is a bit massive but sturdy trs.
    The weight is more qu'idal (hyper lgre for MODL).
    The shield body is trs gadgtique and dvisse. Turn to avoid the unwanted noise.

    SOUNDS

    When the sound is a joy for jazzeux! Neck pickup and mixed for semi-chorus or acoompagnement ARPG: hot sounds, round, incisive and trs own. The microphone is suitable for acute funky rhythm (with the effects and of course with accompaniments cl type rock / folk, but not its proper performance. So for the blues and accompaniment, it is quite bien.Il change of choice for pure instrumental pop / rock as adding effects fuzz, overdrive and decompression distos attack.
    A little more rverb and chorus amnent the neck pickup you straight to the Pat Metheny with his DLIC, almost the sound of the same name Ibanez MODEL! The sounds are at the top for what is a jazz guitar, knowing that I have a very simple amp without lamps: Fender Deluxe, I find all of the same gain a comforting touch of Wes.
    I recommend a rglage pots of volume 2 / 3 switches (mid-gain amp lightweight in between) and half for the neck pickup Tone. This is the micro INTERESTED: hot, round, sharp and to ractif Difference attacks. The highly efficient micro acute trs though of course for this type of acute MODEL: large range of r adjuster of Tone.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a week in addition to my Aria FA 30 (half box on which I put a neck pickup> Seymour and Di-Marzio pickup). I also three acoustic, a nylon (Godin) and two steel strings (Takamine and Applause). I jou two comparative MODELS: Aria FA 70 and Joe Pass. THE FIRST is far from the gallery for a price sesiblement identical, the second gure above. The original price of the Ibanez trs is attractive, even exceptional, and it is around 450 euros in equipment: no regrets yet about my choice!
