/ Incredible value, the notice before talking about P90, actually I do not know. It sounds!
Party to buy a 1/4 or cash Aria Epiphone, I returned with Ibanez. The Aria really had a lousy finish and its rotten. The Epiphone Sheraton was not bad but as always with Epiphone's certainly powerful microphones really lacked definition. The Ibanez has best micro well but especially a better handle although piphone whose handle is my opinion is like a log (too thick to play fast, poorly finished frets that hard fingers.

Feature:
- Flamed sycamore body (beautiful)
- Mahogany neck with abalone markers, sweet frets
- 2 microphones P 90
- Bridge trapese covered with wood inlay
- Unfortunately made in China, but if it was made elsewhere, it would be 2000 euros ... so much the worse for my conscience!
- Flawless finish an American would swear!

USE

The handle is a highway, which is rare in this style skyscrapers but Ibanez has always designed super sleeves!
The box is a little wide, but it gives a real depth to the sound.
For access to acute, it is a little less than a strat but in 1 hour, it just comes ...
This guitar provides the thrill in the register of blues and jazz but one can easily hang beautiful crystalline sounds (that one is unable Epiphone ...)
We can play well Roots Rock ZZ Top kind of early.

SOUNDS

The number of sounds that can "hang with this guitar is amazing! According to the tone control can have a sound Jazz / Bossa super smooth and very sweet or conversely very rock'n'roll sonnorité!
For the blues on the neck pickup is really up, the sound is deep powerful!
The middle position is ideal for crystalline solos kind Quizas.
The strange thing is that it sounds great saturation, the definition of micro allows playing grunge or punk, the cramps, it sounds warmer than saturation strat.
Brief Fan Elvis of cramps, ZZ Top or conversely Charlie Christian this guitar is for you!

NOTICE GLOBAL

Imagine such a guitar at 490 euros there are only 10 years was impossible! It is found even on the web stores to 470 euros ...
We admire the beauty of the instrument before even playing it, and when one branch which slap! Much better than entry gretch, well above the Epiphone and other Washburn and Aria, this guitar is an investment because given the quality of manufacturing, it is built to last.
Go and try it in a store before buying anything on the net.
