UTILIZATION

Good easy guitar style playing 335
enjoyable race but could not fit everyone as fairly strait cot plutt head and body off the cot.
Access in acute ais until 17 am the box, but you get less APRS done.
plutt heavy guitar but balance (for this type of guitar ... 335).

SOUNDS

Trs sounds really good (not like an ES335, apart from the Difference of microphones, the sound is particular and personal property trs) in Jazz, blues, rock to see the good old hard rock, but in fact almost all not made for metal.
Try a marshall all lamps as light as saturated as happiness, sounds good up to the finish (which is rarely the case in this price range).
Try on a fender twin in the clear for the Jazz gniale.
The two microphones that I love (the same as George Benson, Pat Metheny ... but adapted the instrument of the term custom o) give great in all styles with more brilliance than the Classic 57 of my Gibson.
A true versatility for an instrument of outstanding quality.

OVERALL OPINION

J'tais party for a purchase from Epiphone Pigalle and in all these merchants nothing too prohibitive tariffs. But times have changed in this Parisian district. Amme were trying to sell me a Joe Pass sunburst more than doubtful in the light and the test.
I just bought new Ris-orangis (91) 699 euros, it is a matter knowing that it is presqu'introuvable CHRE gnralement and much more.
Fantastic finish the same binding that goes around the body of the head and neck is Rabl. A vritable orfvre work and elsewhere Ibanez does not communicate virtually on the guitar which is thundering (it seems that it is the work of children which is why Chinese makers that price trs low compared to the exceptional quality instrument). An excellent quality price that no competitor has so far reaches
I do it again because this choice without hsiter this guitar, it's gold, never seen. If you ever have the opportunity to try, you will not believe it ... A test video of a MODEL infrieur end of this guitar but it gives a small glimpse of what site: http://www.guitaretv.com/test-des-guitares-ibanez-as-103-af-105-et-af-125-video-12.html
Although the burr Saddle sounds more crystalline than basic dmo MODEL!
