Value For Money :
Excellent
manufactured in China, it surprise and scare little to buy but the quality is quite the appointment, it is the ibanez.
easel type tune'o'matic, two ibanez humbuckers with cache type ACH1/ACH2 chrome selector knob 3 positions.1 volume and tone micro effective.
22 medium frets neck, radius suitable for a quick game, it slides alone.
UTILIZATION
the handle is a highway, the guitar is pretty big, but played close to the body, it is a real treat. it's light, well balanced, access to treble is good even if it is not where we operate the best. it sounds very "unpluged" with a restriction on the bridge pickup.
SOUNDS
I bought it for a game above all jazz, and thus increase Thomastik-Enfeld then pulling hard. a roland jc 120 amplifier type (or emulation) is a pure joy if you only use the neck pickup or the intermediate position and the dosing volume and tone. I think this type of game that suits him perfectly, the bridge pickup has no interest.
given what I just mentioned and knowing that I play mainly light or very little saturated, I always find the sound that suits me, but my friends blues and rock and roll may have a different opinion because the beast is still very versatile because of its violin.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since 2006 always with great happiness. I was looking for a copy of the famous 335 to play jazz without having to put out my bank account, I am not disappointed! value for money is excellent and the old instrument, if you want to make it even more versatile and give it a particular color, change the pickups is a great base just waiting to evolve.
