Manufactures in Japan. This model is no longer manufactured today.
Very good manufacturing quality (as, I think, on the greater part of Ibanez Japan).
Channel in three parts, 20 boxes.
2 micro Ibanez (Super '58 I think).
3 possible configuration for the pickups (neck, neck + bridge, bridge).
4 knobs: volume for each pickup 1 + 1 tonalitbr /> aesthetically, it is also quite nice.

USE

The handle is rather pleasant to play.
No problem for access to acute.
Ergonomics: Ben is a Jazz guitar what, quite bulky but nammoins trslgre.
Gets it easy to sound good? blah.
Parcontre, I must admit that the accuracy of the notes and intonation impressed me.

SONORITS

Nah, its a way, not very Jazz my taste. For a guitar of this price (between 1000 and 1200 euros secondhand), we can not ask for the moon. But I find that a lack of rsonnance (it's not a real semi-hollow, the thickness is more like a quarter of a case). Not particularly friendly either. Anyway, its a way, and not really jazz. However, one should be able to draw something alone, mostly in blues, well I think.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I tried one week and then resold.
At departure, I thought I'd pay quite expensive for what it was. Then I tried other guitars in this price range and they all have the same problem just got my: acoustic qualities clowns. Yet it is the only intert a half box over a solid-body: the natural rsonnance of the instrument must be felt. Honestly, I tried later to other guitars in the same budget and above, and I think the Ibanez FG 100 is not too bad class quality report view price.
But we must not dlirer either: it's not a reference number for the Jazz, otherwise has to be.
