Mastertimer « Very good instrument »
Published on 12/01/10 at 12:55It was made in Korea
The handle is said GRG1 Maple Neck, which keeps the main asset of the sleeves Ibanez
The bridge is a Fat10,
The guitar has a total of 24 frets,
It is equipped with three microphones, two doubles and a single configuration MSM.
The pickups are exactly one PSND1 next round, a NSDP as a simple microphone and a side PSND2 easel
Level setting, a micro switch 5 positions, easel, easel / single, simple, single / round, round.
There is also a volume control and tone.
I put a note of 8 / 10, basing myself on the fact that it is a guitar mode, and that for that price, it was really a very good material with this guitar.
UTILIZATION
So, point by point:
- First, we start with the handle. Then the handle ... what about ... is truly characteristic of Ibanez. If you have the opportunity to compare with the Fender Squier of all those I have seen begin, you'll feel the difference ... damn the handle is very little varnish, or very well polished, as it does not catch, it glide. We go from bottom to top of handle with ease. For those who just want chords, it is perhaps not the best thing, but hey, we like it or not.
- The shape is purely RG. This is typical of the superstrate. The only thing we regret the visual level, it is the "Gio" on the headstock that displays the label "beginner" on your head .. but hey, we still will .. after all, a beginner who will test your guitar will be 8 out of 10 chance of finding at its best Squier or other .. In weight is perfect, it is light enough that the stick from up (not too much eh), not practical for the serious (it's only a matter of adapting any way), but very handy for the treble.
- Access to treble is even easier than the shape, weight, and the wooden handle are perfectly suited to this type of game
- Getting a good sound is very simple .. one is tempted to play with the little button that was at first, but gets tired quickly and you end up leaving them as the background sound you prefer.
I put 8 / 10 also, because, again considering the beginner guitar, usage is simple, the instrument is easy to learn, and believe me you will keep this instrument long.
SOUNDS
The guitar suits my style of music .. I do not see the same things come back ... "It is particularly suited to rock and metal influences, if you listen to Rammstein and Slipknot, etc. .." It is not wrong, but for me that is rather special musical influences, I admit I was a little confused when buying. I listen to Van Halen, Steve Vai's, but particularly Patrick and Joe Satriani Rondat while incidentally magnet AC / DC in their early success .. I listen quasimment that the Hard Rock Instrumental, Neoclassical or Instrumental. And seeing all these reviews that focused only on the Metal or Rock, I was reluctant to buy this guitar.
Well, it suits the style of play is very well suited to this style. The main problem is now very severe training to undergo to arrive at the previously mentioned artists.
The sound is good. Everything depends on the amplifier used, but from my side, my guitar sounds really good. The sound at the microphone next to his easel should lead to frenzied solos or just to sound somewhat aggressive. The micro side handle gives a heavier sound, without much exaggeration, however. The sound is still too round with this configuration to play the blues in the style of Albert King, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan or provided. When the microphone simple, I'm using it personally for playing rockabilly. Configurations coupled with the microphone are simply bland, although the configuration handle / single is perfect for blues mixed this time.
I use my guitar amplifier with a U-Tronics Valley And Blues, a 80 watt transistor, which gives a very close tube amplifiers. The Marshall 15 watt with which it traditionally begins really sounds too sharp, too transistors, the sound is really ... I say bad, but it is not with this guitar anyway. I also changed the pickups origins, slightly too bland for my taste (but widely enough to start) for the configuration of my idol, Joe Satriani, namely a PAF Joe, Fred and PAF. The sound finds it more dynamic, which makes the guitar still does better. I also use the distortion pedal of Mr. Joseph, the Satchurator, which offers a much better distortion than my amp. The sound is simply excellent, perfect for almost any style, especially in the instrumental, he says wants to light or "shred", although I do not like using that term ...
I put 7 / 10, because the sound is very good, but the grip is a better point, however, that the sound, which is slightly too bland, but is caught by the amplifier and the switch that makes it very versatile.
OVERALL OPINION
I use my guitar for 1 year, I made great progress with, at a speed very very satisfactory, and with the progress, I begin to regret the tremolo (which the passage does not at all out of tune), which is not a Floyd anyway, so I think taking a RG 370 DXL shortly, which shows how it suits me, because between these two models, only the bridge is different, the characteristics are identical.
Versatility, handling and ergonomics are very good, this is by far his strong point.
The sound may seem bland, depending on the amplifier used. We can not say it enough, it's not the guitar that makes the biggest sound is all about the amplifier.
The price / quality ratio is just excellent, it suits me always after this great year of play
With experience, I do it again this choice with your eyes closed, and I recommend this guitar to all beginners unfortunate left in search of a guitar within reach of their means, and by far the best in its price range.
