Value For Money : Excellent
On the head of my guitar I read that it is manufactured in Indonesia.
24 Jumbo frets; HSH configuration: Bridge Pickup Ibanez INF4, Micro simple: INFS3; Micro Channel: INF3
Type of bridge Floyd Ibanez Edge III I think.
A volume a tonality a 5-way switch
The English Channel is Maple profile D and very flat and thin. The body is basswood and is rather thick.

9 because the frets are sometimes not very well finished on the sides of the handle. Apart from this small quasi-anondin Dtail, saying nothing.

USE

The English Channel is pleasant yes, it's an Ibanez, very suitable to many fast game play ease in els last frets, I play a Gibson SG and I have to feel swim in the boxes at the beginning. It's just not an SG but the 24th box access is done without even thinking about it.
Compar SG seems to me that guitar heavy (thick body), but the weight is correct and the guitar is well balanced.
The volume knob is placed so that one uses when playing (even if mine needs a little lubrication if I want to handle the little finger at the same time I attack . (violoning what.)
Floyd type Vibrato is easy to use and well rponds, just a little bit slow though get back up, too bad. (9 a.)
It may be noted that the guitar sustain a fairly consquent when trying to tune it, (I say "try" because I dbute tuning with floyd.), In fact they do not forget to 'stifle the ropes before sounding the following as they ring for loongtemps. But let's see the sound ...

SONORITS

What made me buy this guitar is a need to play faster. The SG had its limits for acrobatic solo parts. (No floyd, thick neck, Gibson Pickups in plain punch but not ultra-precise). In short, the original pickups allow it sounded pretty good. The guitar is as versatile as what your amp, We do not play with the volume buttons to move clear saturated because the output level of the microphone is too consquent has still saturated. (Otherwise I would not recommend leaving the bottom volume).
When we play the high notes sound retains its thickness which is a good point.
The sound is powerful and balanced was just missing some mediums (but my ear is perhaps too accustomed SG).
With this output level no problem for metal. The precision is not at the top, but sufficient to make good rhythm parts in that style.
I am rather Rock / Glam / Heavy and also quite sure, but do not give much feelings (lack of personality)
I tested with a Vox Tonelab SE, and I tried a lot of presets. I use it mostly with modern high-gain sounds. arpond well but sorely lacking in personality.
I have not tried on my tube amp that is in rehearsal room. But for the moment appears to me as a good solo guitar. I have a Dimarzio PAF Pro and Fred just waiting to replace both Hambuckers of this guitar. I long to see what was going to give.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I've had a few days.
I like its ergonomics, its handle.
I've tried a few, but mostly in the same range (and our day not bcp choice left Ibanez.), That is what I decided.
The price quality ratio is excellent. The pickups are average but when even allow good s'clater, The floyd and finish are of good quality 430 it's really a good plan.
I soon moved to more than 200 Dimarzio pickups, I tried the same guitar with good quality microphones and has become a really good deal, a formidable weapon.
