Everything has already been said.

Value for money very good.

UTILIZATION

For my part, there is a problem that bothered me at first (less now), it is the varnish on the back of the neck, I had a hard time dragging it. I know this is not the same for everyone but I'm just saying:)

The space between the strings and the neck of origin is very broad, but it's fairly convenient to begin, it makes your fingers. Method Wild.

I use this guitar primarily in Drop D and Drop C. rarely So for me, I think the space strings / neck is original nickel.

For Drop D, nothing to report, it connects very easily riff metalheads.
To Drop C, I am less convinced. The tuning is coarser, it is much less. Nothing catastrophic, but it works it's not perfect.

SOUNDS

Well, there you attack an important point.

Clean sound, this guitar is very anecdotal: Neck pickup without interest or almost central position unnecessary bridge pickup correct ...
It's not his department.

However, distortion turn hairy and there you will see this guitar to life. For 300 and wheelbarrows of € uros is quite impressive.

The sound texture distortions metal on the bridge pickup is thick and cold. Ca boise substain is good and frankly good. Even now it surprises me regularly.

However, beware of parasites that were quick to arrive, especially in Drop C

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar now for just over 2 years.

At the time when you buy, I had not tried other models. I had trusted seller ... who had made his taf and had respected what I was looking for: A guitar for the metal work, but the metal nearest groups Germanic / Scandinavian and American.

For the Rammstein, this guitar lacks precision. For the Bullet for my Valentine, this guitar lacks flexibility. For Metallica, this guitar lack of aggressiveness. For the Flames, it lacks depth.

At this rate, do not expect caviar ... but frankly, in terms of sound, after 2 years, a new guitar (RG 1570) and the habit of using LTD / ESP, I must say that Ibanez ART has what it takes where it's needed.

You like the riff that task, the disto substain abused, how you always look beyond the number "10" on your knob Gain, your budget is tight, you start? This guitar is cut out for you and follow you for at least 4 years.
(In a configuration group play, she defends herself quite well in fact!)
