UTILIZATION
Playing mostly on a RG, I was afraid of finding myself with a large handle and tiring to play but this is not the case at all. Obviously, we are far from slim profile but the gameplay is exemplary for a particular model at rather low prices.
Level tones, this guitar looks pretty focused Metal but I find it pretty versatile, it leaves a very nice crunch and a clean sound rather crystaline (and varied thanks to the push-pull).
It rather heavy but nothing dramatic.
SOUNDS
I play extreme metal, with various types of tunings, I wanted a guitar without a floyd easy to tune between songs. Well I found my happiness! I use mainly for Laboga Mr Hector lives and to repeat, it is divided between a Blackstar HT100 and a JCM900. Whatever I use, it sounds. The palm mutes out well, the leads are accurate either on the bridge pickup or the neck pickup.
Note also excellent sustain!
OVERALL OPINION
I use this guitar for 2 years and it soon became my main guitar in front of my beloved RG. First attracted by its looks atypical of Ibanez, though a bit wary about the marketing campaign around this guitar, I was amazed by its ergonomics and sound quality. Biensur everything is relative, it is a guitar mid-range pulling all the same to the entry level (but not low-end). So this is certainly not the century of guitar but it gives me a real achievement on the part of Ibanez that in many associated design and quality.
I would do this choice without hesitation.
