- Corps Acajou
- Jumbo Frets
- Bridge Tremolo Edge Pro III
- Pickups DiMarzio D Activator neck and bridge in

One volume knob, one tone and 3-position selector type Gibson

I put 9 because I always wanted to have two knobs and a selector of each place as the Gibson (I quibble so you take into account or not I 9)

UTILIZATION

The handle is a real highway, one would walk with ease is a treat and this until the 24th case since the driver allows us to handle here ACCS ais treble at all times!
As for the weight of the guitar I would say it is standard, especially for a guitar of this form but it is true that as many guitars in extravagant forms she leans forward, compensating with a good strap on!
But it makes up for the fact that despite its form, the game is sitting ais whether in playing position type flying (right knee in the mid-points) or horizontally strat avecune good old form '! (Basically I rejected the forms and their discomfort sitting at stake here, no worries)
Small BMOL, sitting horizontally, you must carefully place the floyd to use it ...
Finally talk about the floyd, simple operation, it seems very robust and responds well, trs parameter it keeps well even after the agreement to nag my shots I just had a slightly move the jumpers after a week and WAS vriament yet to quibble!

SOUNDS

This guitar is well suited my style which is the metal in all these genres, but particularly the thrash / black, because the D Activator pickups have the power of assets but with the dynamics and precision of passive, high gain is to go you sustain as well as the palm-mutes and send potatoes without worries!
In dpart I tested the combo Valveking shop and I fell in love since I have I play on my twice Valveking body and with my GT8 branch of a combo Behringer shabby and in both cases it sounds! I lowered the gain around for a better balance when I won precision and sustain, what I expected ...
We can get a lot of sounds with it is versatile trs, already the clear sound is wonderful for me because gnreux in low but on micro easel can get a clear slamming carefree, microphones respond perfectly the attack of true happiness!
For distortion so is even, the good little riffs nags at rock riffs way up to see Coldplay (sub-gain) this machine is doing very well but obviously as its shape suggests the rock pushed and mtal are its strengths (but still clean trs trs beautiful!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for just over two weeks and I do not really regret this purchase, I found my guitar for a long time and I see her come with me a long time because it is full of resources!
I love the aesthetics, the form such as painting Camaeleon unique and its a low gnreux prcis both powerful and
I have a jou LTD MH-400 (I should have to buy a place) and for me it does not compete, I jou on the high end as Gibson Les Paul Standard so I visualizes main points of a skyscraper, but precisely what its full of low precision and reminded me of the Les Paul so in the meantime I think I found my happiness!
The report qualitprix trs is good because these characteristics with floyd and microphones for the price is reasonable! In addition Ibanez offers the hard case with well made!

This choice I would do it every day;)
