I share the view of overall Myrapha on this guitar. A few details:

- I can not find it very lightly. Despite its appearance typical Ibanez RG, it accuses still quite a weight.
- I can not handle super comfortable. It is indeed slim. I can not find it tremendously wife's hand, however the game is tiring because you have to compensate for the "empty". But it seems there is a lot of amateurs, this type of profile. For it is against the mega strong. It is even difficult to twist it by pulling it.
- The level she wants versatile but is not that much. The humbucker is limited to rock, it does not have enough punch for harmonics and flirts with the metal or blues chubby. The neck pickup is very interesting, it's a very special, very clean, very slamming. The central micro, in my case, up is down because it hinders my attack mediator, and does not sound particular interest, as most microphones Central elsewhere. Split the humbucker is nice, but combine the microphones does not need an awful cacabouilla. on the other hand, each has its own micro switch on / off individually, and it's great, much stronger than a 5-position switch, and it offers multiple combinations (combinations that give a sound cacabouilla, I ' mentioned earlier). The single-coils have a lot of "hum", but I think age is not foreign to my model (1990).
- The vibrato is actually very sturdy, nothing to do with the licensed Floyd guitars and early modern mid-range gun that tuning the first time. He is good, small mechanical parts do not wear very little, especially threading, painting remains entrenched. This is a MIJ Takeushi.

It is generally a very solid guitar like you have never for a more affordable price, all items are very sturdy, the tuning is good and the electronics are reliable. Now I would not call the KC70-V Guitar "pro". But it's a good scratch following well, for sure, and is now at a ridiculous price.

My model in 1990 and then sold for $ 649 U.S..
I sanded the table (the fuchsia glitter, blah blah ...), to show nice graining of wood. The body is in three parts, and could be of alder.
I replaced the humbucker with a Seymour Duncan SH4. One of my single-coils is almost dead (winding relaxed?), So I placed in the middle position I do not use.
Small switches tend to make unwanted noise, so I re-screened all around the cavity. Problem solved.
