«  great guitar very good base Japan »

EAGLE this guitar I bought in Pigalle on the advice of a friend in 1981
and frankly I'm not disappointed
I completely customized but the alder body and maple neck it sounds!
She is now 26 years old and I'm still a fan! even after playing other instruments more rewarding ...
made in Japan Ibanez plants at the time, we feel the made in Japan

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice and has not changed since that time
varnish the handle is nickel and it is a pure pleasure to rise and fall
the guitar is a bit heavy but hey it is a guarantee of quality and sound!
vibrato was also changed to Wilkinson and sustain are won highly

SOUNDS

I turned the original pickups (very good by the way) to replace Di Marzio
2 hambucker and simple config MSM with a micro switch single / double plus a switch phase / out of phase
it really is the best!
all on one amp lamp is great Dire Straits sound is really there ...
With a lamp amp distortion is flexible and is slamming her clean

OVERALL OPINION

I play from a year 30aine above (yes .... not so young) but the fun is still there and it is the main for me
the strong point of this guitar is the ease of obtaining a sound that suits you as well as modulate your convenience
The alder body has much to do in my opinion ...
guitar easily "customizable" on mechanical, microphones, vibrato (except the wiring I have done it by a luthier)
