Today we will talk about a (almost) old lady! The famous Ibanez signing Andy drawbars, I was looking for a long time, finally fell in my hands after a looooong trip!
To begin with, there are several models môssieur signature:
- AT 200: same model, but with less caracs (I think this product)
- AT 300: one we will talk (this product, stop 2007)
- AT 100: original model with the plate and maple neck (two editions, a late 90's (model 99 ultra sought by fans) and reprints of some 3,000 bales today ...)
Andy uses mainly AT100, AT300 and sometimes (the 100 has a much clearer sound very Brighty while the 300 sounds good fat). All that to say that no, you do not sound an alarm as the Master even if you scratch in the same hands. This requires ca mesas (lonestar special stiletto stereo, bb preamp and full effects) and especially his fingers are experience blablabla ...
Good clarification made, you can go! Model made in Japan, well finished (after 6 years I do not see fault!), Very similar to the series Sabres and well designed. Mahogany is felt (as on the shoulders in the ears), and the set is excellent pickups (bridge Cruiser and di marzio custom at1) despite a very low output signal (compared to my other guitars ca not send the all, I have all my settings rempenser!), all controlled by two volumes (bridge and single) plus a tone (reactive!) and a 5-way switch (I would have liked a little more accessible, it is behind one volume knob take the shot). Point that I did not enjoy the Wilkinson vibrato: a strat can type with one hand and vintage "hulk" I have not hooked to the touch (bar too thin, too "hard" for me, I 'm too accustomed to Wilkinson petrucci). Strong mechanical wraps, ca is great on this side of the RAS.
The handle end is kind of like my RG (phew!), ca is very close to a strat! I also found narrower (as less illusion ends?) and really boooo, the oysters are nice! The 22 boxes are adequate and easily accessible ...
It is well made (made in Japan), well equipped and most well designed, everything is consistent ... I put 8 (one remains in a range of mid-priced, this could be better but the budget explode!)
UTILIZATION
The handle ... Surprisingly, not like the ones I know from Ibanez, it is very pleasant to the touch! this is a good point, I was afraid of this part. It feels good top and bottom!
Ergonomics impeccable, ca plays superbly standing as seated balanced guitar that does not sting the nose, forearm does not suffer (thank you SA form!) ... nothing to complain!
Without access to acute bp ca remains an ibanez!
RAS the above, I put 9 because it is a pleasure to play, despite a vicious weight (it looks like not seeing my back but sometimes after a protest Repette full upright!)
SOUNDS
Interesting chapter! I play direct sound (AVALON U5 DI box with some pedals, or a caiman Laboga (tested also on Fender all-tube). I play funk, jazz funk (herbie hancock), blues, rock and small of hard.
We will lens in fat, without going into the aggressive (hair metal fans, go your way!)
In clean is booooo! The bridge without being garish bites (rare), the handle has only typical strat sound, intermediate positions come straight baccarat! It was a kind of strat but with a more bold, more hot ... it's really interesting!
With a little crunch (or BB preamp gain low on lamps), claps (U.S. strat deluxe made my mouth in his case). They are always very clear, but with a little fat around that bubble ... this is superb
In saturax, do not abuse it! No prob for rock, hard metal, but I have not even tried! Mic bridge biting well, we sound a bit thick, warm, very musical. I am not using the three intermediate positions, and finally the handle: very good answer, not its honeycomb solos keep coming, we feel like stopping! I really enjoys playing, and unlike my other guitars, I use a lot of knobs that modulate its really as I want!
Note the very good sustain, I was not familiar with either Ibanez!
In short, the concept of this guitar is very good. It is the idea of the sound of Andy, sounds a bit fat strat that I like!
9, perfection does not exist, but beyond the sound quality, it is the spirit of the guitar that I love! It does not send the wood, so we can work on her more thoroughly, and the result is better (I now struggling to play anything, even musicman petrucci I loved taking dust. ..)
OVERALL OPINION
Two months ago, the beginning of a long story: D
I played a lot of guitars, I had the chance to pay me owls, but this one is special ... Bought without trying, j'la wanted!! No stupid pink cloud, no thunderbolt ridiculous, but just a respect for the spirit of this guitar ... I'm not disappointed!
most:
- Sound
- Fun to play, not horrible end sleeve
- Sustain
- The must, in mind, the concept of this guitar
Cons:
- Vibrato means I not hooked I'll try to find a solution!
- More produced so hard to find one, I really struggled!
The value for money is cool, € 1300 when she dethroned my musicman, it's cheap paid (and it is signed by the Master!). I'll have to make that choice much earlier, but it's not so bad, now I'm thrilled! the holy grail I found the guitar, missing the amp
I put for the first time a 10, something I've never done because perfection does not exist. It is true that an objective point of view, ca is 8 because it is improvable. AT 300 but with this, I found what I was looking for, and I have no desire to go to my favorite store to compulsive buyer. Something new, so exceptional rating: =) it can be pleased not to others (strong character), but I've finally found my shovel perfect
