All user reviews of 3/5 for the Ibanez EDR470EX

Made in Korea.

Floyd rose bridge imitation.

Channel motorway at yamaha, probably white wood maple, rosewood fingerboard.

22 frets, three microphones "EMG design" to act as if it was active at the forefront of technology, but ultimately it is passive high volume output (which is quite interesting actually).

A general volume, a general tone, a classic selector 5 positions.

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice yes, it's even more enjoyable that I could play it at home is fast, it slides alone, we do not force strikethrough, or for anything, really ibanez handle is remarkable.

ergonomics standard was the key word in the series, except for the fact that it is a bit heavy with his body weird polymer is a beast Compete in the matter.

good access to acute, without realizing we are already at the end of the handle.

Level, the position of the microphone associated with the selector can be about anything that happens, it is very versatile, with a large output level. To have a good sound, you also need a good amp behind, but the overall characteristic that emerges from the sound of this guitar is a little synthetic grain, a little typical electric guitar sounds years synthesizers ....

SOUNDS

at the time I played everything from brassens Rage against the machine, so his versatility has helped me and she reached out her mesh a lot of situations.

I played on a marshall MG100 to everything without much conviction, a Gretsch Electromatic where there can not be too much since we really happens with strong saturation a bit unpleasant, if it gives a plexi we quickly get a shredder competition, and an AC 15 does things but it is not too mind.

I liked for its synthetic side shredders are typical, but I went to other musical heaven once she expect in a closet a second life.

OVERALL OPINION

I used almost 3 years, the frets were quickly dug the blocks rope is worn out, I was forced to replace it with another, the floyd is also used, the knives are distorted, knobs began to crack.

It was my first electric guitar, a choit focused on versatility, but floyd was a bit complicated to manage.

I liked its modern side, facing the future, but today I criticized his lack of "vintage". Given the "damage," I intend to give it new life by blocking the floyd with a stopper (the clapton), and making a fretless (in the spirit of vigiers), but without much conviction, I will an edict if the result is good.

Manufacturing Core.
All features have been given extensively, so I will focus on the qualities and faults of this guitar.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very fine and pleasant but the whole is a matter of habit.
Access to acute is easy.
The ergonomics are excellent, but the beast is a bit heavy! A small amigrissement cure him would not hurt.
The sounds are good but we cast a wide net force becomes insignificant. I replaced the EMG EMG inactive by active (EMG 60 in neck, an EMG S in the center and an EMG 81 in bridge) EMG on board ... and believe me it dchire serious!

SOUNDS

The guitar in its original configuration (with micro inactive) be several types of guitar music very nice! With active pickups it has a lot of sound and can really guide the guitar hard rock and metal.
I use a Vox AD 60 VT (a Valvetronix modeling). The combination works well with trs always that weakness of the original inactive microphones. The range of sounds is there, but every sound is modest and it is a little hungry.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 2.5 years. It is a bit heavy but well balanced. In gray she looks great and it stays clean (no fingerprints). Its finish is excellent.
The Flyd is good but makes it somewhat difficult to replace the strings.
The strap locks must always be changed at the time of purchase (a little shock, and they break with the risk that the guitar falls down). Opt for Fender strap locks or Dunlop. If you have the means to change the pickups and replace them with EMG active. As reported by other users of the two knobs emits a crackling sound.
The quality / price is very good.
When to take the same choice ... I have a Fender Start Eric Clapton with active pickups like Noiseless ... is something else, but it's also another prize! I would do the same choices but only if the guitar had other microphones.
