Everything is already said ...

UTILIZATION

Channel fast, flat back, very flat table.
Easy access to acute, with nothing exeptional either (compared to an SG ...)
Ibanez classic shape home, comfortable and light, I am not disappointed.
Its level, the pots are not very accurate. it would have deserved a more knob volume (1 for neck pickup and bridge, 1 for the station).

The vibrato fat10 is a pain ...
As I set very hard and never use!
Set to float, the bends are harder to obtenire must push them to death, we see the bridge rise up!

SOUNDS

Focused HardRock / Metal, both in clean only disto.
I use a Zoom G2.1u, a Behringer GM108 or headphones.
Level sounds, the pickups are distinguished very well. The neck pickup is very serious, very Polivalente the central and the bridge very acute.
I would say that for clean sounds, a central mix with the other two the better.
By distortion, two types of settings:
Rhythm-well bourrines: Neck pickup (+ Central to side sound)
-Solo: Bridge pickup alone, it helps out the artificial harmonics effortlessly;)

in the whole, the sound is very neutral, I like the fact, and the models are not denatured and settings with sound effects very Simplified.

sound is obtained crystalline type stratum, and in distos, sounds bold: versatile.

Compare that with a replica Jackson (2 pickups single, double) and an Epiphone SG

OVERALL OPINION

Compare that with a replica Jackson (2 pickups single, double) and an Epiphone SG.

The neck is fast, simple to play, easy to be sure to stroll over.
After a Les Paul, a replica of Jackson and SG is the most versatile guitar I had.
... Value is not difficult to do better, knowing that the Ibanez!
This guitar is a gift, I will not buy personal, but now that I possess, I advise all beginners
