UTILIZATION

The Ibanez RG Mikro is your basic super-strat type guitar, only smaller! This guitar is easy to set up and play, which I find to be the most important attributes in a beginner or kid's guitar. If a guitar is hard to play, kids will not enjoy playing, so they won't pick it up and do it. This guitar can be set up to get very good, playable action on all frets. 24 frets is also a really nice feature in a small-scale axe.

The fit an finish weren't spot on perfect, but this is a beginner-grade student instrument, and it was absolutely good enough for my tastes at this price point.

SOUNDS

The guitar sounds pretty good through anything, clean or distorted. It can get all the requisite metal and rock tones that is expected by the Ibanez RG name, but can get other tones as well. For the price point and targeted market, it sounds pretty good. There is not as much warmth on the neck pickup as on full-size RGs, but that can be expected with the shorter scale. The pickup must sit closer to the bridge at this scale, and therefore can't get as warm - it's simple physics. It sounds different enough from the bridge pickup, so I'm not counting off for that.

OVERALL OPINION

As an adult, I like the fact that the guitar is a good travel size. As a teacher, I like that Ibanez makes a smaller 24-fret RG for kid's hands. RGs have always been some of my favorite guitars, and I'm glad that Ibanez is thinking of the guitarists of tomorrow with this product. It's definitely a first guitar, but it's better than most people's first guitar was, so in my mind, this axe is a winner.

China ...
It's a funny guitar called the trip, she has a handle 24 cases a short scale and profile RG, the bridge is fixed, it have two micro double, 3 position selector, volume and tonalitée, Simple and functional!

UTILIZATION

The handle is in the spirit ibanez, easy and functional access to the treble is very easy, the interface is terrible, you just get the small size of the machine.
In against part, it did inconveniant two major holding of his agreement (the original mechanical aproximation over the short scale = no way to give!) And the sound ... are these micro sucks, period!
Clearly, only the violin is well!

SOUNDS

For this guitar is special, I was not looking for a guitar in particular, but a "model" to travel alone with an instrument that can take hits.
I use a Danelectro mini amp Honeytone but the assembly of micro home is definitely wrong!

OVERALL OPINION

The original guitar but have no interest against, given the very decent level of violin, a guitar is a change into a super skyscraper travel. For me, a game mechanic in an oil bath (approx 20 euros) and a pair of micro Di Marzio pettrucci of OCCAZ (100euros on ebay) and this skyscraper as a sound in his violin!
For the final note, I therefore takes into account these changes, which in my opinion are essential for this thing becomes a real good guitar but these small changes concern the price of 170euros a 300, see it!

Made in China ... What a stink? At that price should not be the tonn ...
Trs trs short pitch, Magris 24 frets.
Two humbuckers.
Fixed bridge.
3 position selector, two pots, volume, tone.
Channel ... Wooden DSOL I know no more.

UTILIZATION

As for the handle, mama mia, it's the cream. Trs comfortable, we go up and down on the handle of the 1st 24me in a split second with precision.
As I said before, go down the box 24me very easy and prcisement.
Plutt good balance, and lightness any evidence. With lowercase a. A guitar in your pocket.
As for sound, it's respectable that price especially the distortion. In clean, it's not too a. Plutt axis rock mtal, but with good effects, you can play everything (blues, funk ...)/

SOUNDS

I play all over, even if it is scratched plutt axemtal. Personally, I'm trs ax blues and hard rock, so a little goes prs.
I play on a small 15W amp salon, and various effects from wha-wha overdrive through the chorus. It accepts any little prs.
The sound is fat enough, not really clean, but the amount of good microphones, a password.
It is wonderful to distortion and overdrive for good riffs and furious pousss. In clean it again ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have for some months, and I immediately t sduit the ease of playing, the pickups stink the runs, but just to get others, is well worth the sentence.
I have also a Les Paul piphone spcial is the day and night playing comfort ct ..
The report qualitprix is ​​downright good. I like playing on the scraper, it is frankly the road, overall.
Bah oh yeah the price for this has worth.
