Value For Money : Excellent
This is a "low end" Ibanez Cort factory in factories in Indonesia
His body is indescribable on mine (because the former are alder and news Agathis)
The pickups are original Powersound (MSM)
The handle is a 22 frets and a pitch of 25.5 '.
There are only two knobs (volume and tone)
So it ibanez the handle end is
Ibanez vibrato Fat 10 (Wilkinson type)
I have my version in matte gray (very nice by the way) and I can say that the varnish is not high quality as the place where I put my arm became brighter (this gives it charm has the guitar)

I put 8 to pickups (especially bridge that is not powerful enough)

UTILIZATION

So the neck is not too bad, but in retrospect, way too late, it's not what I prfre but it is of the same fun.
trs is not heavy ... and not sound too bad my empty time ... for a skyscraper in this range

SOUNDS

I play mainly Trash / Death / Black so I switched the mics to get more gain.
Once the set EMG81 bridge it sounds wicked is not bad at all.
for now I use it with a Vamp Pro -> PA, A tubeman -> Power Driver -> Cry Baby -> PA, or a Laney amp ch'ti HCM15R (I think it is the REFERENCE good)
crystalline sound is not too ca. but it can still do more than clean sounds correct.
But nothing has Disto y'as nickel is wrong ... I tried it on different amps and ca do

but the change of microphones needed ... (I put a 7 because of it)

OVERALL OPINION

I have for over a year.
its strong point is the handle and weight that are good
the weakest of the pickups origin.
I tried a few and Cort Squier but I did not so much.
qualitprix the report is good, do not complain.
I keep it in second scratch since now I have an ESP EC-1000
I would do this choice

This skyscraper has experienced some changes recently ... It is under "customization so to speak ...
His new tune is in B (with Ernie Ball 12-56), it does dpourvue microphones useless (the Neck and the central, Micros Powersound no personality and therefore has a EMG81 in Bridge.
So it is no more slcteur microphones. And 2 holes instead of two old microphones (which is ugly, so I'm trying to make a custom pickguard in aluminum, which will be nice), I left a volume and a Tone.
The nut is plastic but more bone and the inscription "GIO" above the head of Ibanez Has clears. It also has Dunlop Strap Lock to avoid any falls during concert.

I dplacerait to a notice on an Ibanez GRX Sorgen Custom ds the end of the modification with photos ...
