« Ultra versatile, practical and surprising »
Published on 12/23/11 at 20:06I am fortunate to possder 2 Indeed, a "rcente" of 2007 and a "vintage" of 1993.
The 1993 is my main guitar live.
The '93 has a few Difference compared to today.
The handle is in one pice saddle and the key is a beautiful dark wood bne.
There is also a big polmique dtail on this, some argue that the old key with bne are better than the new key with rosewood.
Trs honntement, I hear absolutely no difference between the two.
But I agree with lovers bne because I do not understand that for a guitar so beautiful, a ct of basswood Ibanez covers in order to have a pure white, but on the other c t they ask the beautiful tree of life inlay on a rosewood button.
I am a designer and it dtail trs important that I find on this guitar, it sounds worse or better, I know I hear a diffrence, but as I find the tree of life on the beautiful bne very dark, as a key rosewood I think it's ugly limit.
Micro evo of the bridge have also changed it seems.
I read quite often that Steve Vai had to change the bridge humbucker because it was the output level too lev. O In the second version of the Evo 2 Humbucker in 2004.
Bin plutt is weird but comparing my two trs JEM is that it is the new net which has the largest potato-level sound. So does my old micro fatigus are, I do not know.
On micro I draw attention to a problem not emphasized enough in my opinion, it's HUGE Difference in output level between the humbucker and single coil. The diffrence is really important and not look like much is really a shame because can not switch between single / Humber in one piece without even Whereas a loss in volume.
Apart from these dtails are strictly same shovels. The sleeves have a feeling exactly the same (I do not think the '93 have a sticky finish more than the other as like the rumor).
The violin is no default, requires Fujigen quality, micro DiMarzio Evo trs are versatile and have a big, big potato trs, it can also violate the easel, np, ca agreement will remain properly !
UTILIZATION
It's not my Premire Ibanez and I quickly used to the handle trs flat, broad and typical end Ibanez.
It is enjoyable and trs dconcertant of easy to play solo, riff, etc. arpges.
For cons I take this opportunity to break up the legends "over the neck is thin and flat better" because it is as much a super enjoyable guitar solo by lead and, as if you ever need to do the rhythm / agreements prparez you morfler ..
With this scratch I start to understand the purpose of the sleeves composed radius.
The handle of the JEM is highly uncomfortable to play chords on Premire box, honest I sometimes have to accompany other guitarists and every time it is the horror I hurt all over hand in less than 30 seconds.
So that's something important trs Whereas before purchase.
But other than that, with the AANJ (all access neck joint) handle large cargo and hollow while the 21-24 is an orgasm vritable to play the high notes with such ease.
Level weight must mfier, it is not unlike the majority of basswood JEM and is therefore heavier she looks. My '93 is just over 3.4kg, which is of the same dj monsters away from Gibson.
I have some heavy guitars plutt with which I can not play standing up too long with my JEM no worries, I play 2 4 hours non stop.
If we have the fast knob volume constant of 10, where the saturation is natural adj microphones, one can get without too much problem trs a good sound.
SOUNDS
Well I'm not a huge fan of Steve Vai but when you have this guitar in the hands of a few hours it becomes clear that he'll be really done everything possible to get almost exactly the same sound as Steve Vai.
She really a characters own this guitar and Steve Vai really great exploit Russia.
So that's where you ask yourself the question again, yes we can really make this guitar with Steve Vai lol.
Then look despite its typical metal, one would expect good distortion but clean blah blah ... And yet ...
The clean sound of this guitar are just sublime and configuration of the switch allows a versatile excellent.
Position 1 and 5 was really a "full", full, rich, clean and hot typs Humbucker Gibson Les Paul (without really grain, evo is "cleaner", more "modern") and 2,3-4 and was this time sounds trs Fender Start, tantt bluesy, funky, bright well for the country ...
On mine I install a miniswicth that allows me to play only with split humbuckers (which you can not do under normal circumstances), and I really dynamic compression of a neck pickup of strato plans for the Gilmour or SRV, and sounds brilliant trs / pops when easel.
If this guitar is my main shovel in my group today is that I find very practical since it allows me to have tantt nice clean sound for arpges, sounds funky to the rhythm and big humbucker sound for distortion. It m'vite really take to have a Start and a Les Paul.
Please note I do not say it sounds better, nothing worth a grain of Gibson and the dynamics of a Fender, but the JEM is an excellent compromise to make the shovel scne without changing every 5 minutes .
There's really only one thing noise that I can blame this guitar is the lack of "grain" of distortion / crunch sound but hey it's clean and modern Ibanez.
OVERALL OPINION
I last year and played with all the RPTES / concerts since.
I had over 30 guitars in the hands of which 4 or 5 Ibanez and even if I prfre grain / personality the greater the Fender / Gibson I've always loved playing on the Ibanez sleeves.
JEM is truly my '93 I love my prfr jouabilit his neck for solos, the versatile sound, weight lightweight .. and of course her beauty!
For me its a round black spots are uncomfortable for the rhythm, not a personality but Submitted trs brand, the long and tedious rglages the floating bridge.
I had normment guitars and this one is by far the most convenient and most flexible of all. It's perfect my group or I have to play a large number of musical styles. It really is THE guitar to have at home when you love music gnral and therefore full of DIFFERENT kinds trs.
One last advice I give is to try to intresss ct of the OCCAZ and because international prices in France are absolutely outrageous compared to other countries .. I found my 1000th 1993 in Japan and I had the chance to go through customs charges ahahah.
