UTILIZATION

Like I said in the title is a very balanced guitar.

The finish is good, except for me the string stopper who looks below the rest, shame!

Its design is a great Fender.

Whether in terms of weight, maneuverability and games, it gives me a reference in the genre. You feel very at ease quickly seated or even standing.

The handle is shaped rather "round" and for me the chords are easy to install but are better anyway. And the solos are easy to make too but once again is better!
Say it is a story of compromise is often the game is easier in agreement either solo or in earnest, both well balanced.

Regarding the game at the right hand, I am sorry (but probably my fault) that the volume knob is as close as gradually as it happens unintentionally to fall ... Good is also the same problem on other guitars!

on the other hand at the vibrato once the strings are in place, you can go merrily on, they go out of tune! For his part

SOUNDS

, well I would say Rebelote guitar = balanced balanced sound.

The neck pickup is warm without being either a reference type and microphone treble do not break the ears ... They are powerful but not too much.
So in his "clear" as its "saturated", the character of this guitar fits very well with all types of gear and covers all styles of music without a problem!
But if you are looking for a type (Trash Metal, Rhythm 'n Blues, etc.) go your way ... this guitar is not for you.

on the other hand, depending on the famous "High Pass Filter can be activated by switching the volume knob works fine ... nature sounds at low volume is indeed conserved, it works and it's not a gimmick more!

OVERALL OPINION

After 2 years of use, I am satisfied and I do not part with that for another of the same series.

The quality / price was perfect for me in 2008 but at the time of writing this review we do affects more than a minimum of 1800 €, it becomes in my opinion a bit too much for this guitar ... but it still remains one of the best productions of the brand Ibanez.
