UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, a highway ...
Access to acute and easily facilitated by the heel section.
Very good ergonomics, balanced guitar.
Personally, I plug in my head Peavey ValveKing and I get a sound that I love including my old marshall.

After you need to know is that for people accustomed to active pickups or EMG pickups type with great level of output it will be quite different. The virtual paf humbucker from hell and are microphones with low output level (from class vintage Dimarzio).

The piezo sounds great.

It is also possible to mix the piezo and magnetic pickups and put the guitar doubled in stereo (one side piezo and one magnetic).

SOUNDS

This guitar is well suited to my style of music and my game which is essentially to go back and legato.

I use Dimarzio cables, and basically any lamp head Peavey ValveKing and 4x12 cabinet.

Guitar very versatile. Outside the neck pickup and bridge position, I confess to a weakness for the position of the split bridge pickup that I love mainly blues with little gain (for that I just drop the volume).

Which is great as well and that is generally in Ibanez guitars is that when we lower the volume we loses almost no fever and we get a little crunch to see a clear sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years.

I had different guitar before buying it with a dean dime dimebag darrell signature o flame, an SG, an Ibanez and I tried other models flying V type, ESP, Les Paul.

Value for money 9.5 / 10 as any signature model there is a price margin for the "signature" gift but not if I had to redo what I choose it again eyes closed.
