Air_De_D2 « It's all good! »
Published on 10/24/07 at 07:29- Made in Japan
- Prestige Series
- Basswood body
- 24 Jumbo Frets
- Ibanez HSH Pickups: 2 Humbuckers V7 (neck), V8 (bridge) + 1 single S1 (middle)
- Pro Edge Floyd
- Volume knob and tone, micro switch 5 positions
- Manche Wizard II Prestige 5-piece walnut nut hangs on strings, pearl dot marker.
- Color Black Suede (Matte)
- Supplied in hard case Ibanez Prestige Team J. Craft
UTILIZATION
- The handle is a little wide and flat, a real highway.
- Access to acute is fabulous with the dimensions of the handle and chamfers.
- The shape is perfect, comfortable, you feel immediately at ease sitting as standing. The weight is easily tolerable for an instrument of this quality.
- The Floyd if he is nice with its low profile is also apparently very stable, it would like the agreement.
- Vacuum Sound is nice, it sounds not too bad, although it is fairly neutral (lime requires). Once connected you can feel quality microphones and sound very different (I love the clean sound of S1).
SOUNDS
I play mainly metal (heavy / trash), sometimes rock and hard rock.
With my little Peavey Blazer 158 15W sounds are not bad at all.
As we get clean Start tones type (V7), Telecaster (V7 + S1), the slamming of a beautiful stained reverb (S1) or snapping (V8). By fiddling a little amp settings all goes well with a special mention for the S1.
We go to the distortion with a Line6 Über Meta l, € 60 bought used: it is powerful, heavy crunch or more depending on the settings of this terrific machine metal! Good level of output for two humbuckers, a lot of grain. It screams (harmonics), it's hard, really good but it just lack of precision in heavy saturation (yes it's good but not Seymour Duncan eh ...).
* Edit * With Digitech RP350 multi effects, it gains in warmth and precision, it sends a lot. But we are not at all in the field of EMG for example, is less powerful, less surgery.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it since June and it is a real treat!
My favorite? Its form, the (s) sound (s), the handle (Râââââh lovely!), The superb Flight Case.
In terms of complaints:
the galley (question settings) at the start of Pro Edge Floyd, when you have not used it's weird ... * Edit *: after a while of use it can be done, and note that this is an excellent model, it is not even tune the nag.
the look a little too wise (the benchmark "shark teeth" and an aluminum pickguard like on the RG350 2550EX or I would have liked) * Edit * I added a pickguard Ibanez, the same as the 2550EX (70 €, not given Ibanez mister), it rips at look! (Photo required)
I tried a LAG Arkane AF-200, an Epiphone Les Paul Zakk Wylde, an LTD MH-400 NT and a Jackson Dinky DK2M and it is the Ibanez Strongly believes me the most, mainly because of his race so fine and versatility.
List price € 870.
I would do without hesitation that choice, except to take a higher-end Ibanez (random or RGT320Q the 2550EX), a really good guitar!
