Value For Money :
Excellent
Made in Japan (my model is from 2003)
Channel 24 cases jumbo frets, 2 humbuckers and 1 single.
Ibanez Edge Pro tremolo (floyd type)
Controls: 1 volume and tone
Bolt "Wizard prestige" extra fine.
UTILIZATION
I want to say that I note my 2003 model as I tried the same model versions 2004 and 2007 and I never found the same feeling or the same as a violin.
The Neck: Very comfortable, very end, access to the latest boxes without any problems.
I tried a lot of good guitars (ESP, Jackson, PRS, Fender, Gibson, but ....)
none for me a handle as comfortable as my Ibanez.
The Weight: Not super light but not very heavy either. A good balance.
SOUNDS
Although basically this guitar is especially designed for heavy rock and metal, it is very versatile when you consider playing with the pickups and tone knob. Can
even play Blues, Funk etc. ....
The pickups are of good quality. Made by Dimarzio for Ibanez prestige series.
For over 5 years that I use this guitar and I have not felt the need to change the microphone while I have changed on most of my other guitars.
So all in all a good versatile sound even if it is better for the big sound (for example the funk it's better with a stratum).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it extensively for over 5 years and it's really the type of guitar that is best for me. I like the look both simple and modern, I love the ergonomics of the handle
and I like its sound possibilities.
Remember it's a Floyd guitar (a little hassle to be paid when changing strings).
The value for money is good although I find that the new models (from 2004) has lowered the overall quality (lower quality wood, finish and inferior profile of different race).
