Guitar factory in Japan since 1987, who gave his Ibanez acclaim by atomizing the Jackson, Kramer and ESP for a price of only 6200 francs. It was the subject of a rdition in 2000 1200 euros still "made in Japan".

Characteristic:

basswood body
wizard reinforced maple neck with button for ultra fast game
floyd rose 3 edge (do not cut the balls!)
Ibanez V series pickups japan spcifique the 550.

the reputation of this guitar is no longer, so everything is thought for maximum efficiency largely because 10 is the best round I got under the fingers ...

USE

It is an ax guitar on rock and metal, but it can do much more, thanks to the warmth of his two doubles, one can easily have his greasy blues and even sound Strat in posistion 2 and 4!
The guitar is compact and lightweight, the maple key gives an ultra accuracy of all intonation can dvelopp all possible sets of techniques!

SONORITS

Microphones for "house" the two double fared very well. They have more than me and are more versatile than EMG HZ.
The neck pickup is round while remaining prcis.
The microphone is very central and allows rcuprer crystalline sounds of a fender
The acute micro for a passive micro really the cannons! heavy distortion and solo singing, there is a lot of sustain and edge.

NOTICE GLOBAL

It is no mystery if this guitar has become a "classic", it is not for nothing. Relative accuracy of all my Ibanez 2500 euros, I do not see the difference, apart from the maple table, microphones sound as good. The handle is even better. At 1200 euros new and made in japan, the price-quality ratio is completely crazy. An essential companion for any srieux guitarist.
