UTILIZATION

Channel Wizard super comfortable and very fine everything you need to shred at will
No balance problems rather light scratches
Pickup selector a bit hard
Floyd the best super nice to me between Vigier Marilyn Musicman Axis and there's no pictures

SOUNDS

At the time I directed style Metal, Guitar Hero (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai ...) Metal prog in this role it suited me perfectly with my Bandit 112S, the Marshall Valstate the studio to rehearse and Sovereign of the Engl teacher scratches Metal Zone + + multi effects Yamaha SPX: Mission accomplished
As against that sounds cold but warmer than a Vigier Marilyn anyway, she had a small side a little muddy in sound that could highlight a lack of precision and a dirty side especially in the solos
So I made him an upgrade it has got a Dimarzio Steve Special pickups on my idol then and there that Petrucci pulled over from the original conf, was also expected to put a Dimarzio Air Norton but I never had the Ocassion to do so I left the original microphone
By the middle against the microphone I did not like at all, I was transferred to the party and put a 3-position selector for that I needed a mirror plate and measure the time it was mission impossible

OVERALL OPINION

This was my third guitar and my second Ibanez and especially my first big scratches the second being a Les Paul, I bought it new in store for 6500 francs once the price / quality ratio is not terrible, but Here I fell in love and unfortunately it does not control
With the experience I remake this choice has been sold for at least emotionally because I spent five good years in his charming company and we can say it helped me tremendously in my growth
