Made in Japan
24 frets, original ibanez pickups (IBZ V7, V8 and S1) in config H / S / H
floyd rose bridge edge
knob 1 volume, 1 tone knob (which acts on all microphones)
wizard sleeve superfine
UTILIZATION
I was looking for a good guitar, I tried a little while (in the range of prices "affordable") and I say live ibanez, they handle the best that exists (with perhaps the musicman van halen)
so I bought an ibanez wizard stick, it's a killer! super fun to play, a little larger than a stick of strata and super super fine. it is reinforced maple (with some sort of wood)
double cutaway this guitar, very well done, access to 24frette is very simple
usability issue, it's great fun to play standing or sitting, not very heavy, and the wood feels very good (it's "basswood" for the body, but since I am not specialist in wood I not know the French name), the guitar is balanced, it holds good
SOUNDS
The sound is compared to my old guitar, excellent, but the microphones used lack personality. it has neither a clear "strata" or a fat like PAF. I am dry so I'm not going to change, but when I have some money I will invest in one (or more?) Seymour Duncan or Di Marzio. but beware, it does not mean that the sound is bad, it is excellent for a guitar of this price (800 € with a new rigid flight case).
I use the guitar with a marshall vs-30r
one can have any type of sound with this guitar ... but more particularly of the METAL
OVERALL OPINION
I for 1 month
I love everything about this guitar
I chose it after trying a dozen different guitars brand is really the issue must gameplay and fun!
I found it a bit expensive for my taste, I did not spend that much, but I do not regret my purchase, well worth the money. Note that it is now rare to find since ibanez factory does more, it is replaced by the RG-1570 has a finish below (no reinforcement of the neck, floyd rose tremolo but NOT double lock tt similarly, no microphones around the plate ..).
