UTILIZATION

the guitar is light and very well balanced.

The neck is super nice, but it is a matter of taste. FYI, I have a RG Ultra JCustom handle a wizard sleeve RG7620 7, a SZ prestige. for me, the handle is very important dimensions are not important from the time the handle is good and pleasant it is the case of this one.

Access to acute is a RG difficult to do better.

Vibrato, it is quite critical on the web, this is the first personal I like this. I must say it fits perfectly the agreement so far, flexible to use. on the other hand it seems to be worse than edge pro invoice example, it will definitely have a shorter shelf life. The good news is that you can make an exchange standard with an Edge pro when he will be dead within 5 years.
Against by the guitar does not sustain extraordinary is its weak point for me, after this is a guitar with vibrato ....

in terms of finish, it is more than correct, it is a mere scratch so there is no special finishes as a binding, a maple table etc ...

Regarding the previous comment about the frets, with me finishing at the frets is very good.
I noticed that the cons by ibanez with a plastic binding tended to be unpleasant frets and "sharp".

SOUNDS

The pickups are excellent, the combination of these two Dimarzio works wonders, associated with a 5-way switch and a maple fingerboard, the resulting sound is rich and powerful and the sound palette is vast. I prefer this setup than my JC (Tone Zone - Blue Velvet - Air Norton)
D-Activator is very rich in harmonics, I highly recommend it.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall opinion very positive, although this guitar is not a prestige not to blush. Better vibrato based on reviews on the web would have been welcome, but for now I do not have to complain.

really scrapes the mouth with his head reverse keyed his red marks and torque humbucking simple. The guitar is super nice and sounds very good, only the sustain is a little off.

In conclusion, this guitar is a bargain for the price, I had to scratch that was worth 2 times and do not competed with it as anything ...
