All user reviews for the Ibanez S970CW

the thickness of 1 mm differs between series

Prestige finer
Premium: 1 mm
S 1 mm



small problem on one fret corrected by luthier from my store

UTILIZATION

great race,
ergonomics is top as usual

SOUNDS

The sound is very well set apart the middle pickup is really too bright, very different from what is usual on S, I love less
the guitar has a bit more sustain than the base S

I think the price difference is a bit too excessive
the feature has a great look and character but interresting S base are a much better value for money

the woods are very very class or back matter also mahogany

OVERALL OPINION

2 months

if I esssayé bcp other models before? so much, I love this series

what I like the most:
the S series in general, especially the ZR tremolo (floyd the original a little pity nearby)

on this particular model
the look and the behavior at the attack (great intonation);

Manufactured in Indonesia, ordered in March, delivered in June,  reinforced titanium Wizard neck, Ibanez Premium pearl dot inlay, walnut top (nice) on an African Mahogany body, Classic Series S 24 jumbo frets, binding on the handle and bracket, ZR2 bridge with ZPS3 system, black chrome hardware, Ibanez pickups, 2 hum, 1 single, 5-way switch (S What a series!)

UTILIZATION

neck is decent, it seems a little thicker (not wider) than my other sets S, differences are not a big deal, the weight is relatively light,

SOUNDS

I play rock / pop / metal / hard, it is working very well, the guitar is plugged into a Boss GTP Pro, then in power amp Marshall 9200, and finally Marshall cabinet JCM 900 reclablé

OVERALL OPINION

3 days since the purchase, before I had a S540FM BMVA, S540FM then, what I love, light weight, the thin, because the body is not really thick (I also play on Ibanez JS) but a big con this model, this one is equipped with non-slip rubber knobs, but slightly bigger than conventional knobs causing my picking hand to stop on the volume knob, turning it and lowering the volume, a correction of my playing style is going to be necessary, too bad that after 25 years of playing I have to change that!
