Made in Jap. (That is the S5470Q-RBB ....). Vibrato clean model with locking bearings. Micro H / S / H. , IBZ/HG/D1 handle. Single coil middle IBZT2. Bridge IBZ / HG / D2. Channel Wizard 24 breaks with silet lock. Table / mahogany / quilted maple veneer Sunburst. settings 5 ​​positions ... normal ...

UTILIZATION

Channel target (4) is the Wizard / IBANEZ with the quality that we are entitled to expect! no surprise again and again of the IBANEZ!. added a vibrato rare precision probably one of the best (like the handle, it is even more present). She is not afraid "crank." The bearings as this is what we do best with these adjustment knobs. Now we can not have everything, editing strings require the application and some mastery. And my God, if you break a string, it is changed. With locks holding agreement is something! Once having chosen his tie, adjusted his agreement, an agreement that's all.
Ergonomics-top is characteristic of this brand, very light ... ERGONOMICS! COMFORT! COMFORT AND MORE! designed for increased remarkably over the past focused frett (2 more than most of this type), thus some claim it lacks a bit of wood and legato shreed? I really found nothing alarming and the "sustain" either (I do not need 30 seconds "lol", I have come down to "good"? vacuum roundness was indeed present .. . p'etre that RBB 600 E '+ are + expensive + neat and efficient).
Complicity-general immediately appealed, I was left with an intent to purchase a SRTAT 'mine 35 years old will be kept but the handle is to change this ... 5740, I had already spotted store and tried once. Later I am knowledgeable about the "critical", its "profile" and of course at the sound H / S / H "everything you need, the Clean, Crunch and OV 'Needless steep. Of" s 'dwell'.

SOUNDS

- Crystalline ... ... fat ... it's not quite a "FENDER" without blagues.C is a IBANEZ / mahogany / maple and party fulfills its role very good marriage! very versatile, testing near keen on jazz was surprised and delighted that register, he remained silent! . And of course from this "starts" it proves formidable in Rock. If it provides vintage unreservedly with this little tip in extra modernity has this key to register / Rock 90'S 2000 'til today ... And thanks to these mics and some additives can "harden until the metal. " But not heavy, it is not a "Métaleuse" far from it! luckily for me but to the "muscle". For blues it is to go with the rock. It is on these two records that I made the most critical and the micro / environment is very personal. And! I remember, even though it is a "IBANEZ" metal is not it # 1 specialty. amps can be VOX MARSHALL and "you'll see. But FENDER and "neutrality" of the PEAVEY.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for a peti'moment and yes I have tried other models but most of the IBANEZ.
-Very nice, Presentation and exceptional finish. With a little back no regrets. For the less I do not really see the criticisms that can be attributed to him. But as always know your need and expectation! try ... try it again rather than take time to change the pickups in "stride". The price? 1780th 'fully justified (This is the RBB' Regal / Brown / Burst "sublime" even 2000E 'I would have taken.) And SVP sold with hardcase especially as the seller gave me a little gesture.
Now, in "IBANEZ" it is a "indesciptible messy." So type scraped ', they change so often models, we did get confused, one is tempted to "throw in the towel" and go elsewhere (not sure it plays in their favor). Without wanting to give advice, it starts to 250E 'to finish at 3800 ... there is a "catch" ... Maybe "FENDER" made the right choice with its Mexican and especially in creating "SQUIER (also excellent) "we can see more clearly, (also with Gibson Epiphone, alas that teaches ex 'big / 50/60S the U.S. has eaten hot with relocation.).
-Too many "versions" too many custom / signatures, explanations and insufficient applications and recommended prices for each model.
