Published on 07/17/11 at 05:18Manufactured in: Indonesia
Neck: Wizard II 3-piece maple with 22 frets (personal, I automatically put 24 frets)
Body: Mahogany
Bridge: ZR Tremolo type floyd (Floyd ibanez)
Micro Channel: INF1 Humbucker, replaced in 2010 by an EMG 85
Bridge Pickup: Humbucker INF2, replaced in 2010 by an EMG 81
Settings: a volume knob
tone (which I removed by passing under EMG lack of space in the cavity)
5-way switch (replaced by a 3-position requires EMG)
Hardware: Chrome
Finish: Weathered Black
UTILIZATION
The neck of this guitar is a real highway, ibanez neck forces, access to acute is a treat.
The guitar is very heavy due to the thickness of the body.
The absence of marks on the neck, except for two points on the 12th box can be confusing but are present on the edge of the handle, which compensates!
The failure that greatly facilitates my 2 knob turning on the machine, the sound is very easy to obtain.
SOUNDS
I play mainly metal (heavy, thrash, death) but also rock and this guitar lends itself very well!
The original neck pickup (INF1) as a bit messy distortion ', but defended himself well clean.
The original bridge pickup (INF2) lacked a bit of gloss in clean, but quite good in distortion ', the palm-mute was a happy, singing harmonics.
To overcome this lack I've changed to a pair of EMG 85/81, but be careful with this guitar, one must make sacrifices if you want to switch to active pickups, in fact, the trapping is not huge, and m'aquitter I have my tone knob to be able to place the battery. But now she really the sound of a chainsaw, the palm mute shook the walls of my apartment, artificial harmonics scream, fuck the bomb dives all.
I played on an amp Morris, an antiquity of 60W while transistors with 60 years of Boss ML2 and a Boss OD-1, and it sounded the thunder!
But it would sound even better on a dual-adjust to home Messa Boogie, but lack of means, I could not say what I said.
Sound level, this guitar has no weak
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two and a half years, I had tried other models before making my purchase (Ibanez RG, RGA, SA, SV, FR), but the RG, RGA and FR were heavier than the S320, and the SA and SV were less than face!
For its quality / price, this guitar deserves a 10 because I do not know style guitar with such a good sound and a beautiful face.
What I like about this guitar, everything!
I would do without hesitation that choice, except maybe for the S420, which owns the famous 24th box!
