It's a guitar made in Japan in 96 or 97 I think. Floyd type bridge (edge) blocker, then, but with a rod that is screwed on as strats ... (Ah?)
22 jumbo frets, 2 humbuckers and one single Ibanez, a selector 5 per A vomume, a tone, both very progressive and effective. Just a bit down the volume level to discover sounds softer or lower the tone to go into jazz ... to fall! I'm still boulversifié!
;-)

The handle, it is like wizard and he has evidence.
The body is, and that is its particularity, solid koa, a Hawaiian wood with a beautiful veining. The guitar is pretty light.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a delight as he is fine and fast, it's on, it is not for the blues, although I play sometimes srv top, but send it out without forcing. One can easily go up to the last boxes. The body is very thin and it makes the guitar very comfortable to play.
The fact that the body is the end makes Gitare lightest also. However, despite the fact that there is less wood in theory, it sounds heavy!



SOUNDS

For me this guitar is perfect because I was looking for something very versatile for sending big sounds. So I found what I was looking for.
The pickups are very effective and 5 positions can cover a wide range of sounds. We go from funky to very heavy easily. The neck pickup, it sounds pretty hot (I think), and sounds clear without any problem. Even in nickel is saturated.
Connected to a JVM 410H And I can even baffle 1936 to play jazz in a way bleuffante ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for about a month, I bought used because it is no longer manufactured. It is a fairly rare model is a bit old but runs perfectly.
Things are fine for what I want to do so we will say that this guitar suits me well.
Sounds are nice to me, it's light ... I do not think it qualities. plus I have not had for too much so I'm even more pleased.
Today these series are no longer manufactured in Korea ... or maybe or another, this is a japan model and we see the difference.
A remake that choice it would without hesitation, moreover, if I find one I bought second in relief.
I also have a luthier guitars and even if you can not really cosponsored these instruments between them I would say it sound like the comparison anyway.
A good guitar. (For me) but it may not suit everyone ...
