Electric guitar solid body Ibanez brand in 1997, Made in Japan.
22 frets, HSH configuration with respect to the microphones.
Type of bridge is a floyd lo-TRS I.
Two knobs, one tone and one volume. 5-way switch.
The handle is supposed to be a Wizzard II, but I'm not sure.
fine anyway.

UTILIZATION

The handle oiled maple st, much like the strats.
For access to acute, no problems, we reach the 17th box without difficulty. (The rest must be forced a little, o)
Question weight, it does not weigh too heavy, but is silent as well mahogany! have about 3lbs? is a skyscraper trèèèèèèèès fine. the shape is a classic that has proven itself, we talk about it any more eh: o

SOUNDS

V1, an output level of good enough, sounding rather hot (hot-neutral).

S2, Accurate, good treble. its a bit muffled.

Tone zone; The output level is not high enough, the slamming not appear, the V1 but less satisfactory ... I think seymour ask if something is no longer Péchu.

Note that I do not play hardly saturated.

OVERALL OPINION

So I use this for now scratching less than a week.
I really like the configuration of microphones, which gives a good range of sounds, and contact with the wood directly, without varnish. I like a little less floyd who walk a little: s (I used to rely on the bridge of my Epiphone chtite).
I tried a lot of strats, a tele, an Ibanez RG, Ibanez s-a 470dxqm (something like that xD) epiphone better, but I admit that it is this that convinced me, especially by its handle and floyd.
I paid the scratches just under € 500, and I think it's a very good price.
with experience, I think I would do this choice. I was editing later to see if my enthusiasm has not influenced my opinion.
