This guitar was manufactured in Japan t and t are also inspected. It has 22 frets, which means that it will have many "bender" the ropes to finish a solo Mi .. the two microphones are quality factory correct, it really gives the handle a round and warm, that of the bridge ct drooling a little. Speaking of bridge is the latest ZR Edge team is that this guitar! It is a little hard to handle beginners, but if you enlve bar deuxime block under the hood is a rgal sound and flexibility. There are two buttons rglages: Volume and Tone (Conventional), with a microphone slecteur 3 positions: each micro double and two singles.

UTILIZATION

The handle is like Wizard, who is well known, is the Excalibur of Ibanez! Quick and easy play in the program: bends ISSA Access in acute also. The guitar is all the more lgre that its shape is practical and comfortable fit I've never had any problem, either standing or sitting. Diffrent pallet of sounds are enjoyable to explore, but it remains nanmoins in a good guitar rock.

SOUNDS

This guitar suits me perfectly, also I love playing jazz or blues or even some music in her clear, and this makes it just as well. I play on my little 10W amp Drive (can), with an old Boss pedals MT2, sometimes a crybaby wah-wah. I, however, there is little chang bridge pickup, really runny, with a DiMarzio Evolution: ... nothing to see ... a sound and well thought rock! I love the sound of solo neck pickup when the sweep is in the treble, or legato: it prcis and round. In the bass, the bridge pickup is trs INTERESTED to its harmonics. However, the micro factory is in the high times pnible.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this guitar for the 2007 t, and I really do not t's: just LGREMENT dconcert the draft of the bridge pickup.
There is nothing wrong and will never be on the Ibanez S SERIES: lightweight but strong body, comfortable, with a sound that rsons nanmoins.
Ditto for the handle: ergonomic, fast, ...
S520ex I love this for its looks, its construction as mentioned above. The colors are simple and pretty (except red).
I used to be a SERIES of Ibanez RG, heavier but excellent, I also test an old Jackson, really more metal type, but in the end that had the look. My guitar was a Samick Premire SG, low-end ... of all, the S keeps my preferences.
I paid the 780 era, NEW, and I do not regret this purchase srement, qualitprix the report does not even doing, but plutt qualitplaisir / comfort / flown lyric ... sorry I get carried away.
"I would do srement that choice." AudioFanzine to quote.
