So I possde the MODEL Coren (mtallique gray like the picture).

The shape is similar to other models of the Ibanez S SERIES (lol I love), a Zero Resistance tremolo, 22 frets bne handle, otherwise the MODEL CHARACTERISTICS of cor t have dja amaurythewarrior given by ^ ^.

The only "ngatif" is probably at the level of pickups: 2 humbuckers Ibanez INF1 and INF2 (the store told me that there was an active electronics, but does not damn me whether there was a stack or not, or its location)

UTILIZATION

The neck is an Ibanez, trs end, and I think it's perfect.
Access to acute is relatively easy.
I'm a fan of the shape of S SERIES, so it suits me quite, and I find it quite Legris, 5 hours of repeated 'standing going well ^ ^ trs.
Many people are not convinced by the pink floyd, personally, the Zero Resistance Ibanez is much simpler than other rgler.
The sound is not hard to find and TRS I find good (to have a true change rvolution scratch because before switching amplifier, the sound does not really connevait me, but this guitar help let me just change the amp to have sound even better rather than my old amp to balance out the window lol)

SOUNDS

So I jou many nomtal, rock rather heavy, so it suits me that, but given its form (and the beautiful marking of "claw" the 12th case) is not expected trs to have a versatile guitar between his plain mains.Le passes of the same well, but with a big distortion '(I played with a Line 6 Uber metal), it sends nothing really to say this cot although the mics I lower the same notes when.

So I used an Ibanez before TB100H tone blaster, which did not suit me at all, especially with my first scraper (Yamaha Pacifica 112 ... lol), but this guitar has going dja mieu. In distortion ', I used a line 6 uber metal, therefore clean, sound n'tait not too bad (thanks the S520) but distortion' j'tais thrilled.

I now jou Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier 3 channel, so I get a little sound I DSIR (when I get the rgler lol) and my directory is a bit more complete, the amp allows me a better versatility, even with this guitar.
So thanks this, note that I put in the sound is better Whereas, because I think the sound is now parfait.Dsol if some find this note just abuse because it is due just as the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months, I really love her look, I flash it, a little aggressive, without being too either (it is far from a BC rich ^ ^) I love the sound it has (even more since the rest of the stuff below). I will say that I do not like is the limit guitarist who uses it ^ ^, otherwise, everything else is perfect for me.

So I started on a yamaha pacified 112 (no comment ...), there is no comparison I had had enough of this guitar before switching, I tried many MODELS, not a little (I did not jou just 3 minutes from scratch and then chose). I tried a lot of Ibanez: S470 (quite similar to me), RG321 (too simple fixed bridge and above), IC400 (I love the shape, but too many people take it just because Daron (of DICO) the same, and I wanted no one thinks of me lol, also the bridge is fixed, and it is a bit heavy), etc.. A gibson SG (sound perfect, but I found the handle too pais, and the bridge was too high and gnait me to play).
I tried the S520EX because I find her look trs catchy, and it was love at first sight, the report qualitprix trs is good given the quality of the guitar and the ZR tremolo.
Apart from the pickups that make me so lower the note, I find it perfect but against, with more of experience, if c'tait choice again, I will not wait so long before the buy ^ ^.
