Hi,
First of all, this guitar is team of two single coils and a double in the bridge position
Floating tremolo Ibanez
volume and tonalitbr /> 5-way switch
handle end and a little rounded off the full length ... regale the

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs pleasant and all notes are available
The beautiful is the point of view ergonomics, trs well supplied:
Spacious-cutting at the rear of the corp,
Table-bomb
Trslgre-guitar,
One little tiny default it can slide forward if we do not blunder (also found on the series js)
We get the right sound easy (just have your fingers to make the beast roar and sometimes are not even need that lol)

SOUNDS

I play with all the scratches ... rock to hard to trash a Boss OS-2 and the result means especially with a tube amp but even on Lampl transistor, the grain is trsgnreux microphones. Apart from a simple soufflemant on simple, which incidentally does not matter because the simple intending to sound more clear than in saturated and clear sound it produces no blowing. all times are a simple change if the level and quality of the ear of Gitari increases. for this change I think the DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan remplassants are worthy of this guitar that begs to be grown in large saturation.
On this point we can say that 160 complies with its name, let me explain: the saturation literally sing the notes scroll with remarkable accuracy for such a price.
Be told that this does not scratch the expressions in a guitar: we hear that crap sometimes lol!
On the other hand, this guitar can any good come out of accobaties simpa '
It can also sound very much quieter in registers such as the blues, but are not chosen field.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried bcp other models before buying and Crelle the only one who has that price lbr /> can offer this level of finisher
What I LIKED LEAST:
-The whistle of simple but must not make a fuss
What I LOVE THE MOST:
-Snapping sounds
-Handle
The weight-
It versatilitbr /> Try shaking your comblbr /> ps: put the drop in D you tell me the news
And do not forget: "LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO PLAY ON scratched MERDE3

-2 Knobs, 5-way switch

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs-end style ibanez
CASC-in acute right
Trslgre-guitar, balance, it does not move a weight when the lche

SOUNDS

I find it lacks potato (not serious enough) to mtal for style iced earth.Je only uses the bridge pickup as the two agree very simple not a distortion. In contrast to clean these two microphones are simply enjoyable.
I played on a mg100dfx and makes pretty good, the good palm mute are easily obtained a good distortion that hard though. In clean through against it is better to not use the microwave if Garre ears.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year
I love the weight is really enjoyable to play.
- Report quality discount I'd pay 400euros new
I would not make that choice because I want a guitar only typical metal. But I get a good sound out all of the same.

- Production of Core if I remember correctly (the MODEL is apparently built, so impossible to find accurate information on the site)

- 22 frets, 2 single pickups, one humbucker

- SETTING THE volume and tonality of micro slecteur 5 points

Regarding the type of bridge and neck, it's not a point that I regard prt, so I can not tell you, but in this price range, it is not points they mainly look.

This guitar is complte, meaningless, everything is level features. It might just regret the absence of 24frets, nothing serious!

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable trs: Ibanez forces, but we like it or not sr, I love it!

Access in acute is good, as the weight, shape, mechanical, nothing wrong, the finish is excellent, which is a good trs in this price range.

"Gets it easy to sound good ?"... There have been good sounds easy, and slecteur 5 points can play a wide range of sounds, still a good place for this guitar.

SOUNDS

It hurts the bottom that must be well-sr perspective, we speak well of a 400 guitar!

In short: do not expect miracles from this guitar, you might say normal. But even when I expected a little better at the microphones.

I use an ME-50, and for now a little 15W amp Squier.

I play mainly Metal: Death, Black, Power, Heavy and others.

And that's the concern the: If this guitar provides a wide range of sounds trs correct, if there is one area in which it s'avre ineffective, the Metal.
Sr Although you can get a big sound on the bridge humbucker with distortion grows back, but losing much in precision. However, for beginners, it can be satisfied.

However, the micro neck is thrown: the highs are not fabulous, and if only one goes down a little on the low strings, it's a disaster. Too bad.

The guitar makes up for its clear, even if I play a lot on the ME-50 compressor for a more powerful, because the microphones are severely lacking.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ending for two years, I had no trouble with.

What I like most: ergonomics, versatility.
What I like least: Well, the versatility too! As they say: "Touch all, nothing good"

Mistake on my part, I had not tried many other models before (if not my guitar ... Premire)

But it must be nuanced: the report qualitprix is ​​excellent, sr this guitar does not fit too well what I'm playing and looking like her, and lacks a little personality of a ct, he There's nothing wrong.
If c'tait again, I will seek a srement other models, with a notammenet humbucker in the neck position.

Conclusion: This guitar should a beginners' confirmquot, seeking a good guitar cheaply, and if I deprecated those who play plutt of Metal, I highly recommend everyone else!

UTILIZATION

Channel hyper Pleasant (c Ibanez handle it like it or not)
Access to acute very easy! mm with a handle screwed on well hit the low 22 th box! good high-pitched sounds are not super great but no one speaks a dune 2000la scratch!
Light weight! c is not a toy either, but it is not nn anvil over and stays in position without bending!
This gives her a facilemement, after a good its not the same, we like it or not. But ke you can change the microphone (I recommend a Seymour Duncan or EMG good vieu)

SOUNDS

It should Preska to my style of music. Jai Jackson RR5 for a play metal but this is well suited to rock scratches (micro are really in need of potatoes!)
I play with a H & K Vortex (a tube amp soon yeah) with a wah-wah, not reelemnt deffet. we get crystal clear sound in clean, saturated fat (because you have to beacoup gain saturation, so the sound is fat and we could pick up much in the sound ==>> MICRO !!!!)
Jaime has just about everything on this skyscraper, the sounds work well, but desperately short of power
For beginner / amateur who want to have a good sound to use too much as it scrapes LA! the agreement are well maintained (it takes too much vibrato press kan mm!)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about 2 years (I only play with but hardly ca marrive when the rutiliser mm!)
Jaim weight, are very reasonable, the sound still
jjaim least its lack of potato and versatility, a metal scraper directs more would be welcome! sinn for the blues take on a Start rotten!
Excellent price quality ratio! I remake this rather choi deu kune faith .....

I think everything has been said on this point ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice (for those who love fine Ibanez), fast enough, is access to acute nickel. The guitar is really excellent ergonomics, low weight and excellent overall balance are for many.

SOUNDS

I play on a Line6 Spider II 212 and add just the Zoom 505 Multi effects for his "sound" of 2-3 songs, that is nothing between the guitar and the amp.
Wide range of sounds thanks to the microphones, a group of eclectic covers of Bowie without meaning to ZZ Top, from Springsteen to Neil Young or Tom Petty to Judas Priest, I think we can say that it lends itself to many styles ...
Pickup (double) that hard though (but weak in the treble - height adjustment again no doubt) and micro center and handle clean nickel. I almost always playing on the central position or double-bridge combined.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using less than a year but heavy use (more than 10 hours / week), either by repeating, in concert with me ... I still love this guitar as much. Before that I played on a Yamaha (model 80) and I had the opportunity to "fiddle" the Start and a Gibson Les Paul and other Ibanez. If I had to redo this choice would be closed eyes, certainly. Super affordable, super scratch to me.

Assets:
- The shape, color short, the "mouth" beautiful;
- The holding of the Agreement, (attention, without the use of vibrato), either during the journey, after several hours of play, with decreases / increases in temperature short, CA NA NOT MOVE!
- The sounds, the ergonomics and, last but not least: THE PRICE!

Cons:
- The quality of microphones;
- The quality potentiometers / knobs and jack ... ho hum.

In conclusion, a very good guitar that you think only entry-level but may well delight guitarists experienced and picky.

Asian guitar playing music around the world!
22 frets, 2 single coil, a double!
vibrato
handle end and arrodi asser! what a treat stick! smooth, nice ....
9.5/10 for the ergonomics of the guitar (especially at this price!)

UTILIZATION

Access to treble is very very easy! Just know where they are to get them!
the guitar is light as all fine, good "cut"
the sound is a guitar that can play everything (not like me!) just "breath" on the single coils, but nothing alarming!

SOUNDS

The guitar is well suited to my style, although I now directs me to pieces of Dire Straits (then I'll buy a Les Paul), but for now it's perfect! I love this guitar, it is beautiful, really beautiful, well finished and super easy to play, even with a bigger budget and another guitar in the future, I'd sell it because I love it!
there is nothing I hate in this instrument! would be really good guitarist and I find great demand not to love this scratching! obviously it's not a guitar to 10000 euros but must already be hefty to reach the limits of this skyscraper!
