Value For Money :
Poor
Brand belonging to Hoshimo Corp Group (Ibanez) guitar designed in California in the Custom Shop Ibanez intended to build vintage guitar oriented, so that Ibanez is oriented metal.
American design, manufacture in the factory Fujigen Akki (Japan)
The brand appeared late 80 and ceased production in 95, making his guitar rare item, very popular. Placing this year 4500 level of 675 francs or euros, the quality is much higher than a fender mexico.
Mine is a standard Altair KS surf green.
Features:
-Body Swamp Ash
-manche 24 boxes super fast but less flat and wide sleeves that Ibanez
bearing -chevalet streamlined to put the type of palm wilkinson
-sillet graphite
very precise-mechanical oil bath
- 3 single coil pickups Vintage Alnico
- 5-way switch
Note that these guitars are very rare and some stores now sell over 1500 euros Used
nothing wrong, everything is top up very kitsch color!
Curt Cobain was playing on his guitar this model and has sold 15,000 dollars on e bay. Using this model guitarist Richie Kotzen and occasionally Satriani.
USE
The handle is faster than a fender strat, the frets are well finished. The guitar is heavier than a Strat, it is due to the ash that weighs heavier than alder.
Given the form no difficulty to access the last boxes!
The rolling vibrato allows some follies without detuning the guitar. Well above a vintage fender.
Note incredible sustain in this price range.
It was in the hands of a very very good guitar.
SOUNDS
The sound is less garish than a strat mexico, much warmer, very close to a vintage Strat. The rosewood fingerboard provided some rounded, smooth sound. This is both cristalin and soft, very typical Knofler.
The pickups are alnico staggered studs. Note that they are completely silent. Their tone is deep and slamming on the position 1,2,3 and 4. 5-position of the sound is very distinctive telcaster ideal for solos Hendrixiens.
Again, the guitar is more than a fender mexico or Higway largely equal to a good strat US.
The sustain is incredible ... Ideal for bends
NOTICE GLOBAL
I use it for 15 years, I flashed on his surf green colors and sound quality. I have a lot of guitars, it equals a Fender US level and its finish.
What I like most: its rarity, it costs a fortune to offer one now. But I find vintage stores abuse, I saw a 1600 euros ç'est exaggerated ... But in fact, the quality of the guitars starfield has never been equaled, they are far superior to Ibanez.
With experience, I would do this choice, the guitar is like new after 15 years, I can not say the same for some Gibson or Fender ... If I had the money I would buy another but are now too expensive, do not expect to find one less than 500 euros ...
