UTILIZATION

The handle and fine and pleasant, it is not a handle ibanez but for the price it's not bad at all. Access to acute is rather easy and the guitar very easy to play.
This is a guitar for styles starting metalheads and hard

The interface is nice, although I returned the guitar a little in the buff at the torso sitting game.
The guitar is not too heavy and this is very significant.
For her? Bah turn the volume and tone equalization thoroughly with a balanced and it is a very good start.

SOUNDS

I play rock, heavy, har, punk, metal and some songs loveur mode on the clean channel.

I used it with a Marshall MG15DFX and a Boss MT2 and OS2

Bridge pickup:

Distortion: The OS2 It's cool to punk and more ...
MT2 with the hard sound pretty well made, the attack, end short palms mute sympatic very decent riffs to exit.

Clean: Cold and lacking presence

Micro Channel:

Distortion: Draft and paste for large distortion, it goes to the crunch

Clean: The hot with the presence correct, sustain acceptable, doing a very good job.

I've never used the microphone which is a middle single coil ... The sound seemed really pale, expressionless next to one of the two double coil.

So I stayed on use: bridge pickup to neck pickup for distortion and clean.

And I had his drinking in both cases. Which for the price seems more than acceptable.

OVERALL OPINION

Pendand used for two years and then sold an Ibanez RGA32

I got it for Christmas without having tried guitar before I compared with other guitars in the same price range and then she did not seem unworthy.

It is suitable for someone who starts and tries hard and sounds clean correct.

The price / quality ratio seems very good but with experience I would choose rather GRG121ex ibanez sounds better with slightly better. But not nothing at all, I do not regret anything, because of my father occas made a great deal.

It does not apply to typical metal guitars 300/350 euros.
But well worth the money and it is already very good, it is quite suitable for beginners and is easy to take in hand

I can not put 7.5 then I put 7
