Feature:
Awesome features! It was a very nice orange colour. The finish seemed quite thick so it should last. The body is very thin and has rounded edges. So far so good. Standard stuff- 5 point selector switch, volume and tone controls. The real shining point here is the ZR or 'zero resistance' double locking tremelo. This tremelo is astonishingly smooth in its operation and holds the tuning very well. Great job ibanez! I tried the newer edge pro 2 tremelos and they just seemed to stiff for me.
Quality:
Very good quality. This guitar will withstand a fair bit of abuse. So it should be good for road use.
Value:
Pretty good value. A little pricey but for the quality its very good.
Desirability:
OH YEAH! Im gonna buy this beast as soon as i get the money!:)
Sound:
I tried out this guitar in a music store in Manchester, UK. It has a H/S/H pickup configuration. I plugged it into some old vintage half stack. Well for a start, the clean was very impressive. The notes rang out very clearly with a nice balance. When i cranked up the gain, the guitar gave a very good response. I would prefer it if the bridge pickup was more dirty. Palm muting just didnt seem to come out as defined as on my present guitar. Still, the pickups can be replaced and you'll have a badass axe!
Support:
I only tried this in the shop so I cant comment.
Overall:
This is an excellent guitar for guitar players of all skill levels. I highly reccomend this for all fans of rock, blues, metal and the like. The metalheads like me may just want to change the bridge pickup though.
