Hi everybody....
I'll have some problems with my PC recently... unable to upload my pictures!!! GRRR...
However, here is a short review of this incredible guitar!!!
First, what surprised me a lot is the acoustic sound you have with this guitar when you play unplugged... very loud, warm and rich... this must be because of the
mahogany body.. I don't have this kind of sound with my other basswood Ibanez.... this is good sign!!
As for the confort.. this is the best neck I have ever played!!! period.. I was a bit afraid of the super thin super wizard!! But it does not feel that thin.. very comfortable, and the velvet touch finish feels like... velvet!
for almost 10 years my favorite neck has been the Petrucci one.. I have to admit this one is (almost) better...
The sound... mmmm.... creamy, powerful, and very very responsive to your playing... picking attack is greatly reflected in the sound with thes pickups... I loooove the Air Norton, this has been the best
neck pickup for me for years so I did know what to expect... (along with the FRED, a super cool neck pickup also), but believe me I've played for 15 years and never tried a Tone Zone... LOL... I like it a lot... A great match with the Air Norton.... powerful enough to play some Opeth
but not muddy even in this mahogany guitar... I would like this pickups to be a bit brighter, but on the other side, at least I can push the presence and treble on my amp without exploding the ears of everybody!!!!
I play it trhough my Hughes & Kettner Trilogy amp, and I must say it's sounds HUGE!!!!
It's clearly the best guitar I've ever had!! I'm soo glad!! The finish is superb and I'm happy the guitar is loaded with stainless steel frets! I think I should be the case with any high end guitar, especially the signature models!! come on Ibanez!
Soon I'll put pic, I promise!
