UTILIZATION

Right off the bat, this guitar is a dream to play. The action is low low LOW, and the neck has a nice carve to it. It's a bit thicker than the other Ibanez guitars, like RG with the Wizard neck, but it feels incredible. Also, the tremolo system on this is unmatched - the Edge from Ibanez is my favorite double-locking tremolo on this planet, and it always comes back to tune even after the most serious whammy abuse. The build quality is top notch as well.

SOUNDS

This guitar smokes! It is quite a versatile beast, but it was meant for shred. These Dimarzio pickups can sear and soar with the best out there - they have a vintage Gibson quality, but with a bit more output. The only think soundwise this guitar seems to be lacking is a push-pull tone pot. I'm not saying that all guitars should have one, but in this case, with the shred neck and Edge system, it would seem appropriate.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a great axe for anyone wanting to get their shred demons out. The guitar just begs to be played fast, but with soulful bends everywhere. It is a lead guitarist's dream guitar, and it does the job nicely.
