I bought this guitar which reminded me the Ibanez RG one I got stolen back in the 90's and that I never replaced. 30 years later I am back into it and this one is by far better and I am glad I bought it. Great sound, great playability and mostly accurate all over the fret board.
The two pickups are both interesting and offer a good spectrum of sound. The tone potentiometer is almost useless though, but it is often the case right ?
The Floyd is ok but for this one I am a bit frustrated because the one I had with my old RG felt better. The screws of this one are hard to turn when fine tuning, and the handle does not come back into low position itself which is upsetting me. I tend not to use it anymore.
I received this guitar with the little rod lowering the strings behing the string blocker unscrewed. I had to screw it myself and this was a bit scary. But I managed to to it right. I noticed then that the screws were of good quality.
The neck is correctly adjusted I would say, but I have tiny vibrations on the frets with the lower string when playing the E of F note. The action is low, I like it this way. I guess that I would need to make it fine tuned by a professional but it is still very good as is. The fret height is perfect to me, the neck shape and thickness as well.
Overall I am very happy, the guitar looks great and I wonder why I didn't buy it sooner. I think that for the price I got a good quality. I don't use anymore the old guitar I had built back in the day to replace the one I had been stolen.
