Made in Korea, 7-string, EMG active pus, Floyd Rose, 25.5" scale, 24 frets.
Overall i felt too strange with the 7-string. Almost struggled to play the minimal. There was a novice guy next to me playing a strat, and i could not follow him!!!
So that was a negative experience.
About the guitar quality : that was a bigger shock. Loose frets grabbing strings beneath, extreme uneven buzzing, unevenly installed nut, rough frets, damage in the finish.... And the guitar costs about 700 euros, same price i got the Made in China ibby arz800 two years back, and the gap in quality is almost chaotic.
Admittedly this was a b-stock item, but too many problems all at once just seem too much. I found all that in just 10 minutes... i dont wanna imagine what would happen if i took this home.
So, two things of consideration :
- will i be able to play the 7-string? or am i too old for that?
- should i look into the ibanez camp better?
In the whole Athens down town, i found only one 7-string guitar to play!! And this was in the bigger chain in Greece, who also represent fender. I even went to the Ibanez dealer but he didnt have any! I went to the ESP dealer, no chance there neither.
