On fire

The Chinese Ibanez Fireman (FRM100TR) is now available at Swee Lee (BB showroom), managed to play it today & I must say that it gave a different single coil experience. That's partly due to the fact that the DiMarzios in there are functionally humbucking but the single coil character are definitely present & delightful. All 3 pickups sounded thicker than an average twanging unit & I'd say they have lots in store when it comes to drive/ distortion.

PS: The list price of this instrument is still pending; patience...
