The string space (width) has nothing to do with scale (length). Its a junk guitar with a hardtail bridge. Thats why a Floyd Rose wont work. The body would have to be routed for that type of bridge.
I found the exact same things...before writing this axe off make sure to tighten tuners, use fairly thick strings, and set intonation!! Then it should work great!
so im thinking of either this, or the speedster travel guitar, what would you recommended, im getting this for travel only, but im not sure how big this guitar is, vs the speedster, anyway just wondering what you would pick thanks
@whosnext1234567 I think it is best if you can play them both and see what you like the best. I think this may be cooler than the speedster. Good Luck!
@sirkamla I don't know. I was wanting to do that myself. Since it is a different scale I am not sure the string spacing will be the same. You may want to go to your local luthier and see what his opinion is. Let me know he says! Good Luck!
@jeffmara alot of videos on my channel.... my black mikro has a floyd put on it... the spacings change when you change the bridge and nut with the floyd system... my other blue mikro pickups and tuners were changed, you need thick strings for good intonation with mikro
That sound you got going at arund 2:50, with the bridge pickups. Will I be able to receive that sort of sound on an Ibanez amp? I'm getting a package for 200, it comes with this, amp, case,tuner, etc. Or will I need that amp? I really want a metal or heavy rock sound out of it. Please reply? :D
@jeffmara I'll send it in a personal message. I'm not even sure if its this exact guitar. Everything is the same, except it has dot inlays. It's a Mikro though. But ok, check your inbox!
@KirbyPwnsAll Yes Ibanez are good for Metal. or go with brands that have EMG's Like Jackson,Schecter Or any guitar with some EMG's! They are Good for metal And my schecter hell raiser goes PAST Drop c to drop b like nothing :)
I am thinking of getting this guitar for traveling and such... I really want a metal sounding guitar because i already have a les paul which is awesome but not great for metal would this do the job for a short time?
@jaxthehate11 well it depends on how you make your decision. With the price being so low, you really can't lose. It does sound good for metal with the humbuckers. The only thing to consider is that you have a shorter scale length than the gibson. If that does not bother you then get it. If it does, then just pick up a cheap epiphone les paul special so you will have the same scale length. I think they come with humbuckers and since it is cheap you can thrash it up and you won't care.
@jaxthehate11 you have to decide if you want to play a normal length or a regular length. I say go to your music store and play them both and see which one you like best.
@197Paramore197 lol i wanna knw the answer to this question..lol im stuck between this mikro and the epiphone special and im not quite sue which to go with... :((((
Great review of the sound of the guitar.I'm getting one soon as Uncle Sam gives me my money.Then I'll finally be able to seriously start learning tp play.I have a Dean EVO/XM neck sucks too fat.Not comfortable to play I too have smaller hands and the Mikro was so comfortable to play(In my case do basic scales ect) love this guitar and the ESP Hammett Jr.,Epiphone SG Express and Squier mini strat,as well as baby Taylor.3/4 scale are more comfortable for me to play.I'm an adult player too.
My son has the mini strat. I want to change out the strings and put 9's on them and I might like it more. I will probably do a review of it. I think it would also be cool to put a hot rail in it. I may just pick one up for myself on craigs list when I see one cheap. I am curious about the hammett jr. Thanks for the hook up!
No. I like it the way it is. I actually get some pretty decent cleans from the neck. I was surprised. At the pricepoint these come at, I would probably upgrade the hardware if I wanted to gig with it.

@sirkamla Not too sure. The whole guitar is built for a smaller scale, so the overall size of the neck is smaller, too...
