    Arbor Electric Guitar

    Ibanez M5CPublished on 01/16/05 at 15:00
    I decided I wanted to play guitar, so I saved up my allowance and mowing money to buy one. I purchased it at Twin Rivers Music in Columbus (This place adjusts each guitar that comes in and make sure there are no problems with it) for $200.

    I like the transparent red finish. The coil/coil/humbucker set up is nice, and the 5-way switching. It sounds pretty great, too.

    The only thing that i don't like about this guitar would be that it kind of goes out of tune pretty often.

    The quality of this guitar is great. So far, it has stayed together and I haven't had any problems

    If you are looking into playing guitar, you should consider this one.

    I bought this guitar at Music-Go-Round as my second guitar for $179.99.

    This guitar is great the maple neck is nice and smooth for fast moving

    The tone and volume nobes get loose alot but other then that this is a great guitar.

    I like the twany sound of this guitar it sounds really good for rock.

    this is a great beginner guitar for a cheap price i would highly recomend it.

    Made in China Electric Guitar

    Ibanez M5CPublished on 06/15/04 at 15:00
    at First i payed $100 for it at the pawn shop. that guitar has so many stories to tell,(if it could,lol). the body is black with a white pick guard. on the pick guard is a vinyl sticker of an 8-ball on fire that distinctly does not cover the pickups. each tone is way totally different. even though those are still the original pickups. overall I GIVE IT A 10+

    bad ass!! especially with digitech

    i love fender

    Global Electric Guitar

    I was looking for a guitar for cheap when I first started playing, so I went to every site and store. I didn't find anything so i started asking family members,and not one of them had anything except one of my mother's old friends. He didn't ask any money for it, just that I play it and treat it with respect and I fell in love with it the minute i saw it. I will always remember this man for his generosity and giving me what i believe to be the perfect guitar for me.

    Well i want to say everything,but I guess I should be more specific. The sound from the guitar is amazing even after all these years it is in amzing condition. The sound i think is so different from most guitars that i have pla…

    I was looking for a guitar for cheap when I first started playing, so I went to every site and store.

I will always remember this man for his generosity and giving me what i believe to be the perfect guitar for me.

    Well i want to say everything,but I guess I should be more specific. The sound from the guitar is amazing even after all these years it is in amzing condition. The sound i think is so different from most guitars that i have played i think because it is a semi-hollow body but has no f-holes. It has a Les Paul body and the looks of a Gibson. I think my favorite part though would have to be the dual closed humbucker pickups. They deliver a crisp,clean,and plain out astounding tone. I am not sure on the type of wood used for the body,but the fret board i am sure is ebony with white marble inlays on every other fret, making for it easy for navigation across the fret board and for a nice look.

    The only thing i found that i didn't like is how the unit is not labeled well. I can't find a model number or name on it anywhere. I have looked inside and out and not found a thing on its name, date of manufacture, or a model number.

    As I said before it is a semi-hollow bodied guitar but does not have any f-holes. I am not sure of the wood used for the body but the fret board is ebony with white marble inlays on every other fret, making for it easy for navigation across the fret board and for a nice look. The guitar has a dark tobacco sunburst finish and dual closed humbucker pickups. The sound is amazing and better than any other guitar i have played. It stays in tune well and delivers a crisp sound through any amp.

    From what I know it is from the late 1970's and the company is no longer manufacturing guitars or any type of merchandise and I would also like to find out more about the company and anything concerning it.If you have any information on it, please post.

    I got it at Paradise Guitar in Beloit Wisconsin for $135

    i've had it for four years and i've put this guitar through hell and it won't brake!!! i've droped it i've thrown it when i perform, and it hasn't ever broken on me. i was very very hesitant about buying a guitar that i had never even heard of before but it was going to be my first electric and i was 14 at the time. but that cheap little electric has amazing potential, and definitly worth getting as a first electric!

    the only problem i had with it was that the guitar is alittle heavier than most electric strats. but after a little while you don't even notice it!

    Like i said before i've put that guitar through hell and it still rings out like new. I love that guitar and wouldn't change it for anything. it could be alittle lighter though!

    this is definitly the way to go for a 1st electric great price and great qaulity.
