All user reviews for the Ibanez M5C

I received this "instrument" as a Christmas gift from my parents when I first started playing guitar. I had learned on an acoustic but wanted an electric to play on. Ohh boy, wish I had went a different direction and asked for money instead. I think they got this guitar from a catalog for $75.00 or so. It came with some really poor teaching manuals and an amp the size of a coconut. I figured it would be nice to at least learn electric on...I was mistaken.

It's light.

First off is the actual sound of the instrument...it's non-existant. The strings buzz horribly. The screws to lower the strings are stuck so I can't change their height above the fretboard. It's nearly impossible to tune this guitar because of the weak sound. The pickups are horrid.

The body seems durable enough. However as far as quality, that's as far as it goes. The volume knob broke about a week after getting the guitar...and the amp that came with it broke another week later.

The quality of this guitar is shoddy to say the least...but I guess that's what you get for paying some seventy-five dollars. I honestly wouldn't recommend this guitar for even a beginner...go with a Fender starter set or something along those lines.

I first started playing guitar at 9 years old but it was a small acoustic so at age 16 i needed a new guitar and i wanted an electric to do the style of music i was into so i went to a music store and bought a $90 brownsville and a vox amp

the best thing about the brownsville is its unique sound and look i have had people ask me how i make it sound like that and people even tried to trade me their gibson gothics before and this guitar was only $90.

the major problem with this product are the stringshave the tendency to go out of tune and the back strap holder breaks if you jump alot but a longer screw holds it just fine.

the body is a solid body i'm not sure of the wood the neck is hard maple i think with a rosewood fretboard the headstock is the same color of the body and is equiped with silver hardware and a three way tremlo switch.

this guitar is well worth the money and it looks great.

EBAY! for around 137 bucks.

This guitar plays very well for something under 150. I like the whole vintage look, and the unique aluminum pickguards. The tone is awesome! The bridge humbucker sounds great when you hook it up to some overdrive pedal. The neck pickup is the cleanest I've ever heard! It sounds better than the ones on a gibson!

I get feedback due to the fretboard mixed with pickups. The interior electrics seem to cut off at times. I will get it looked at. The switch that changes from bridge to neck pickups is somewhat loose and tends to switch around while playing.

I love the whole look of the guitar. It's a nice natural sunburst/tobacco color, and the humbuckers look great. Everything on the guitar is vintage, and looks very different. The whole thing is built sturdily, and it's always tuned correctly, no matter how many times you hit the headstock against something.

Good for intermediates. Emo rocks!

The Harmony guitar is a nice begginer guitar. I got it from a guitar magazine that isnt to widely used or read. I got this guitar for 200.00 because I always wanted a guitar and it looks just like a Fender.

I really like The whole guitar. The one thing i like most aout it is that the strings are very easy to tune and they hardly need it. The volume setting is very easy 2 set precisley on the exact volume you want. This is a great guitar for a beginner but can be used by anyone.

There really isn't much I dont like about this guitar. One thing however is that the tremolo(wammy) bar knocks it out of tune sometimes. Also the cord jack sometimes may come loose if you twist the wire, while unplugging it.

The construction of this guitar is very strong. It has a pearl white pickguard, and a rosewood neck. It also as some chrome like on the intonation settings, the frets are chrome, and the wammy bar is chrome. The quality of the unit is actually really good. The neck is tight on it, the frets are tight, some screws come loose occasionally.

This product is a great product for begginer guitarists. It may not be a popular brad, however it looks just like a Fender, has a great sound, and stays in tune most of the time. There are very few problems weith this guitar. Hey if this isnt eoug for you it comes with a small practice amp. Remember the name Harmony for almost the best harmony in a guitar.
