All user reviews of 3/5 for the Ibanez GAX30 [2004-2017]

The Ibanez Gio is my frist electric guitar. Before I bought it a year ago for aroung $250 I was playing an accoustic guitar.

What I actually like best about the guitar is that the price is very good for the quality you get. The sound is fine for both clean and distorted music.

The handling of the guitar is good.

It features two single coils and one humbucker. And you can adjust tone and volume.

What I don't like:

- The single coils are actually useless
- Too much noise if you play distorted
- The quality of the pickups is not good actually.

The construction of the guitar is ok. You don't have to tune or replace the strings often.
One time a pickup fell off and I had to screw it in again. This means the construction could be even better.

Its a good guitar if you are just a beginner or want to change to an e-guitar from an accoustic.

Anyway it is a beginners guitar and I really want to get another guitar now. I'm going to buy an Ibanez K-7 and sell my Gio.
