All user reviews for the Ibanez GAX70

I bought this guitar about a year ago for $125.00 with a trade in of a nice copy of a Telecaster at the local guitar store.

Everything,I've been playing for quite some time. I know it's suppose to be a beginner guitar but I knew it wasn't when I checked it out.Very nice action,built really well the only thing that needed adjustment after I got it were the tuners,cool sounding humbuckers,stays in tune,beautiful finish. good for any style music,a steal for the price they go for.

The only thing I noticed is you cant get all the way up the neck comfortably for the solo's.that's the only draw back.

Excellent!

Get total access up to the end of the neck and look out it may be as perfect as you can get. a solid purchase for anyone on a budget who knows guitars.

I bought this guitar from some guy off of ebay. I paid 200 bucks for it.

I love the way it sounds, i love the way it feels, i love the shiny color, lol. Its a great guitar

I don't like where the amp input is...because when i'm sitting down and i have it rested on my knee the chord is resting on my knee but its going to break soon because of that. And i don't like that I keep breaking the same string on it over and over. I think its something wrong with the guitar.....or maybe not.

its good, but i beat it to hell, because i'm in a punk band

bottom line....great guitar! You should buy....want mine? E-mail me!

Hmm, it all started out with me going to Guitar Center in Hallandale Florida, a VERY VERY good guitar authority in case you don't know. I knew Ibanez is a quality product manufacturer, and it is proven by Three Doors Down, Marilyn Manson's John5 etc. I had just gotten paid for doing a job while I was suspended from school. I got paid 200$, two hours after recieving my money, I only had 5 of it left...meaning I spent 195$ on it (that includes the 6% sales Tax)

I absolutely love the locking tremolo, which is shining stainless steel, the humbuckers arer absolutely SCREAMING! The tuning keys hold their position great, and in fact, I have not had to retune my guitar once in the 2 months that I have had it!

The only thing that I don't like, as with any guitar, is the line output nut comes loose every once and a while.

It couldnt have been built better. Locking tight nuts, everything has been built with pure excellence and craftsmanship..a true winner!

This is a great guitar for anyone, expert or beginner. The parts and equipment are superb, crasftsmanship and quality, PURE EXCELLENCE! Highly Recommended!!

I picked up this guitar for about $220 bucks at our local music store. It has an great feel to the neck and lots of power from it's two open coil humbuckers.



It stays in tune a long time - I play an hour every day and I only have to tune it once a week. The pickups are great, you can get warm blues tones from it and yet, flip the swich to the rear pick up play all the punk and metal you want.


It likes to eat strings, I go though a few every month.



perfect!



Great buy for your money! It looks like it's worth more with its bright red finish very very durable.

Electric guitar classical HH configuration (two humbuckers)
22 frets. Double cutaway. 4 knobs: one volume, a micro Tone, 3 position switch: neck pickup, both pickups, bridge pickup. Tune-o-matic. Mcaniques oil bath.
Gibson typical configuration: simple and effective.
Mine is a beautiful translucent red which betrayed a beautiful wood.

UTILIZATION

The main quality of this guitar is its neck. For the price it is excellent!
Trs good finish varnish, paint, mechanical ...
I think the body design and good trs comfortable use.
Micros much difference and rglage Tone effective.
Not too heavy but you can feel all of the same, too bad it's not super balance at stake standing on the other hand it is perfectly comfortable hold on the thigh to play seated.
I have to touch the wiring of the knobs and tighten the nuts mounting the switch. Nothing really mchant, a small welding and a clean shot cl should be the door of any self-respecting grateux.
The rglages factory, action, intonation ... taient correct.

SOUNDS

The whole time I played on a small combo indoor silent trs it plays well but on a good quality head lamps highlighted the limitations of this guitar empty .
Microphones a little weak, not bad in grves, it fits well on a Marshall amp, but it lacks body and especially Aiges seem clumps which can make a sound and confusion draft if the receiver also suffers from this problem (most low-end combo). Trs walk well on Fender amp for those who find them too noisy, well compensated.
But all may sound rgler working on prampli or pedals.
With better pickups we could come up with something good trs.
Sustain all of the same INTERESTED.
I prfre clearly the neck pickup to bridge pickup but curiously the two together can find a nice looking for the rglage IDAL with the volume buttons.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years without problem.
The quality of the handle make a trs trs good guitar work.
This is a assurment trs beautiful "little guitar".
I urge all beginners less fortunate a report qualitprix remarkable. Useless, I think, to three times more expensive in a low-end of a prestige brand to reach just the US quality.
The more experienced guitarist can change the pickups but it really ncessaire double the total cost?
And for the price it Do not hesitate to take it out on any condition with s'clater!

First I said that I am a novice in the world of the guitar and my first opinion so you are warned ...
So it is a low-end ibanez made in Korea as saying it has two humbucker in microphone that are not especially the best yet they did not complain as this is a guitar is 400 euros I think.
It owns a fixed bridge that are not signed so no reference to it ... a possile
As for the setting we had four knob that match each of the two volume and two tone microphones which also correspond to the two microphones, the switch allows a position:
-With the neck pickup only
Els-one position with two double micro
-A position with the bridge pickup only
The handle is somewhat removed from the RG series for example is so much finer than the GIO is quite rounded and therefore slower
Al to note is probably expensive but it fits me well for a beginner to guiitare ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is big enough as said before no particular special.
Access in acute is always compared to a RG so easy and yet quite resonable.
A negative weight is quite big and even when holding the guitar while standing is not easy so here we find a beginner's guitar because it is especially made to play seated. Standing because the guitar has a bad habit of falling down it's pretty boring to play another black mark over the block for the strap are of poor quality and mine quickly jump started playing when g standing and that's a shame so careful.
The sound is quite Polivalente it is easily obtained aps adjustments are hard to find the pots are fairly accurate ...

SOUNDS

This is a beginner guitar so open to any style I play bine the bossa blues that as with metal, I used an avenger with 18watts which did not sound at all, then with a marshall valvestate8080 making it better and then I was able to recement the acquisition of a flextone3XL which sounds even better ... a sustainer is not a bad ide if you play with this guitar part in the lead ...
For the types of the obtained I do not think be able to say much because not knowing aps especially well qualified one's best will be to test it by yourself ...
For me most of j'utlise els possible configurations of the guitar playing, in fact many different styles but prefer is:
-Selector to treble the volume to max and Tone knob has 6 / 10 for sound unless I say slamming ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 years now and I appreciate it because I find it easier to play sitting practice. Otherwise I do not think that much room there is only a beginner guitar among others, and so many others I do is not try before you buy more because I started and ke I do not much pigeais a time, however, has its price range I would recommend you focus on the low end ltd which are much better ...
The report price is resonable quality even when I do not part with it because it is just the first of my guitar, and I do it again without hsit choice form is pretty simple it is ...

I believe that everything said above t
it has a really good "look".

UTILIZATION

The handle is really enjoyable: when I play on another guitar, I Drout ... may be because of habit, but I think it's the quality of the handle ...
Access in acute is carefree, I have not felt dsquilibre the guitar ... I'm comfortable with it as well standing than sitting.
I had little problem with volume and tone knobs: aa frrrrrrrrrrrrr often when they are running, but with a spray to maintain the circuit boards, is this little problem RULES .
slecteur the microphones is not of great quality it was necessary to change it.

SOUNDS

I play with a 80 and it really attax gnial to start.
position is effective intermdiaire microphones for clear sound: soft and attacking both.
the sound can be rough sometimes in big chords.
the pickups are a bit of PCHE, but it is an entry-level ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have about 7 years and held the clash of concerts, rptitions ... I never ENTSO my purchase. for me it's the guitar IDAL to start ... its price is very affordable! trs a good value in qualitprix dfnitive.
the guitar is beautiful trs: it makes you want to play (dfoncer to live) and dpart is not nothing.

As nuncio lowest configuration is standard (22 frets, 4-button type switch Gibson, two humbuckers, short, simple and effective), but we can not qu'tre admiration for the care to handle port. Otherwise meaningless level design: the body is sensual trs (!), The finish is polished down (especially with the color red) ... Basically a good quality price ratio, even if still a classic. (No ide o is produced on the other hand)

UTILIZATION

The handle provides comfort rare in touch the frets are smooth trs, the optimum width, the transition to acute perfect. Only lightweight BMOL: the high E string is sometimes a tendency to cling to freight at bends a little too adventurous in the acute ... This problem happened to me many times on the so-MODEL better report it ... The weight is reasonable (Gibson sg fans, you will understand me), even if it could destabilize the dpart - this is my electric guitar Premire Acquisition level, and poor balance of the body the handle makes it a bit uncomfortable standing in the Premire week - note that if the strap is not properly fixed, you may have bad surpise of the ergonomics of the guitar ... Personally I think she is made to play sitting, although I use it still standing.
Paralllement, the sound is enjoyable, clean, can be more rough than the strato imitations, for example, but instead offers a gentle when using the clean sound I find rev apprciable ( especially when the switch is placed in the bridge pickup). Indeed - and this is what I find INTERESTED guitar for this price range - the gax70 has a sound tural identity, both for crunch and distortion sounds as the basis for clean sounds . And with a multi-effects pedals, even low-end, we get easily the INTERESTED.

SOUNDS

This guitar followed me a lot during training progressive guitar / bass / drums. Addition on my Pod xt live and my Peavy amp 100 watts, it is perfectly suited to the style of music fits perfectly with the effects, yet ahead of my pod (all effects flangers make trs VERY well ). The same note at a constant blowing on the amp (even if it is low), leaving close the rough finish of the guitar ... The main problem in the RSID distorted sounds for which there is unfortunately a little fiddling his amp and pedals to avoid the sound fat and heavy dsagrable quickly. Nevertheless, its ease of CASC and fast discovering is that good sound is a atirail choice for beginners and exprimentaux.

OVERALL OPINION

Guitar I advise strongly to beginners because it is at the beep, the report qualitprix, design, simplicity of the crushing sound of the machine, and especially in the neck indeed, really comfortable (we soon fell in love!), the gax70 knows how dfendre. I use it for several years now and I think its ease of use has t gal as the Variax 700 and trs trs premium. But do not expect an extremely thin and his prcis, overall, it is as complete, the hardware is cheap destiny sell up to novices. ..

Made in Korea I think, the manufacturing qalité disappointed me greatly!! the imput jack is half a bar after a few days, a tone knob unscrews constantly nn franchent it does not feel really solid this beast! Finally I can be dropped following the single defective model ...
the handle is nice it glides well.
Posot selector 3.

UTILIZATION

The handle is really simpa his slides nikel access to acute problems is not the guitar looks at the head like a sg ... must be endured.

SOUNDS

Not my own guitar but that of my brother I could not answer for him but he uses it more for the little rock and even reggae it is not for the bulk metal, I used mg100dfx with a marshall and my brother with a fender fmr250 handle the microphones be really be big and heavy.

OVERALL OPINION

Heuu he must have been a little over a year, must admit she is super nice finishing ms is not level, the value for money is good enough ac experience I think that it would purchase a more solid guitar! like a les paul ...

This guitar is Indonesian manufacturing (that marked the top of the handle)
the body is agathis wood close to mahogany, maple neck bolted
22 frets, 2 doubles Ibanez Powersound ceramic
fixed bridge gibson type 2 volumes 2 tonalitées a three-position switch,
the red patent transparent, revealing a beautiful wood, have mechanical correct.
Gibson guitar typed in these characteristics, suffisantet effective. by mail against the original is not great.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice for this range of guitar, I love it. It is a little heavy and unbalanced pti as we play up in May with a wide strap is very enjoyable even played debout.son weight is far from a failure majeur.L access to good standing as acute seated and the sound is correct for this range of guitar.Elle not go out of tune.

SOUNDS

I play it on an ibanez tone blaster 25w coupled to a big muff russian chorus flanger ibanez and small stone home Ehel sounds good and is very versatile, from reggae to stoner doom through the pa is a problem. I Bienle micro serious home which is rather good qualities the microphone is also acute, but lacks a bit in the solo préscision I find and get a little rough on agreements on all the strings problem disto.Le of these are micro lorskon branch powerful amp for the stage, for example where one feels more défaut.Cela's still good for this range of guitar, the sound is not up to shit.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my first guitar, I've had two and a half years and if I change it to a gibson.J 'I changed the micro by Seymour, a 59 (sh1) to handle custom and custom (SH11) in bridge with push-pull on both micro and we took a slap at son.Avec micro push-pull and all I got for 400euro, the guitar is original about 250th in a shop I love this exelente scratch is a base to start I recommend it to beginners but I think what no longer manufactured dommage.D origin jlui is May 9 by changing the micro tears she exelente guitar for beginners

Guitar made in Indonesia.
Form close to a Gibson SG.
Channel 22 cargo maple.
Gibson mechanical type.
So simple equipment but of good quality that responds very well to the expectations of a guitar study.

UTILIZATION

The handle is really nice, very fast.
Access to acute is reasonable.
Ergonomics are generally good, perfect seated position, as to the standing position, I never had to complain, even if some find it looks next round. This is not false, but then to say that it is embarrassing for the game ... and more with a leather strap, the problem is almost zero.

The question, I think for a guitar of this range, there's really nothing to say, for some it is plugged into a good amp. We can even say that it has its fine print. We can not say that the settings are as accurate as on a guitar more upscale but you can still get out sounds interesting.

SOUNDS

This guitar is pretty versatile, it comes out the big sound as well as his soft, warm light.
The sound is by no cons very "flashy". Only the acute lack a little finesse and softness.

I have long used this guitar on a 60 JazzChorus giving an interesting color to sound clear.
I also used a Marshall JTM 30 with a good record Crunchy.

In short, sounds completely honest for this range of guitar and to explore different musical styles.
on the other hand, for lovers of crystalline sounds so Fender, it's not really his specialty

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this guitar in England for the equivalent of about € 200 there are 5 or 6 years.
My goal was to have a guitar that I can lug around without fear.
I used a lot until I can afford to invest in a high-end guitar.
It made me all this time of loyal service. I never had the slightest concern,
apart from the strap clips that are not very strong and I had to be replaced
by Straplocks for safety.

I have not tried all the guitars in this price range, but every time I was able to compare
to others, I concluded that it was defending himself pretty well. Anyway, question value for money, there's really nothing to say.

This is a guitar that easily I would advise any beginner guitarist.
And she has the mouth and more!
