MGR/Rick Scott « Ibanez GAX70 »
Published on 05/25/02 at 15:00I got this product for Christmas, but my poor folks ended up paying like $300 for it when they could have gotten it for $189 from Musician's Friend.
There are alot of personal things. Mine has the butterscotch coloration, but looks different than all other butterscotch GAX70's I've seen. It's darker and a tad more brown (My favorite color -I lucked out!) The neck on it is very straight -more so than my friend's $800 Jackson. I like the Les Paul style bridge and the 2 volume/ 2 tone knobs. It also stays in tune and has a good solid, relatively heavy body.
Well, the pickups interfered too easily with my amp and it was hard to find a place to stand without hearing a screechy noise. I'm presently solving that problem by putting a set of active EMG's in it. Note: I liked the guitar itself enough to spend more money than it is worth on it. It's difficult (for me) to play comfortably standing up and oh yeah, of course, the jack tends to come loose easily, but I'm solving that problem too.
Like I said, the neck is straight -It's pretty thick, allowing decent sustain -comfortable to play sitting down -MINE has a gorgeous paint job -and besides the jack problem, it holds together well.
I liked it well enough to spend more money than it was worth on it.
