MGR/Dylan Meadows « Ibanez GAX70 »
Published on 06/29/02 at 15:00I got this guitar from Musician's Friend. I paid 190.00 but with shipping it came to about 203.00.
Being that this is my second guitar, adn being that my first guitar was a harmony bullet, I obviously rediscovered guitars. This is EXCELLENT. I love the transparent red finish, it is beautiful! The humbuckers kick it! It weight seems like it was designed for me. My Harmony weighed very little, because it was made out of plywood. The GAX70 has weight to it, because it's a wide body mahogany guitar. But it isn't too heavy.
I don't like the nut on the side jack thing coming off! Then you have to unscrew the jack plate and go fishing for it. It's only happened once, though, and only took about a minute to fix, but I'm lazy!
I LOVE THE FINISH! It sounds great. I've never had any troubles with it, so i guess that makes a great quality guitar. I get many many compliments on this fine instrument. I tune my guitar to different tunings often, but as soon as i tune it, it isn't going to change unless i change it. I kept it tuned to standard E when i first go it, then three months later i decided to change the tuning, but i never had to mess with it until then. It is really easy to change strings with the tremolo on it. Just pull em out and feed em back through. EASY!
This guitar has opened my eye to Ibanez's quality. They sell high priced and low priced guitars, but the quality is the same, unless higher priced ibanez'a are of a Godly quality. I plan to nuture this baby forever. I'm not getting rid of it ever. Highly recommended!
