MGR/James Hayes « Ibanez GAX70 »
Published on 11/17/02 at 15:00I got my gax70 off of ebay for $140 ($170 after shipping)
The best thing about the gax70 is how many features it has for the price. Dual humbuckers, 2 tone, 2 volume knobs and a three way switch all for around $200, it doesn't get much better for the price.
I also love the distortion I can get out of this beast. Any rock, metal or punk song is going to sound fantastic.
The problem with this guitar is trying to get a pure clean sound. No matter what you do to the guitar (or amp) it's still not as clean of a sound as you should be able to get. Replacing the pickups would fix this, but I'm too lazy!
This guitar is rock solid. I have had no major problems. The worst thing that happens is the outlet for the guitar cable comes loose every now and then, but that's minor. The only other problem is the tuners aren't as good at holding their tune as other guitars. Also last of all you'll have to file the action a little bit to cut down on broken strings. Obviously all of these problems can be expected on almost any guitar.
This is an EXCELLENT guitar for the money! If you are a beginner who wants to rock pick it up right now! At the price I got it for it was a no brainer
