MGR/Zhyla « Ibanez GAX-70 »
Published on 01/30/04 at 15:00Guitar Center, ~$130. Was looking for an inexpensive electric but was pretty clueless. Some old guy pointed me towards it because it had better tuners and pickups than the Epiphone I was holding.
The style is very simple and I like that, doesn't get in the way. The sound is good and it's easy to hold and play. Feels very solid, makes you want to bang on it sometimes.
Not too much to say here. I don't mind where the jack is but I think a lot of people would if they are sitting down (I hold it a little differently - lick a classical guitar).
I sometimes wish I'd spent the extra $150-200 and gotten the nicer version of this guitar (one of the AX series) as I think it probably has better pickups. At the time this one sounded better... but what the hell did I know then?
Solid. Nothing has broken or fallen off so far (~1.5 years).
Good cheapy guitar.
