MGR/schroeder206 « Ibanez GAX75 »
Published on 04/13/02 at 15:00The first time I saw it in Guitar Center, I fell in love with it. I wasn't sure how much quality it would have being only $249, but a guy I know swears up and down on Ibanez. I liked the feel and I loved the look.
For one, I love the grey pewter color. The gibson style body is my favorite, and the neck has a Fender feel. It has great action. The drop D tuning switch is a very nice touch, although it looked cheaply made, it holds up quite well. And the humbucker pickups are SWEET!
There are only 2 gripes that keep me from giving this guitar a perfect score. One is that the neck feels a little heavier than the body, which makes you want to hold it up at the same time you are playing. If you stand without holding it, the head of the guitar will drop. The other thing is the finish on the body. I do love the color, but the finish is rough, and seems like it could get easily scrached or chipped.
Other than the finish and the neck being a tad on the heavy side, the quality of the guitar is solid. It doesn't seem they took any shortcuts in construction.
This is my favorite guitar by far that I have owned. I do not regret buying it. It plays very good, and plus, it just looks so damn cool!
