MGR/Kane Kneale « Ibanez GRX 170 »
Published on 12/15/03 at 15:00I Acquired this product from mackay music supplies in Mackay, Queensland Australia.
I paid AU$542 (sorry i am not sure what that would equate to in US dollars). (this guitar came in 'Jewel Blue')
This was my @nd guitar, and from the moment i saw it i just loved the look about it. From the 3 Pickups. (2 humbuckers, and one single coil). I loved the colour because it showed the wood grain, The timber on the back of the neck was really soft and of lot better quality wood than my other Guitar. I picked the guitar up and played it in the shop through a Marshall MG 30DFX, which i bought as well. I loved the humbuckers, because it stop that annoying hum that single-coil pickups tend to have. The Tremolo bridge is fantastic, and is inscribed with the word "Ibanez".
The only thing i don't like about the GRX 170 is that the bridge does not have individual saddle adjustment like Fender guitars have. This is really no big deal, because i recently took my grx back to the shop to try to get my string buzz fixed.
And the problem is easily fixed and i am happy again
.
The GRX 170 is a solid wood bodied Guitar, with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard neck. The neck joins the body by 3 screws (i am told that this is typical of most guitar necks.) The Guitar features chrome hardware, black Controls, (two in total Volume and tone). black headstock and self lubricating stratocaster style machine heads. The guitar i think looks really good, with its nice blue finish (also comes in grey,black and transparant red!). The wood grain on the guitar sets in really nice with the colour.
I really love this guitar, i think that the quality is of a high Standard.And if you are looking for a good Quality first/second Guitar, this guitar may be right down you alley. On the Ibanez website, they claim that the wizard II neck featured on this guitar, is the most playable in the price range. I would seriously check this guitar out, i am sure you will like it.
