    I for my part in chang after two years the humbucker by Seymour Duncan CH4 which redonn it a second wind is not the least !!!!!!!!!!!
    As against the vibrato has left because of ct tuning does not take that price you can not have it all

    SONORITS

    This is my first guitar she saw any style of music without ever grumble but since I changed the humbucker I takes to rock "grunge" and all is well !!!
    I play with a Hughes and Kettner Vortex which makes it all rather homogeneous, coupled Ds a 1 or 2 the sound takes a max !!!!!!!!!!
    The clear sound humbucking since I've changed a apprciable sustain and distortion me dcoller !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I for 2 years and a half with a microphone change twice and full rglage there four months it did not took a ride ...
    The handle and very pleasant but the whole guitar is too! No specific default ...
    As I said earlier this is my first guitar and is a music teacher gave it to me advisable after a lengthy review !!! And I really do not regret anything, compar to other models in the same price range, it's a reference number !!!
    The price quality ratio is exellent if we look more competitive it is not an Ibanez branded and therefore should gard Ibanez reputation and has risen to the TLE.
    I will do it again this choice without any hesitation is really good guitar to start electric unerringly .......

    I've had about a year recue perfectly set and nothing has changed since.
    I think Indonesia, 22 frets, HSS, and hold on tight volume features original magic capacitor (no treble loss when the volume decrease of the guitar). Everything is also very well knit, clean, remarkable.

    Big stick, anti-wizard, and given the overall quality you can take that as an alternative to gsa a sword if you do not like for sleeves. Frets leveled and nothing beats the key, good job.

    Middle pickup so rwrp noise, and the humbucker is a 4-wire so it is childish to cabler self split (bridge position over the middle, and without noise). Once again good job.

    I've had about a year recue perfectly set and nothing has changed since.
    I think Indonesia, 22 frets, HSS, and hold on tight volume features original magic capacitor (no treble loss when the volume decrease of the guitar). Everything is also very well knit, clean, remarkable.

    Big stick, anti-wizard, and given the overall quality you can take that as an alternative to gsa a sword if you do not like for sleeves. Frets leveled and nothing beats the key, good job.

    Middle pickup so rwrp noise, and the humbucker is a 4-wire so it is childish to cabler self split (bridge position over the middle, and without noise). Once again good job.

    Head tilted back so good string pressure at the nut (perfectly realized, precise height and 10-46 slide freely), but correct mechanical invest in wraps (Kluson env40 roros) because the vibrato is good.
    This is a wilkinson type float rod with 2 points that simply plugs and thus the hardness of rotation is adjustable with a mini allen wrench just desssous block. The class.

    Tobacco burst classy, ​​understated and black back. Chamfer good comfort, and the body tapers quite on its edges (unless a sword).

    UTILIZATION

    Handle very nice and consistent, also the sound is fatter than a sword. Profile D, ozégu access nickel because the body is contoured at the junction.
    Good weight, neither pen nor lead, natural. Well placed controls, it is not nothing.

    It sounds naturally, now we branch

    SOUNDS

    Simple ceramics are rather aggressive and therefore fail in some roundness against accuracy is there. For the price nothing to grumble.
    The humbucker is unique in that it is fairly saturated fat and almost alone, like a sh4, so much natural drive.

    I had a box in my sh1 has surprises, so I installed it and it fits in better with the simple origin. Furthermore, it is much cleaner and less fat so with a big stick that I think is more appropriate.

    I have his sister grg sunburst hss, and it is not the same as the humbucker gsa, like what Ibanez puts its engineers instantly regardless of the price of the guitar ... Remarkable.

    OVERALL OPINION

    With locking tuners is a delight to use, flexible and versatile. She is doing well and perfect ergonomics fact that plays long without getting tired (besides a big stick is less tiring contrary to what one might imagine).
    Springs vibrato resonate too, I put foam in the center.
    I play on vox ac15cannabisrex via overdrive distortion or multiFX, as well as installing home chiadée studio and she is doing very well and especially in various styles. With that said I have a sh1 acute.

    In fact it is the same great surprise that I grg 2, if you like the design but not typical Ibanez sleeves for these grg / gsa are for you. And prices let you add 120 roros for blockages and lift the bridge pickup that suits you.

    Made in Indonesia

    Fast vibrato bridge
    Handle end 24 frets (medium)
    Adjusting Volume & Tone
    5-way selector

    Original microphone

    UTILIZATION

    Channel pleasant, good glide
    Nice light guitar
    Access to acute is good

    That said I have better settings because it sounds wrong.
    But after setting, it is excellent!

    The vibrato is floating, but can squeeze through a small screw

    However, if like me you play primarily on a POD XT
    So it goes quite well!
    I must admit that I was frankly amazed by the sound quality in "sound" that it is directly through the pod or through the BOss AC3 is excellent!
    Logic with a 5-way selector!
    For the distortion is not bad, but if it is to hit a solo has Satriani! Place your way or micro switch;

    OVERALL OPINION

    I recently used
    I have a Gibson, Fender Ltd.
    I love the clear sound and / or funky for this is really the case
    For large distortion greasy if you have not a Pod Xt or other past your way
    Useless if you play heavy!
    I do not like the buttons because they are really plastic, but good for 8 euros baguatelle you know how to change those metal!
    The finish is successful, beautiful appearance
    The mechanics are in my opinion the cheapest trade and it feels, but not dramatic
    I must say that for the price there is not to complain except for the original settings.
    If I would do this choice? I do not think I'd rather invest in a better one.
    But we must admit that complements autres.Sans more!
    Well, for 198 euros, do not complain.
    I had the opportunity to play on a Squier and I must say that the GSA60 is really better!

    I aquis this guitar for a pittance (twenty euros by a friend) I buy this guitarepour the price but once in hand
    j'me've realized that I had a new guitar very accessible and really very convenient (a series s what) but that did not fit at all with my style
    I play this guitar with an amp line 6 spider III, IV, and even with the very typical saturation metal that make the reputation of line 6 remains in the rock is large max

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had it for about 8 or 9 months
    I tested a lot of guitar for the whole range together to find my own style this guitar is pretty nice overall but not what I was looking for (strangely I miss her)
    its handle is just enjoyable and vibrato is a bit difficult to describe it is pretty good overall but almost useless on this guitar x)
    this guitar is in 200euros seems happens if this is the case it's worth it if it's worth more like 250 I recommend malgres all the little youngsters who will begin the loved
    I buy only because of the price (20 euros) but if I was beginning to play and that sentence I would have taken for 200 I would not do it again this choice mas I would not have regretted

    the 1st string gets out of tune once in a while, but whos lazy enough not to tune it back??

    great construction! neck is smooth and sleek! one humbucker and two coil pickups for great sound! paint job is really nice. construction is great, as is all IBANEZ guitars! great feel of playing in your hands!

    superb guitar for the "low on cash" person!
    its a great guitar for beginners or to keep on playing for a good while! excellent value and quality!

    I bought this guitar at a Guitar Center in Houston for about $210 which is a great deal.

    The guitar is amazing for its price. It doesn't match the highest quality RG models or the Joe Satriani models or anything, but it is an excellent entry level guitar. I've had it almost two years now, and it is still going strong despite all the abuse I put it through. Instead of spending thousands of dollars that I didn't have on a hobby I was unsure I would like, I spent the 200 dollars on this great deal.
    The sound is great through the bridge Humbucker. It can play a variety of styles but really is better for rock.

    The sound is great through the bridge Humbucker. It can play a variety of styles but really is better for rock.
    As an Ibanez freak, I appreciate the combination of an S- Style body (with the smooth edges it looks great) and the RG, slick, areodynamic neck and flat back for comfortable playing.

    It goes out of tune a lot, and I've found the basic tremelo unit to be quite useless. It doesn't sound that good and the spring-loaded design makes it fall out of tune a lot. I'd rather it have come with a fixed bridge. Also, the pickups other than the Humbucker sound somewhat hollow.

    Durable, durable, durable. I've put this thing through so much abuse I'm surprised it still makes a sound. It is sturdy and very well-constructed. The finish is strong as well.

    This is a durable, reliable, and versatile guitar that sounds mind-blowing at the price. 200 dollars for an entry-level guitar that doesn't sound like a beginner.

    well... for a cheap guitar it sounds great. it can give you a wide variety of sounds ranging from slow indy to metal and the bridge humbucker sounds pretty good. this is a good guitar for beginners.

    well, it never stays in tune and if you just touch the whammy then you have to re-tune it.

    well built and suprisingly light. the tone knob doesn't feel stable and i think its going to fall off. but apart from that its great.

    this is an sll round good guitar and amazingly good for its price. if you are a beginner and looking for a first guitar, don't buy a squier. buy this.

    overall, excellent
    Good action, killer sound, no noise.

    Guitar has a decent shred sound without being clunky, love the jewel blue finish.

    This Guitar has a great look and sound to it. The best thing about it is, that its really easy to play. Good for solo's because there's no fret hum. The structure is good to. Another good thing about the GSA60 is that you can easly reach every fret including 22.

    There arn't many down sides to this. I guess the tuning isnt brilliant. But its such a good guitar you dont notice it!!

    The GSA60 is a great guitar - a really good first guitar! I would recomend this to any one who wants a starter guitar. It is quite pricy but well worth it for a good quallity guitar.

    i am just a beginner but my dad's been playing his entire life and my friends all said this was a great buy. Really good for metal and rock. It looks great and doesn't scratch easily. I would definently get one again!!!

    Not really good for blues but it could work (not like i would be playing blues though ;-).

    Awesome, every part works with perfection.

    If i were you and i wanted a great deal on a great guitar, then this is a must buy.

    AS STATED BEFORE I CHIPPED MINE VERY EASILY AND I KNOW OF ANOTHER PERSON WHO HAS SAME GUITAR THAT HAS SAME PROBLEMS BUT AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT ENTERING THE GUITAR IN A BEAUTY CONTEST YOU WILL BE FINE /OTHER THAN THAT FOR THE MONEY PAID IS VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED / IBANEZ IS GOOD AT MAKING EVEN THIER LESSOR KNOWN MODELS OF GOOD QUALITY

    AS STATED BEFORE BOTTOM LINE WITH THIS GUITAR IS THAT IT IS A BEGINNERS GUITAR NOTHING MORE IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT YOUR FIRST GUITAR I WOULD NOT SUGGEST BUYING THIS MODEL BUT IF YOU HAVE NOT YOU CAN GET THIS GUITAR FOR UNDER 200 DOLLARS ANYWHERE AND FOR A BEGINNER WHO DOES NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE EVEN GOING TO BE PLAYING OUTSIDE OF THREE MONTHS IT IS A BARGAIN / THIS IS THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR THE 13 YEAR OLD THAT THINKS HE IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT HENDRIX

    I don't like the sound of that guitar, and the way it was builded, because, evrything was made so so, not perfect, I don't expect to make perfect guitar like this which are made in big quantytis. Fret's wasn't lined up right, so wherever I played on first four frets, sound was fuzzed, and I couldn't hear anything. Neck could be better, because it curves quickly, and strings go off the tone very fast. They could do better job with that guitar.

    Like i said before, consctuction was terrible, few of the screws wasn't tight enaugh so I tried to figure out what was the problem, until i saw that, Neck had bad connection with body. I had some problems with electonics, but they were fixed.

    I only suggest that guitar for real beginers, for advanced user it's not good, but if you have small budget eaven this is good.

    Bought it for 315SGD (Singapore Dollars) from a local music store. That will be about 150USD. Got the Orange one cause i wanted to be different from the usual Black and Blues.

    Being a beginner, it is the perfect model for me as it will last me until i am ready to make the "big jump".



    Nice looking Ax with 1 humbucker and 2 single coils, and for a good price. Extremly solid looking and not *that* heavy. Has the wonderful Ibanez hardcore rock feel and a nice tremolo system. Nice S cutting and curve.

    Does both Ryhthm and Lead well although it is a betterlead guitar,like most Ibanez guitars.

    Can't expect killer sounds on this Ax, its really worth what you pay for. Overrall the looks of this guitar is really nice. Good finish of the fretboard. Not really pleased with the paintjob but for the price i paid, its good stuff generally speaking.

    Really good beginner ax for someone like me.(Wants to learn with a decent guitar and then make that investment in 2 years time. Personally its gonna be a Gibson Les Paul :D)Get a good tuner to go with this guitar though.

    A real good buy!

    Local music shop in Israel. The squiers looked and sounded like sh!* so I looked for somthin else. Cost about 1500 shekel which is ~US$330 (a Squier costs around $260 in Israel so...) Should cost about $200 in the states.

    REAL nice gsa body caught my eye and it sounded MUCH better than a squier.

    Nice sexy body with no hard edges. Real sweet sound. Perfect finish except... The HSS pickup config gives you a wide range of sounds. The overal look and feel of the guitar is great. I'll probably scrach the hell out of the finish (no ugly pick gaurd!) The color "transparent butterscotch" (yellow) is intersting?

    Looks like a serious guitar.

    It takes a while to get used to the S body which seemes a bit flimsy at first (good for chicks) but I'll get used to it. The pickups look cheap but sound ok. You cant change the hight of the individual strings wich is too bad, the 6th string gets a bit buzzy when I play too hard. The humbucker is crooked which I didn`t notice in the store but the sound is fine so I'll leave it alone. There are a few minor flaws in the finish, baerly noticable.

    The bolt on neck is rock hard. The knobs fall off if you help them (like everthing else). The tuning pegs needed a tightning but know there fine. The construction is much better than a squier. You can tell it will not fall apart.

    A good guitar for a serios beginer who dosn't intend to buy another ax "when he gets better". It's a bit more expensive than the infomus squier but is well worth the buck. Too bad musiciansfriend dosn't ship overseas.

    I paid 209.99 for this 'unit' at musiciansfriend.com

    I really like the look of it, and it plays very easily. It sounds better than a fat strat fender stratocastor (which is in the same price range 300 dollars) in my personal opinion.

    It gets out of tune pretty easily, but i really like it.

    No scratches or anything, no knicks, its a good guitar.

    Its a great guitar for the price, a great first guitar, and in my opinon a great guitar in general.

    I bought the GSA-60 at a Ken Stanton Music store for $210. I needed a new guitar, and this one was the best choice. I was on a budget, and I expected much less than what I actually got. I was (I still am) very impressed with the Ibanez GSA-60.

    I fell in love with the paint job on my guitar; it is a silver metallic non-glossy finish. I know there are scratches (from my pick, etc..), but I can't see them, due to the non-reflective surface; it still looks new.(I've had this guitar for over a year) The GSA-60 responds well to detuning (I play CGCFAD).

The mids on this guitar are impressive and the highs are are decent. The action is incredible! There is no fret buzz at all! The guitar is balanced well, and I have been able to play long intervals without tiring (...maybe thats just my stamina). I really like how the input for the cable is recessed, so I don't have to worry about it coming loose.

    I put strap locks on it, and about 5 months later, both holes (where the screws go) were ruined. I had to put wood glue in them to repair them. I haven't had any trouble with them recently, though. I must complain about the lows on that guitar - they blow. I use 10-52 gauge strings, and like I said before, I detune a whole step down. I'd imagine that the bottom edge would be a little more beefy, but I was wrong. The 2 thickest strings start to sound like crap after about week of use (new strings); keep in mind that I polish the strings after EVERY TIME I play. I think it might be my saddles, because I go through at least 3 sets of strings per month; the strings ALWAYS break at the bridge, and its always either 1 of the 2 thick strings. That really gets annoying, not to mention costly. Thats all I can think of, though.

    This guitar is incredible! I accidently dropped it down about 12 stairs, and all that happened was the volume knob got bent to hell. The were NO SCRATCHES WHATSOEVER . Thats one hell of a paint job! I have noticed some slight rusting on the bridge, although. Its most likely from my sweat, as I have the sweatiest hands in the world. The rust isn't very noticeable, though. Ibanez did a good job building this guitar.

    I must say that I do not regret buying this guitar at all. I highly recommend this for any player. I am very pleased with the GSA-60.
    I play A LOT of System of a Down, and coupled with a Boss Metal Zone pedal and Marshall amp, I sound pretty DAMN CLOSE. So if you are looking for that "System" sound, this is the best bet for a guitar for under $250. This guitar is well worth the money.

    I love this guitar...period...Its solid construction and crunching tones make it perfect for me. This thing can take a beating but somehow manages to stay in one piece. I got it in jewel blue and i absolutely love it.....My best friend and bandmate has an 85 Gibson Les Paul Studio and for some crazy reason i prefer to play my Ibanez......i just love the way this thing sounds when u mute those low chords in drop d! it just makes me want to cream my pants!

Great Buy!

    There are a couple of downers on this thing though.....The tuning is less than adequete and my freakin volume knob fell off! i just glued it back on and its working fine now so no biggee..........The abscense of pickguard, though kik @$$ in looks, results in some pretty bad scratch marks on the body.....

    The construction is solid......i love it.....i needed to get some work done on the bridge due to some buzzing of the bridge against my body when i would tune to drop d but ibanez was great about it and got it fixed immediately free of charge! The tuning is a bit of a bummer when recording (I use a Boss BR532, great product also) but not a big deal

    The bottom line is this is a great guitar......being a 14 year old kid still in school and having no job it is hard to come across enough to pour into an expensive guitar but this guitar, though inexpensive, is great for my needs....ill leave the shredding to my lead guitarist!!!!!!!if you are looking for a great piece of equipment for a tiny wad of dough, BUY THIS THING!!!!i think you will be happy with the result......if you have any questions or comments or are interested in a demo of my band (which i would recommend.....pretty sweet stuff)email me at dramafreak323@hotmail.com

    I bought this in a local shop in Germany. The price was about 150.-
    That's not bad for such a good effect box!!!

    There are so many sounds you can ¨make with it. In the beginning I didn't like all the programmed sounds, but now I've changed all of them (very easy to do) and like them all. Light weight and compact.

    You can't change how much wah you want. It's just wah or not wah...

    Good quality, lasts for a long time. Great construction, solid and nice to look at.


    Well, if you are a beginner or just want a solid pedal for use everywhere, this is your choice.

    I bought this guitar at my local shop(Daddy's Junky Music)for 210 big ones. I bought it because of extensive and consistant good reviews and reccomendations from other players. This is my first guitar.

    I like the overall look of the guitar. The S series body and the jewel blue finish look wicked cool! The neck is a bolt on but feels like a million bucks! Nice frets, good for bending. This guitar can obviosly be used for all perpouses but where it shines is with distortion. When i crank it with my peavy 15Gblazer it hauls some serios bottom heavy metal ass!

Definitly a guitar for my fellow metal heads!Ummmmmmmmmm......the knobs are compact and durable,and the bridge looks neat(cool chrome color). I also like the fact that going friggin nuts on stage isnt going to be a problem due to the wieght of this guitar.got 6 month warranty i think.

    If u so much as touch the wammy bar, this guitar goes out of tune, but i normally dont use it so it's not a big problem. The 2 single coils are pretty noisy. The only other thing is that the strings that came on mine suck! I dont know if they're installed at the factory or what but they are crap! My suggestion, buy some D'addrio's in advance.

    pretty durable i guess. i havnt put it to that much abuse. it smudges easily tho, it have to polish constantly to keep it from looking like crap.bolt on neck, agathis body... pretty good construction i suppose.

    GOOD JOB IBANEZ! I WOULD SUGGEST THIS GUITAR TO NEBODY WHO IS SERIOUS ENOUGH ABOUT LEARNING THE GUITAR AND IS REALLY GOING TO PLAY. DUE TO THE COST IT MAKES FOR A RATHER EXPENSIVE BEGGINER GUITAR BUT IT IS WORTH EVRY PENNY! GREAT FOR METAL.PLAYS REALLY NICE TOO. AWSOME GUITAR! BUY IT! YOU WILL LOVE IT! IT IS THE SEXIEST AXE THAT HAS EVER BEEN CREATED(cept for santana se's and zakk wyldes les paul)!

    Online from Musician's Friend for $200 with free gig bag - steal deal

    I'm a beginner on electric and had an ol samick before i bought this one. The best thing I did..it has a real warm tone which can morph into different sounds depending on the setup..I use a small marshall amp with Zoom effects and it's about the best i can expect at this stage. I bought it in black and the frets and everything are good size and feel. A must for any beginner or intermediate for Rock kind of music.

    $200 at Sam Ash in Westminster, CA

    I got a black one; the finish looks awesome and the absence of a pickguard makes it look a lotttttt better than a strat. The metal pots look really nice and unobtrusive. It has a 5-way selector, tremolo arm (which I don't use), and vol and tone pots. The tuners work well enough, but the whammy screws up the tuning. For anyone looking to use the whammy a lot, get another guitar or replace the trem bridge with something better.

    I like it :)

    It's built very well. There's a little chip on the headstock, but i got a discount ($20) for it, so it's alright. I haven't had it long, so i havne't been banging it against walls and stuff. It'd probably chip, but sta…

    I bought this guitar as a starter guitar to learn on, but I didn't want to buy the inevitable Squier Strat so I thought i would splash out and buy something better.
    I paid £185 for the guitar in a music shop.

    The sound and look are amazing. The bright blue finish really does look good and the neck and head have been nicely done in maple. The pickups, especially the humbuckers, give a nice sound. The trem. system was better than the one in the catalogue, being a SAT30 trem and not the standard one.


    The pickups on my guitar weren't screwed in fully, and the tuning is a little unstable.

    First of all, I think it looks good. The finish looks great and the whole thing is quality construction. It plays great and feels just right in my hands whether i'm sitting down or standing. Ibanez definitely did a good job on this one. It doesn't seem to be constructed in a hurry. The sound coming out is great. Not to mention that it's extremely versatile. You can play anything ffrom electric blues to death metal on this thing. Finally, it's just the right price for someone starting out.

    Nothing except the 6thy string goes out of tune just a little bit faster than the other strings but that doesn't happen often.

    The low price, great sound, look, and the fact that you can play just about anything on it makes this (at least I think so) the most ideal guitar for it's price. It's just as good as a guitar that costs $450. Great, couldn't be better. How does Ibanez make a guitar like this for so little?

    It's pretty nice, a beginner guitar, great for starting out. Has nice pick-ups.

    The biggest problem is it gets out of tune fast.

    It's very nice.
