    I BOUGHT THIS GUITAR AT A LOCAL GUITAR SHOP IN SIOUX CITY ,IOWA / PAID $190.00 AND HAD CORDS TUNER AND BAG THROWN IN WITH IT / WAS FIRST GUITAR WHICH I BOUGHT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO/

    /AS STATED IN OTHER REVIEWS YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR / GOES OUT OF TUNE EASILY / TONE AND VOLUME KNOBS FELL OFF AFTER ABOUT A MONTH THE ACTION GETS VERY ABOUT ONCE YOU GET TO ABOUT THE 12 FRET / HAD A TECH I KNOW TRY AND FIX THIS / HE JUST SMILED AND SAID GET A BETTER GUITAR / FINISH CHIPS EASILY / PICKUP SELECTOR SWITCH OF COURSE DOES NOT HAVE THAT BROAD OF RANGE

    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 bought this guitar in Slovenia in guitar store, I paid for It about 250$, it's too much for that kind of guitar. Store name is Big Bang

    I liked fretboard, because I was able to play qite fast, second thing that I liked at that guitar is weight and size, it's small guitar, and very easy. It'g good for someone that has only started to play electric guitar, for advanced user it's not. Another good thing is that the birdge is better then in model GRX40.

    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 p…

    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.

    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    - Madine in Indonesia
    - Agathis body.
    - Bolt (maple - 22 frets)
    - Pickups: 1 double / 2 singles (Ibanez)
    - 1 volume selector, a tone selector, 1 pickup selector (5 positions).
    - Floating Vibrato SAT10.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is fine and the handling is quick. Access to treble is rather easy. In terms of ergonomics, there is really little to blame for this guitar. Note that the GSA-60 is also pretty light.

    SOUNDS

    At the level of sound is pretty average. The simple microphones are very limited. The guitar is pretty versatile but never excel.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I own this guitar for 2 ½ years. I almost started with. I was a total novice at the time.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I own this guitar for 2 ½ years. I almost started with. I was a total novice at the time.

    The positive points:
    - The color and look cool
    - The easy handling
    - Price low enough
    Negative points:
    - Microphones means very
    - Vibrato completely invalid (I stuck mine)
    - Violin making poor overall (the guitar goes out of tune)

    Appraisal:
    I do not know what is the value for money because in this range, we should not kid ourselves, it's bound to be very few good guitars. But with experience, I do not think I would do it again maybe not this election. I would probably take much longer to test other models because in hindsight, this guitar is still very average. I still play it and I enjoy, but it is clear that once I have a little money, I turn to something a little more seriously. However, I still have to recognize that ownership level, it was perfect for a beginner like me who might have been discouraged by a handle less accessible ...
