All user reviews of 5/5 for the Ibanez GSA60

I aquired this guitar at a local dealer for $299.

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.

Like I said, quality construction.

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 has two microphones and a simple double not only to make the most beautiful, with a 5 slecteur positions.
I t surprised by the enjoyable vibrato, that can be used reasonably without dsaccorer guitar.
My guitar is blue mtalis the most beautiful effect.

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable without plutt not be exceptional, but good, all of dpend gots each.
CHAC is very easy to acute, at least much more than a Les Paul.
Without being heavy, I expected to have a more guitar lgre.
In addition, the position is not for me who idalie used to play on guitar case (but you can not really blame the guitar).

SOUNDS

Playing jazz-rock, jazz-fusion, I needed a versatile guitar. I found what I wanted.
I use a Fender Frontman 25R amp. Effects so far, I had a ZOOM 505 amliorait that the potential of all my guitar / amp cheap. But since I have my Ibanez with my Fender, the ZOOM DGRAD more signal than anything else. So I think to change my ending for effects.
At the sound of the GSA 60, as trs versatile, you can get some prs three types of sounds: a round, sound trs typ stratocaster, and its type metal.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year and I do not regret my choice.
What j'apprcie most is not sound (since with my effects, it is quite dnatur), but it's just the fact of playing a guitar well finished (no borders , no wrong notes), which is not too kind and can switch from one style to another.
The report quality price for me at the top level. I had the opportunity to play on the Epiphone, which although more qu'tant Chres, taient well below all levels.

-Made in Indonesia (for mine)
-22 Frets in a acute hb (powerful enough) 2 single position midle and neck
Floating-Vibrato (which has a very very unfortunate tendency to go awry at every change of ties or even brand of strings)
A-+ main volume a general tone
-Bolt (yes!) Wood I sai nothing that I like it very fine c (classic Ibanez)

UTILIZATION

Mance it is quite nice we feel hold the wood as opposed to handle strata (I think) gives an impression of a little plastic
-Access to treble is fairly easy I will give a 7 / 10 at this point
-The body being "hollowed out" behind it is fairly well assimilated jou. Qantas weight is just right (for my taste)
Them a galleys knobs are quite settle (obviously for me, beginner guitarist ...)

SOUNDS

For me playing the big rock, metal.C is true that the simple micro serious position is a bit lightweight.
But if not clean it's a nice (well one is in recess to study the guitar). It is not even, without being too demanding, are get funky, reggae

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using a an.C regraiterais true I just stick is really easy to play
Of course all of the notes and apreciation the data taking into account the price of 260 euros neuve.Je think it's a good guitar to start.
available colors black and blue amber

2 potentiomtres a slecteur.

UTILIZATION

Extremely easy to handle CSTA end and taken. Guitar pluttlgre and handy.
Only major inconvnient: no Systm blocking strings (Floyd Rose type) on tremolo and fcheuse dsaccorder trend. I play often agree a tone and a half down and all you need to connect the 2 minutes bte ...
Friends of the Drop D (such Numetal / grunge) then go your way.
This ngatif down the overall score a bit.

SOUNDS

Trs versatile guitar that can adapt any style except the extreme can be kind of pure trash metal or jazz.
Coupled a V-AMP2 is your exact plutt flattering. The original pickups are a little LGERS (price requires) but honntes.

OVERALL OPINION

Compar my Epiphone Les Paul and my Fender Start Japan, GSA60 is more versatile. The piphone has a fat and heavy, the Fender plutt wild, GSA60 is between the two. Not fade so far, it should all guitarists (rather rhythmic) beginners or experienced.
Excellent qualitprix so (new: approx 280E). A choice I will opt for a nanmoins RG MODEL suprieur or with a Floyd Rose.

- Sabre SERIES
- Corps agathis
- Channel Saddle screwed comfortable
- 22 frets, Rosewood
- 1 humbucker + 2 single coils Powersound
- Slecteur 5 positions
- Vibrato standard Sat 10
- Volume + tonalitbr />
I do not know how to write these CHARACTERISTICS ...

I put 1 July mainly because of the vibrato

UTILIZATION

If you are not a scratch "srieu" or are beginners then this guitar is for you.
on the other hand, and it's the biggest problem with this guitar, vibrato is not terrible
I do not say that enough flick has everything dsaccorder m good ... do not be too heavy hand nomplus ... The pa Tije is screwed and the vibrato is con trs there ... dc should go get trs further down which is not very practical! ptite trick just go around the Tije with tape and the pb is rgler

The mcaniques st tiptop not as yours but when the same route.

if you play standing up, pay attention to fixing the guitar that tend to dvisser if we make too much of saux Prieux avc

the grip is comfortable lgre is a guitar that has a great look

This is scratching the pa nomplus upscale but stein well even when the road

SOUNDS

Well then ...

It's a versatile guitar rather than it should trs good to those who want to start this

I play the Muse, Nirvana, of Manson, the Deftones, Pink Floyd goes on and better
I started this guitar stroke 5 years ago and frankly c trs qualitprix correct for the report there is no better

I had first one then a Peavy 15 watt Marshall 100 watt (mg 100dfx) I tested on a ausi ENGL powerball (which I plan to make a acqisition) is a bah it sounds good
Just turn the pots can a guitar and the amp and go on s'clate well no worries!
Obviously this does not worth a LTD EC-1000 (which itself is terrible)

9 pr versatility and sound correct

OVERALL OPINION

L or the scraper loses points because of a vibrato she returned thanks to his report qualitprix, versatility, and his sonoritbr />
Key points:

- This guitar is made for beginners or those who will not go "far" in this art is music so subtle ... or guitarists that want to switch from acoustic to electric through acoustic guitarists that want an electric scraper on hand

- The vibrato, which is not bad deal if you want to arrive at the end of his piece prfr (the Tije but do not worry too see little trick it works well trs)

- Guitar versatile trs well have fun avc no worries! P

I use it for 4 years (a little less since I have my LTD) I do not really regret my purchase because even now I enjoy playing with
I do not count me dbarasser because even if sometimes the vibrato dglingue all (if we go hard avc) teaches us to tweak your guitar has a dbrouilard and makes you realize with this scratch is not fun when you play well!

This guitar does frabriquer in Indonsie
. Agathis body
. Channel Saddle / rosewood fingerboard 22 frets

. 1 Volume / 1 Tone / 5 positions slecteur
. Vibrato SAT-10
. Mcaniques oil bath
. Chrome hardware
. Colours: Black Night

UTILIZATION

The neck is quite thin which allows a good grip, Access in treble is super simple not need to be a sprained wrist to be reached! Whether you play standing or sitting, the shape perfectly s'addapte two more situations it is perfectly equilibrated is not too heavy which is good for RPET when standing still 2 or 3 hours
in terms of sound there are can hardly find a better value qualitprix.

SOUNDS

I play mostly hard rock and I dfois dborde on the metal but it always does the height, it is clear that there are more beginners but if it's really good, I play a marshall MG15CDR the sound is really clear top with rglages can really get good sound trs, in terms of distortion I would say it has to say dificil me since my balance a marshall distortion super saturated and a bit boiled but I try my amp with other guitar and even when it is not the same I would say with some rglage at the knob and the amplifier are obtained his sweet trs trs mtal fat!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for almost a year and I never really t
I prfre is the quality of the violin with his trs decent for the price
before this guitar I play on a Steve Moore (I've never been able to find on the internet) and a Harley Benton HBR430BK (poorly equilibrated with the worst of all) but it is really the top GSA60 ac t of these two guitars!
report quality price level seen what I saw with my mates dj and everything I would say it's really great!
if I had, I would do three times what choices hsiter!

- Made in Indonesia.
- Agathis body.
- Bolt-on maple 22 frets, C flattens.
- Pickups: 1 humbucker and 2 single coil (Ibanez NSDP)
- 1 volume knob, 1 tone knob and pickup selector 5 positions.
- Floating Vibrato SAT10.
- Lutherie of good quality (mine is dark honey, wood grain visible, very classy).

UTILIZATION

- Manche fast and soft, round, good access to acute.
- Guitar slight knock but not very well balanced.
- The sound is average, but not unpleasant either.
- On mine, the vibrato does not agree.
- Tendency to disturb a bit, even after adjusting :-(

SOUNDS

I play metal and some rock.

- My amp is a Peavey Blazer 158, difficult to assess the potential noise.
- The sound is crystal clear, clean, just a little loud in the treble.
- In its full, it lacks precision in the most severe, but more because of the ampl i and low distortion.

This is very correct for the price.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 2 years and I do not regret my purchase: it is excellent to boot, very comfortable. I intend to change it anyway for RG.

I put him nine for the value price!

-This scratch was made in Indonesia.
-22 Frets and a HSS config, the bridge humbucker and 2 single, Powersound, low-end Ibanez.
Floating-Vibrato
-1 Tone + 1 volume
5-position selector
Agathis body, rosewood fingerboard

UTILIZATION

-Bolt and very pleasant, Profile C
Access to acute-more than reasonable
"It's a guitar rather light and well balanced
"I used most aouvent position 1 (one humbucker) and 2 (Bridge + middle) to crystalline sounds strat type.

SOUNDS

One can obtain several types of sounds: just use the knobs
It can go from crystal clear sound with a fat easily ...
The versatility is there thanks to the micro-type configuration Fat Start.
The ideal is to have a noise suppressor such as Boss ns-2 in distortion tends to feedback, even with the humbucker.
In addition there are many parasites, the top would be to shield the wiring to eliminate them, but I'm not so handy!
parasites and feedback bring down the rating to 7, if I put 9 for versatility.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been about two years since the g scratching, I was almost at the same time as my TV American Standard, of course it does not compare, but to start, I think competition (Squier, epi) does not offer such quality for the same price (250 Roros) ...

To begin, a must see!

Listed features, everything has been said in the previous opinion.
Mine comes from Indonesia, and sunburst ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is very thin! I think it's nice, but beware of changing guitar, it's weird, because almost all other guitars have a thicker handle.
The consequence is that it is rather fast, access to treble is good.

The guitar is balanced (although a bit heavy), fairly well finished, and the selector knobs show no defects.
The lifts are a little weak, but perfectly adequate.

The only negative point really, it was the microphones! Very sensitive to electrostatic interference, not really suitable for big sound and so on. But finally, remember that we're on a guitar to 250 euros!

SOUNDS

I play on a HK amp, plain, not bad at all (although a little slam), in distortion, a little less (but my amp is not read first choice).

In short, for the ACDC is a bit light, but for its less aggressive, blues, for example, not bad.

Do not hesitate to use the microwave rather than double two singles.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for about 1 year, and I just bought a Gibson SG, so it allows me to give an opinion that can compare to another skyscraper!

In summary, the big plus is the character fun to play, and the least is the micro part.

But be careful, I tried several other models, and in my humble opinion, at that price, this is a best!
It works very well for beginners (especially with its versatile side), and if the choice was to do again, I do it again!

8 for the report and Polivalente qualitprix
And only 8 because the bridge!

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable, fine, good grip
Access in acute is good
The esgonomie is good!
The sound! Trs good for a guitar of this price, its easy to find a suitable!
The vibrato has forgotten! I did stop! It's better now to do!

SOUNDS

Plutt I play rock / blues / grunge I stroll between these styles and thus between the microphones! The pickups are low for beginners correct me with the time I changed twice a Seymour Duncan SH4 and dernirement I also changed the neck pickup DiMarzio DP404 by! Moreover, it passed into the hands of a luthier for a full refretage and rglage!
I play with a VOX AC15CC1X trs and rendering is good but I used to play beginners with a little laney 15watts and I've always really struck her.
To be simple with basic microphones I played with the dual mainly for distortion and over time I "Discoveries" both simple! (Up on lost! No!) And really gives her a simple and sparkling with good sound saturated with the double!

OVERALL OPINION

Premire is my guitar and his heart is that of four years! She was able to evolve with me while taking the road with these changes ... It's a guitar that does advise me by a guitar teacher who tried to other models in the m my price range and advised me and really no regrets!
It's really the guitar with the report qualitprix / Aesthetics I find the best! It is simple in addition to being signed to a major brand (his account when beginners! ) and the sound is really good and the temsp we never tire of it! The mine has undergone some change as I said at the microphone but refrettage change the volume knob lock bridge, but it is to the fact that it serves me well and therefore wears! but the varnish has good Enco jump out of nowhere! It's really now a guitar center but it sounds really with my mods. This is a guitar that I recommend to beginners who likes to keep their instrument and had to evolve with this one because it lends itself really well!

See more advice.
Small clarification though: the pickups are Ibanez manufacturing is not great (sounds a bit cold and noise) but it still works fine (finally after a year or two that old!).
The violin is very good.

UTILIZATION

The interface is not bad at that weight is: not too heavy and well balanced.
Access to acute is easy: the form stratocaster what.
The sound is not bad, even unplugged it feels it has the build anyway for a guitar of this range and is a good sign.
The neck is thin and very nice, the paint is just perfect! It allows a good playability and good speed! ... Well this is not my case but I imagine that people who have short fat fingers may be a little less impressed.

SOUNDS

It agreed not hurt my style when I bought it. This was my first guitar and I wanted to play the Hard Rock and Metal and why the bridge humbucker is not bad (especially on offense) now just under two simple but balanced nonetheless.
I played on a Vox Pathfinder 15W to begin then on a Harley Benton GA15 All tube. With a little overdrive pedal or distortion and a little reverb or a rotary, it does wonders!

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for five years (last three years there 's where I played almost no ...) I had only tested the Pacifica 112 in comparison with Yam and the two really were worth so I chose the look!
I thought it was good value for money at the time I bought it but now it has dropped from 50 € is really a bargain! (To avoid occasions because the microphones do not age well).
With the experience I would do this choice certainly, I sincerely advise a beginner, I also made a gift to my little brother who starts!
