All user reviews for the Ibanez SA260FM [2002-2011]

See more opinions: everything has been said and repeated above.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice: it also allows the shred as relatively thin (and does not catch).
The ergonomics are excellent: the guitar does not slip, and is well balanced.
Access to acute is easy (a little less than a SG anyway).

SOUNDS

This guitar is extremely versatile and can really play anything (, metal blues, jazz, rock, pop, etc ...)

I play through a Marshall JCM.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried many guitar, and I have many (ten): it is that which is the most versatile.
The price / quality ratio is unbeatable for a guitar that has a violin like (note that the pickups are the weak points of the guitar, but the violin is worthy of a guitar whose price varies between 500 and 1000 €)

Everything has already been said above.
The only difference I have from the series model is that I replaced the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan TB6 (distortion).

UTILIZATION

The handle is probably one of the main reasons why I bought this guitar, it is super fun to play. Very fine and broad, access to acute is also super easy! but it might have been better if it was a 24 fret (and not 22).
It is easy to get a good sound.
It is very enjoyable to play guitar, guitar weighs nothing and is very fine.
The only major fault I found is the vibrato. Once it is used, even in small doses, the guitar goes out of tune very quickly and to change tuning, it is not always easy!

SOUNDS

I bought this guitar from a friend when I started, I would not know much and I liked her.
She has a very clear, crystal, ideal for styles like funk, etc..
The neck and middle pickups have a slightly rounder than the bridge pickup sound, but it is very clear, very oriented to acute. Also, you can clearly hear the difference in volume between single and dual microphones. The bridge pickup is really slamming a very clear sound. For cons, I find that series, we hear very little or no difference between the humbucker split and non-split.
Personally, I'm more oriented towards the big metal and it is a bit problematic. The bridge pickup, lack of and low for this style. So, I decided to replace it with a Seymour Duncan TB6 and, pfiouuuuuu, the guitar sounds totally different. Now she sends a lot more bass, harmonics are much simpler to sortir.Bref a very heavy sound! Nickel to play tricks to Slipknot, etc.. I really thought that my guitar has been transformed!
I have given 6/10 for sound with microphones series, but with my TB6, I give it a 8/10.

OVERALL OPINION

As overall opinion, I would say it is a good guitar for beginners, or if you need a guitar that knows how to manage a bit of all genres (less in the large metal against).
on the other hand, quality / price ratio, nothing to say, for the price I got it, it's really great.
The color is nickel finish is also very good.
I would say that this guitar shows its true potential if we invested more microphones. The it really becomes a very good guitar!
I use it for about three years and I do not regret having purchased or have changed the pickups.
I remake that choice if I was in the same conditions as the purchase (ie beginner guitarist). If I had the choice again now, I'd probably buy one more suited to my style guitar.

Japan Guitar
Channel 22 fret Wizard II
5-way switch, volume and tone

UTILIZATION

Channel trs enjoyable if only one round apprcie the flat and fast!
Access in acute very easy, you fall into it (such as Oblix in the pot)
Trs fine guitar (SERIES Sabre forces), guitar as comfortable on a chair or
dbout. She's really built for Dranger by IDAL on scne!
Same if the microphones are a bit low compared to big fat gives EMG
the possibility to sound pretty open.

SOUNDS

I practice a lot of Metal and this guitar I fully agree that, even if a
little weak! Well I use a Line 6 Pod on which we can make some sound
you want, it makes up for that little lack of EHJV! We get it to sound good saturate trs
even if we push them back soon, sounds clear and crystalline that can
fit any style! And a really nice crunch sound ... It's a versatile guitar
offering of normment possibilté!
I really like all the sounds it gives!

OVERALL OPINION

I like its weight, style, finesse, sounds clear and others, its handle
ultrafast
I love the color (I would have less flash AIM), the lack of potato micro
But it is a guitar that has a trs good value quality price!
I try to RG, the LTD, and I referrer to choose! I love the sounds!

Guitar Made in Japan, good ...
Otherwise everything has been said above ... really good quality
Only regret: the vibrato and a little floating hand a little too much freestyle: S

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice: ca slides, slides, and it's fun! Long live the first big slide - 17th box without any problems!
Access to acute ... Here is what bah super easy
Great weight, not too heavy nor too light, well balanced, classic form, genre Start. Very comfortable.
Its diverse super! you can get a good sound for blues, rock, punkrock ... see the There's has to choose! (For not against the top metal)

SOUNDS

Sounds very broad ... I play a little bit of everything except metal, so I have no regrets ... take a big fat 50 or 100 watt Marshall or a Vox though powerful, and fun! If you have a Marshall distortion pedal like a Boss or Ibanez will make whatever you want (except metal!), But the only regret is actually the microphones that lack punch (at least on the humbucker). Otherwise good the cleans are great bah (mic positions 2 => Strato its close, positions 4 and 5 => a bluesy, jazzy) and the overdrive can easily make ... Marshall live!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, and frankly I have very little disappointment ... vibrato that leaves all over the place and the humbucker a little soft (-) .... Otherwise, great variety of sounds (+), rather than on Cort Epiphone or tested (+) ... very good quality / price ratio (+), but ... planning a new micro double, and why not, a new look at painting)

22 frets
Micro HSS config
easel
good all adjacent t said on this subject check out other opinions

UTILIZATION

Mache enjoyable end
Easy Access in acute (but I did not test many other guitars)
sion it is heavier than its sister the 160's (no longer sold) because of its mahogany body but it is all bearable
the balance of the cot no problem this guitar is well trs no hands!
at the sound .. of course in a clean large pb
it's more subtle distortion in the humbucker .. is my uhn got too rough, so I use the simple but often .. for its price it is still acceptable tt

SOUNDS

Sounds different and can be easily obtained Varis but not both distortion sounds I have a few (is it because of my little spider in line 2 of 6?) Perhaps it I who's lmal with rglages .. tt but this is acceptable is not a gibson sg either! (the price is DIFFERENT!)

OVERALL OPINION

Since these two months I use this guitar with me flat down KJE think I made that choice. Friend indcis scratch, you can go to ct for the SG (epiphone for this price range)
but know that this guitar has a good report qualitprix martyrs.
any stringed cot probme trs good finish The only flaw c sounds that could be better but it's still okay trs trs tt The same applies to an instrument of this price
and then you can always change oprer microphones will be worth it and unlike other guitars that are limits plywood.
So finally at a glance:
Strengths: violin, balance, etc.
point lower but not "a little less strong" even if the microphones RESTENA very correct

I MODEL I Coren, and I try the same Japanese after investing a little .... is exactly the same
Everything else is said about other opinions
The + I upgrade the pickups in the bridge duncan sh4 of litlle and 59 of the handle duncan.
This means that the violin and the choices of wood are hyper correct (mahogany body, maple table, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard) for that price ... therefore be changed to have the electronics sound great!!

-2 For electronics

UTILIZATION

Channel super easy to play, it's designed to run solo without hsiter!! It still allows same to ensure good rhythm .... Anyway very easy and enjoyable
The rest is said elsewhere, I just want prsiser the finesse of the body is a big + + +, a non-negligible comfort when you're on stage!!
To the sound with the pickups I put Duncans is standard !!!!! it has the sound of the high-end sries S (almost becaufe must remain on earth anyway)
I will note, counting with 9 microphones backgrounds who lacked sharpness and potato.
If we had noted with duncan pickups, it would be 15/10 without problems

SOUNDS

I play on a Marshall JTM60 all-tube 612, it sounded like scratching a scratch in its range with the original pickups, but as an upgrade, you can play everything.
Solo, harmonic notes come out dead, it whistles, it would be good for the Steve Morse.
in rhythm you can play the AC / DC, it will not scratch the diffrence unless you really have the ear of Angus Young. The cleans are clean and crystalline, and crunch, ca hard eyes of the head!!

Voila, you really have to change the pickups to make this a great guitar !!!!!!

(Always -2 because the sound with the original pickups really is not excellent, just good)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months, I pass on the jou gibson, fender, ibanez other, well that is most comfortable that I know. The sound is really excellent if the upgrade (for 410 euros price of the guitar + 200 euros for the microphones, there is a high-end made to 610 euros instead of 1000 euros more)

Interest is focused on the violin that is beautiful with the wood well chosen !!!!!

Always -1 for electronics!!

22 Freight
mics of sa160qm (I prcise long as I hsit between these two guitars, 260fm and 160sqm, but I was chosen was alone, the manufacturer does 160sqm more .. however, after ations of the best silent 160sqm, which surprised me given that both mics are the same and that the violin is excellent .. 260fm)
there are 2 microphones and a simple double .. a 5-way switch and 2 knobs, a sound and a middle (I say because it has aa much the same effect as the middle button amps) .. 2 useful buttons and cared
I have gray in transparent, it is really nice (that's what I say every time I watch it!)
I see no problem, but I put 9 because I do not SSAI to change the pickups .. Maybe a really changes the sound.

UTILIZATION

EXCELLENT handle it slides alone, the difficulties j'prouvaient some pieces are antiq memories, it all happens easily! ..
guitar rather lightweight compared amon old, I really like the shape, the color also ..
we get easily a good sound, thanks to two knobs and it has five selector positions that are of excellent quality

SOUNDS

Excellent sound for me.; Problem is never a pleasure
I always had the el I wanted very easily and my ears are thrilled!
I play an ibanez tb25r very good amp that goes very well with my guitar!
we obtain easily a wide range of very good quality sound

OVERALL OPINION

I would do this choice is the guitar I dreamed Ellemir be quite a lot and I like
it does not cost very cheap (I paid 346 euros) for a guitar cete and renames the quality!
I put a 10 because it's worth it just for the pleasure I play on a

The SA 260 Fm is built in Korea for this release declined.
22 frets, 3 pickups: a humbucker and two singles.
SAT 30 bridge with tremolo, vibrato very good.
5-way switch, volume and tone knobs for.
The neck is thin and rounded behind, it allows a single player game effectively.

UTILIZATION

Handle end and nice, provides very good grip solos.
The access to the latest frets is excellent, not a single problem. You can type the bend on the last fret easily.
It is very light, the shape is perfect I move easily on stage.
The pickups are very basic right, they give a good sound, great sustain.

SOUNDS

This guitar suits all styles of music with no problem.
In position, the humbucker gives pattate all for a good overdrive sound at will, in the middle position was a very good sound of grunge type, in a high position was a rather crystalline.

OVERALL OPINION

Again, hard to slap an Ibanez model from Korea. As I have always said, Ibanez is very concerned about the comfort provided to its customers, whether beginners or experienced. Their guitars sound just as well as low-end than high end. The price of SA 260 FM was down I got it for 399 € and it is very good price. Excellent violin and a great comfort for my second guitar is as much my first: RG350DX Ibanez.

Made of Indonsie
22 frets
2 single coil and humbucker 1
5 position pickup selector
1 volume knob and one playing with her ... middle I think.

UTILIZATION

I do not know much about guitars, but compared with the few guitars that I played:

1 - Channel trs enjoyable, again, that I like, it is flat, unlike some other guitars I tried ... It glides well trs!
2 - to acute Accs ridiculously easy: D
3 - Average weight, super enjoyable form (ca Ibanez still ...)
4 - I have bought, I found a good sound easily ...

SOUNDS

-I play metal and I love the sound of this guitar ... Ibanez does not dfait of its reputable ct ...
-I play with a Marshall amp and a pedal mg100dx Metalzone Boss MT2, I get everything I want with distortion as has!
-I prfre play with single coil, the humbucker has a less effective, even if I want to get a fat sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I love compltement, I certainly Rasht! Great guitar.

- True Duo Bucker humbucker (bridge)
+ AHS2 single coils (middle)
+ AHS1 single coil (neck)
- Chrome hardware
- Mahogany body and flamed maple table
- SA Maple neck
- Rosewood fingerboard 22 medium frets boxes
- SAT Pro tremolo

UTILIZATION

Complete thanks to various guitar pickups that includes a very nice play, you can easily access to the 22nd fret with no problem! it is a real pleasure, c sharp and clear, to 430 euros pa I have a guitar but excelente good in blue with a violin ... Outstanding! the handle is great too we see the form ibanez ^ ^
while in class, I play a vox AD15VT so it can only do so, the agreement of these two elements make it .. a bomb! and yes! it's beautiful music!

SOUNDS

It is even able to do so with steve morse the sound is clear and powerful in saturated! here I put 8 because the pickups could be a change and it is not the best in the world anyway, it's still a great shot for the price!

OVERALL OPINION

I advise Excellent course! for lovers of guitar and more! it's really a good investment, a beautiful pleasure, here is good Grat has all!

Everything is said in prior reviews

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice, finally a good race to the c vai satriani or what is it super easy access to acute
It is super light can play for hours without fear of getting stuck in the back out of the studio repeated
to find a good sound microphones ek origins is the gate ca ...

SOUNDS

So I said indeed ... at the microphones sonoritée ek origins ... c ca especially not that I'm playing blues or rock 70 ', rockabilly
so I changed the bridge pickup (humbucker) and I put a DiMarzio bluesbucker
its super ek my fender 212R
I put that 8 micro home

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year now
I love her look the least micro ct
the value is very good on the side for violin and microphones c impeccable if you are a big metalhead
with experience ... yes I do it again this choice

Nothing new compared to previous view

UTILIZATION

Channel gnial, fast, very enjoyable to play
Access to acute ... uh ... I've never possible issue, but have never met a problem rel
I find the table a bit small, as all the tables Strato
So the sound, I would notice a previous contributor, the microphones from the cot humbucker bridge are again too rough but the bridge also has a particular feature I've ever encountered on any guitars that I tried it a bass sound of Marcus Miller LOL
I also changed the two single coil Lace Sensor Gold by ... and THEN! ... Whaouuu how velvety beauty what Larry Carlton on stage )))
For those unable or unwilling to change their microphones, a simple rglage the volume knob is sometimes enough to remove this agressivit common to low-end microphones

SOUNDS

It suits me because, with the laces sensor.
I played on a Vox DA15, any amp that suits this kind of guitar made especially with the effect "compressor" is easily obtained pure tones such as Robben Ford or Larry Carlton

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one month, buy 240 euros with the cover and a tripod really nice guy!
I wish you to live the same experience
Report Qualitprix ... obvious right?
With the exprience I will buy the model audessus with binding and a nicer finish

A great guitar playing, and trs trs enjoyable Aesthetics.
I acquired a used 200 trs nice guy and I do not regret it.
The pickups are perfect to me, its a pretty fine for single coils and a good potato for the double play in the high saturated.
the only small default, as I use the vibrato often dsaccorde it easily, it should perhaps be replaced mcanismes.
The weight of the guitar is 3.1 kg which is about right trs we play up more than an hour.
I would do without this choice hsitation.

UTILIZATION

A great ergonomics and a super round enjoyable and easy day

SOUNDS

I play on an amp ibanez electro-acoustic pdalier with a zoom and I have a great sound

OVERALL OPINION

A guitar with an excellent qualitprix

Indonesia
22
5 selector, Tone, volume
run fast (hh)
mics: blah ...
the violin: gniale!

UTILIZATION

Quick Channel trs: IDAL for solos
very easy access to acute
trs good performance, guitar lgre
Sound: a good beginners so it's more than drinking
Then confirm for beginners it is better to change one or more microphones

SOUNDS

Suitable metal trs well anyway
Peavey Envoy 110 amp no effects pedals (for now)
its fat but not too lacks a little on harmonic PCHE (original microphone)

OVERALL OPINION

6 months of use
I love the most: its look, its easy to grip (my guitar Premire)
trs qualitprix good report: if you change the microwave, the scratches would be worth double in comparison to the "brands": Gibson, ESP, ...
I would do without this choice hsitation NO!
The violin is trs good, this guitar is really beautiful (I have the transparent blue version) and the sound is more than acceptable (and even 100 is nothing, it allows for an even better sound in taking good quality microphone ...)

Made in China
22 frets
Pickups: 2 single 1 double splitable single
Vibrato Ibanez
Bolt rosewood fingerboard

UTILIZATION

The handle is that I like: large, flat, thin enough. Short, easy to play. CHAC is the acute ais. Nanmoins, it seems impossible to lower the strings, even a little, without "frieze" trs quickly, especially on the lower strings. Consquence: we must get used to playing with the strings off the handle. But the it is obvious that I have the bad habit of playing with my Les Paul Firebrand bne o key strings can rgler millimtre half a fret (or less!) no worries! But overall the handle remains ais (it is not handles Strato style "chicken neck" it said strait, feed, bombs, in short unplayable)
The guitar is pretty well lgre balance.
The violin and the varnish of good quality and seem especially trs is beautiful (I took Amber finish)

SOUNDS

In terms of microphones, is the rub. While overall this guitar seems Designed and well finished, the quality of the microphones is very poor. Be they single or double, the output level lev is especially the sound is rough and aggressive. SETTING THE play on pots does not change much. In addition, lowering the output volume is enlve a little bit of his "Saw". Me playing mostly blues and rock, is not suitable this style of music. But I think for "mtalleux" and "nag" does! It was nice to play clean, it's strident and mtallique, micro quelquesoit configuration we select.

OVERALL OPINION

Résumé in this guitar is beautiful (except the drawing of the head, but the staff is), it is well finished, with a good violin, the handle is enjoyable ...... but you have to change IMMEDIATE microphones, and I am sr trs trs it becomes a good scratch. So I started making SAVINGS to pay me a good microphone!
