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

I been is known for probably the most highly used overdrive for distortion pedal in existence. The Ibanez tube screamer has to be the most widely used title because if it's great feeling tone that it gives any guitar player using it in front of an amplifier. Ibanez is also known for very budget friendly and cheap guitars. They're known for their shredding metal guitars primarily because they have very good action and extremely fast max.

Many of their guitars range from the prices of $200 all the way up to this several thousand dollars. But most of the guitars range in a 200 - 500 range. They build some great guitars and very inexpensive guitars for the budgeted musician. This body guitar features mahogany all with a flame maple top. The neck is also a mahogany neck and also features a 25 inch neck scale. You have 22 frets and that is on top of the rosewood fretboard. You have three pick up's to select from one humbug or pick up into single quill pick ups this gives it a a lot of versatility in dialing in the towns that you're looking for. There is it a tremolo bridge.

SOUNDS

This guitar will working pretty much any setting of amplifier or ring tones that you have. These guitars that excel any hygiene atmosphere. So if you had a good hiking amplifier such as a Mesa boogie or Bogner amplifier in your to get some great tones on his guitar. The guitar itself isn't a guitar that's full of tone or soul but it's a good guitar for someone wanting to learn how to play the guitar and needs something that's very budget friendly. So you're not going to walk away playing this guitar feeling like there's a bunch of tone within the wood and feeling you're going to get a good guitar is can give you the right amount of time for the price he paid . It's a good price for this guitar and is a very extremely fun guitar and it's actually pretty nice guitar to look at well.

OVERALL OPINION

These guitars are priced pretty low. See you can find them in the used market pretty easily. But if you want to buy one new you can be out a lot because they have discontinued this model. However there is a lot of these guitars out in the classifieds in you section say it shouldn't take you very long to find one. When they were new they were going for right around $450 so any used you can probably pick up that up for about half of that price.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using AOT 2010. Good quality price, but if I had to choose a guitar that day, I think I'll take one with better pickups.

This guitar is manufactured or I do not know, probably in an Asian country.
It has 22 frets and the bridge is not a bridge but a flyod a vibrato, the rest do not ask me more ^ ^
Pickups: Config HSS (humbucker H =, S = single)
It has a 5-way switch for pickups, one tone and volume.
The neck is fairly thin and flat, it was well in hand.
I put 8 because perfection is not of this world and I wanted 24 frets, but it dfend well in its class. (High Quality)

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable, as said before, it is flat and the end of a game ... plutt promotes fast.
Access in acute Submitted do no difficulty particulires (stratode. ..)
The guitar as mahogany, it can be felt in the left shoulder APRS an hour of play up, but not overly heavy.
The sound can be easily modulated thanks to the many combinations of tone and microphones available .. so is obtained relatively easily son.Aprs good, always time to find her.

SOUNDS

I play mostly metal but hard rock or blues (eg acdc hard rock but a bit bluesy at times ..., metallica for the rest, but there's not a ^ ^) so this guitar suits me well enough that I would have two humbuckers can be better served ... On the line 6 spyder 2 (30w) is going well especially with DIFFERENT presets, but for the line6 takes some time before get used to it ....
Otherwise, it must be rgler to clean, tone preferences not a substance but rather quite lev and a single coil (the handle will not hurt ^ ^ depends on each APRS) since The humbucker has a sound a little too heavy I got a .. (in clean vidamment ^ ^ otherwise the humbucker is not bad in disto .. jessaye would have another to see the difference.)

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ending for two years, I still have my good former MODEL gray without the True Duo but I do not know what I would have a contribution to the limit .. if they had put a Humbucker in the neck .. good short end
I love this guitar as a bone intgralit it is what it's worth, is that the midrange, and I intend to point me in 6 months to a year-scratching srieuse (probably ESP) but to begin a year of APRS electric folk (and 7 of piano xD I talk about my exprience l ^ ^) is a good guitar.
Before, I tried a Cort G250 (I think) but not in depth but a fender mex .. 'but I had not sousous (end if it was me for anything ^ ^) and then a Epiphone Goth SG ^ ^ all black (it was the rotten, sounds good and is not trs dsaccordait end in 2 minutes ... that was good j'lai 3-4 Smain the one hand) and veiled I also test if the ibanez just below the level that is more produced now .... remember the name of the MODEL ..
With exprience, may be could I turn directly to the Fender Fat Start Mex'qui cost 200 euros more (I need a humbucker me ^ ^), for a direct scratches a bit better. ... but frankly I do not really regret this choice

1 - Made in china as it is described broadly in the box!
2-22 medium frets, AHS1 (neck), AHS2 (middle) and "True Duo Bucker" (bridge - Into switchable single coils by push / pull pot) [dsol to copy / paste]
3-The bridge is an Ibanez SAT pro2 (tremolo)
4-Channel 3-roomed enjoyable play, rosewood fingerboard? (Rosewood en français)

UTILIZATION

For me it's that good. I NWPD Premire part of my pay in this guitar and I'm super happy!
I do not give a true opinion because I am not expert enough for me is super enjoyable to play.

SOUNDS

I get clean sounds crazy with the multi-effect Korg AX3G. The distortion and other crunch is not as good with my amp and multi Tenson 15 watts: s

Dmo's a small lead and bass distortion on my myspace!: http://www.myspace.com/insi2 PS: the extract, I get these sounds with Guitar Rig 3 (preset personal basis Mesa Boogie Dual Rect and Boss distortion thing thing ^ ^)

OVERALL OPINION

I reu 07.05.08 Saturday morning with 338 command Thomann, no worries (qualitprix the report is more than good and the choice I would do hundreds of times if it is needed). I pass the aprem 'play with and I made the lil extract. Since I play it every day and what happiness is all the more that I find beautiful.

The hand slides easily.
A real pleasure to play.
Ibanez is the quality appointments as usual.

- CASC to treble is it easy?

May even be too ...
It plays long without getting tired.

- Do you get easily a good sound?

It's a guitar trslgre and easy to play. However the series pickups make very difficult to get a good sound.

The guitar sounds very good but ds vacuum that connects the amp to gte. If the guitar is indeed easy to play it is difficult rgler.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought six months ago and use it almost every day since.

I like its shape, its lightness and superb finish.
If only the microphones n'taient not as mediocre ...

This is my first of the electric guitar and n'tant not extremely rich and beginner I used this site to search for a skyscraper with a report qualitprix maximum. And I found it. I'm thrilled. The finish and the quality of this guitar is simply unbelievable against its price. (I bought 350) It is very pleasing and trslgre play. The one and only default of this guitar (it takes a while due to its low price somewhere) are the pickups. They may be enough for beginners who do not look very special sound, however I personally think the change dj ds that I can. APRS several forums this skyscraper 's owner has changed the pickups by Seymour Duncan SH1 and SH4 little 59 and then seem to argue that skyscrapers would largely duplicate what it worth the base.

I already tried a lot of guitars including a Start and another Entirely hand made which ignores these same team Seymour Duncan. It is true that sound absolutely silent gnial.

Anyway, this is certainly one of the best guitar at qualitprix t given to me to see. I remake that choice without hesitating one second, and I strongly advise beginners who seek a very good guitar for cheap.

The characteristics c specific on not my forte

1 humbucker splitable
2 singles
Rosewood handle
flame maple table
Wilkinson vibrato type knife
22 frets
5 position selector 2 volume pots and tone (I supposes)

UTILIZATION

The handle is excellent pr the price
difficult argl tip top as usual, but good compromise
this guitar is comfortable and trslgre (shape etc ...)

SOUNDS

St pr me sounds very good but goes everywhere
no real personality
has to be a little quality if it manages to find its sound with the amp and effects
its lack qd even a little "grain"

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 4 years and uses it as a guitar numro for a little over 1 year
+ Big qualities: Lgre, beautiful (transparent blue), pleasant (lgre and handle) and versatile enough

defaults: not enough typ pr especially blues and jazz but little do with same qd

No regrets about his purchase

Manufacturing Indonesia
Pickups: Humbucker True Duo Bucker (vibrato) + single coil splittable AHS2 (central) + AHS1 Single Coil (neck)
Deck fitting: Satin
Body: Flamed Maple top and mahogany
Neck: Maple SA
Fingerboard: Rosewood 22 frets
Vibrato: SAT Pro
Color: TLB (Transparency Lavender Blue) A beautiful deep purple

UTILIZATION

With a handle nice and slim, it is especially fun to play solo. The guitar is lightweight and its shape is forgotten: no discomfort encountered. The violin is beautifully finished and it is purple tiger charmer, was the AC blows heart when I saw her. Access to acute is easy.

SOUNDS

The original pickups are a little weak and allow evil to explore vast combination of versatility.
Although the microphone is splittable humbuckeur means no difference when crossing it.
I changed the original pickups by EMG Kit SL20 Steve Lukather and it fully exploits the sound that this guitar is made. Clear sounds slamming without loss of accuracy and distortion has hot desire. I put an 8 for the original pickups but it deserves a 10 with the EMG.

OVERALL OPINION

I had already used the models of the SA brand, SA120 exactly. These models have always been very enjoyable to play, but always with the disadvantages of average-quality microphones. Seeing the color purple which gives a special charm to this SA260, I cracked With the kit SL20 EMG power and versatility of this guitar makes sense. A guitar that I highly recommend for beginners but is also suitable for more experienced players

Left handed model
Made in China
except that it is left it has the same characteristics as mentioned above


UTILIZATION

Like everyone I found the handle very easy and pleasant, it was decisive in the choice.
The shape is nice, the guitar is light, you think that's me playing on semi fund ... it changed my life
The access to the treble just happens, it may fail me 2 boxes on a solo that I'm working now ... (22 boxes for those who have not followed)
I find the sound and accurate excelente. Obviously it is less warm than the semi cash, albeit with a little adjustment when you get clear sound even a very respectable


SOUNDS

Since I have I use it as a first guitar, I play with everything so well in concert again, I recently performed in concert and on Vox VT100 am the couple fell in love Ibanez + vox VT. in fact I ordered the amp yesterday .... I hate
The sound is more crystalline.
For the moment I played on a Marshall JCM800 Combo all-tube, I use a small multi purpose, an expression pedal and a boss MT2 for big sounds
I just can ready all I want to like her, with me (because less cumbersome to walk) I play on a small Vox DA20 with the same effect the same result.
I love his sound across

OVERALL OPINION

Don I use since September 2010, I hesitate a lot between Corte X series which was in the same price range and this one, no regret.
So like many things in when playing guitar left-handed one is not bad penalized by the price and choice, so from Ibanez no choice of color, but she's going out of the mouth
The price seems fair value, just something to add I lose the pickup selector knob and I have a few games in the tone control and this after 2 months of using non-intensive, but I'll carry in warranty before that expires.
I remake this choice without any hesitation
Perfect

(Originally written by larry1977/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Made in Indonesia.

22 frets

Two single-coil and one humbucker pickups

5-way toggle switch

Volume and tone controls.

UTILIZATION

I bought for its playability. This guitar is perfectly ergonomic.

It's VERY light

Fast and slim neck

Easy access to the upper frets.

Very playable!

SOUNDS

That's the problem :-(

I use a 10-46 string set

I was a beginner when I bought this guitar and I found it sounded amazing.

Today, after one and a half year of use, I've become more demanding.

The pickups have no punch at all!!!!

Poor overtones... I mainly play U2 songs so it's essential to have rich overtones.

But considering the price you can't be too demanding!

OVERALL OPINION

Mine has a blue finish and it looks very nice. As a beginner I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again! More demanding musicians will buy another guitar or upgrade the original pickups!
