Ibanez Review: AX 120

Ibanez Electric Guitars



History:

Purchase: I first stumbled apon this guitar at after seeing an add in guitar world by samash. I quickly found a musicstop dealer and test played it a few times.. at first it was just the body syle that drew me to it but then after i started playing it it just seemed to flow...i paid almost 600 canadian with taxes and i have never regretted it.. the only instruments that have ever come close in playability are parkers and prs.

What I Like About This Ibanez AX 120: i love the way i can make it squeel witht the pick ups or thick powerchords anywhere on the neck. it is wonderful for drop tunings.. D or C# is perfrect...i am mad at everyone giving this guitar bad reviews.. it is the favourite out of my 7 guitar collection which includes gibsons and fenders.

What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez AX 120: the only dislike i have about this guitar is it not holding in tune to drop tunings as well as it should. NO REGRETS

Ibanez AX 120 Quality Rating: i would say that this is my perfect guitar and ibanez clearly thought this through in the planning stages.. combined with the right amp this guitar can make any sound you want.



Review Summary: this guitar may not be good for beginners or even pros until u spend some time and get to know it. my playing didn't really improve until i figured out how it worked. but it is the best guitar overall i have ever played.

Rating of this Ibanez product: 5

Ibanez RG220 - Overall, a good guitar for the intermediate player just sop it up and put some emg's in there....

Ibanez EDB 605 - So in short, the EDB 650 Ergodyne bass is excellent value for money. Versatile sound, elegant look, and you could drive a semitrailer (or small horse) over it. Wouldn't part with this bass for almost anything. (And I've plasyed it's successor, the ED...

Ibanez SR640BK - I'm sure the newer SR400 or 800 series, which are similar to tis model are just as sweet, but it's too bad they don't sell the 640 in the US anymore. For anyone looking for a pro quality bass at a discounted, closeout price, this baby is worth searc...

Ibanez RG770DX - Fantastic professional quality guitar for a not so professional price. Been superb now for years, just wish Ibanez didn't keep discontinuing guitars of such high spec for poorer copies....

Ibanez RG270 - In conclusion, it's a really great guitar, for anything from classroom teaching to large scale gigs. Choose your amplifier carefully, depending on the tone you want. I use a Peavey brain hooked up to two 26-inch enclosure speakers, and the sound is g...

Ibanez JEM7VWH - Very excellent guitar. Very nice features. Great sound. Great feel. And, to top it all off, Steve Vai uses this exact guitar (or atleast his own JEM7VWH named "Evo"). The guitar is beatiful. I'd be playing it right now if I weren't typing this rev...

Ibanez AW200CE - If you're looking for a great acoustic in the $1000.00 range, save yourself a few bucks and buy the Ibanez Artwood AW200CE at $600.00. You will get $1000.00 quality at a better price!...
