History: 15 years as studio guitarist.
Purchase: $239 from guitar center.
Pros: The best low priced guitar made. This guitar has the quality and features of an ax 5 times the price.
Cons: Pickups suck, spend $150 ASAP. Toss the stock crap.
Quality: 9 out of 10 Review Summary: I have owned guitars that cost 100 times the price of the 75. I am a studio guitarist, and I was looking for a basic lead workhorse. I played 30 guitars before I picked this out. This blows most american guitars away. I had no clue of the price when I picked this up. When the kid at the counter told me I took two of them.

Purchase: I bought mine at a local Guitar Center for $220
Pros: The thing feels great. This guitar sounds beautiful, and the de-tuner is awesome. Also, this guitar does not buzz, period.
Cons: Just a little neck-heavy, has a tendency to lean forward.
Quality: Very well built. Has a solid, but not too heavy body, and it can be played very fast easily. Review Summary: Great beginner, even intermediate guitar. Has an excellent sound, I couldn't have asked for a better guitar. IBANEZ ALL THE WAY!!! On 2004-05-29, Tyler Justice rated this Ibanez GAX75 a 4...(8983)
Purchase: I got this guitar in the winter of 2001, got it out of musicians friend, they have great customer service by the way, and i paid about $220 for it.
Pros: First of all i loved the color of the body, its called grey pewter matte, its a nice, not too flash guitar. The body its self also put you in the mind of a Gibson. The action on this guitar is awesome from the nut to the body, never too tall. And the controls on it give you a sepreate tone option for both the neck and brige humbuckers. Also a good touch. Oh yea, the drop d tuner is the most useful thing youll ever use, just flip the swich and it goes perfectly into D.
Cons: Its balanceed weird, the neck seems to over weigh the body kinda makeing it a problem too both hold it up, and play it. Recentlly the one of the tone knobs came unglued, making it free spin, and it was hell glueing back in so it would stay, but a 3 year old cheap guitar, i think thats good.
Quality: 3 years, and this axe is still holding up rather well, the clear coat on the paint where your arm would rest on the body is starting to show wear, but thats just battle scars, ive banged it around alot too, and its shown no hurt what so ever. Review Summary: Its a good buy, durable, plays good, sounds good, and won't break you up. But the bottem line is how useful a drop D tuner is, once you have one, ull never want one without it. Im 110% satisfied. On 2003-03-24, sidebyrnes rated this Ibanez gax75 a 4...(4602)
Purchase: Guitar Center, pais $225.00. (you can talk a guitar salesman dowm like anyone else)
Pros: -Tight guitar.
-The color is tight
-the bridge is simple and solid
-the neck is thick enough
-the frets are medium, great for rythym and some lead.
-The headstock is accessable.
-downshifter is great for up-tunings as well as down to "d" or "c"!!
Cons: -The neck is heavy- combat this with a thick strap that won't slide accross your shoulders- I actually got used to it and I like the heavey neck because I know right where it will be with my left hand when I'm sining.
-The neck humbucker sucks, at least replace that one.
-The top string tuner as hard to adjust.
Quality: Great for the price- TIGHTEN everything when you first get it so it doesn't all fall off! - just missing that mama's touch. Review Summary: Well worth it On 2002-06-19, Brian rated this Ibanez GAX75 a 3...(2311)
Purchase: I bought my guitar for about $250 from Guitar Center
Pros: I like the D-tuner which drops the E string to a D jus by pushing the switch... neck action is good too...
Cons: The pickups are on the lame ass side of things... and my friend just bought a squier strat-pack for the same price... and the tone and durability on that kicks the crap outta mine...
Quality: Its put together well... and the pewter finish is very cool looking... but it shows dings very easily. Review Summary: Overall... this is a good beginners guitar... but Im looking for a new one... because this thing has taken its course... and there are other guitars of equal price that are much better...

Purchase: The first time I saw it in Guitar Center, I fell in love with it. I wasn't sure how much quality it would have being only $249, but a guy I know swears up and down on Ibanez. I liked the feel and I loved the look.
Pros: For one, I love the grey pewter color. The gibson style body is my favorite, and the neck has a Fender feel. It has great action. The drop D tuning switch is a very nice touch, although it looked cheaply made, it holds up quite well. And the humbucker pickups are SWEET!
Cons: There are only 2 gripes that keep me from giving this guitar a perfect score. One is that the neck feels a little heavier than the body, which makes you want to hold it up at the same time you are playing. If you stand without holding it, the head of the guitar will drop. The other thing is the finish on the body. I do love the color, but the finish is rough, and seems like it could get easily scrached or chipped.
Quality: Other than the finish and the neck being a tad on the heavy side, the quality of the guitar is solid. It doesn't seem they took any shortcuts in construction. Review Summary: This is my favorite guitar by far that I have owned. I do not regret buying it. It plays very good, and plus, it just looks so damn cool! |
