Ibanez Review: GAX75

History:

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.

What I Like About This Ibanez GAX75: 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.

What I Do NOT Like About The Ibanez GAX75: 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.

Ibanez GAX75 Quality Rating: 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.

Rating of this Ibanez product: 4
