Great guitar

The Ibanez GAX 70 is a great instrument. The only problems i have with mine is that the jack is kinda loose and the bridge tone knob doesnt really work, though the guitar is also 16 years old. It's great for Sludge, Stoner, Doom, Thrash metal and Grindcore. It can also probably be used well in a more rock oriented setting but I dont play that stuff on it so I cant attest.

Nice guitar

The Ibanez GAX70 was my first guitar that I could buy, and it was a pleasure to support my learning on it. I think it is an instrument that allows the configuration of a "low action", have a very nice comfortable neck, and, its tone is versatile. I sold it because in those days I didn't really know what I needed and wanted for get in the music style that i like. However, compared to many other guitars (low-range price and thas include some mid-range price to) even after twenty years, i can say the Ibanez GAX70 its a good guitar to get start.

Best Starter/Intermediate Guitar

I got this guitar for cheap while I was in college because I only brought an acoustic with me, and I was missing playing electric. I didn't have much money, but I found this one at a local guitar store, and bought it right away. Compared to my other cheap guitars, this one was the best playing. The neck is nice and thin, which is what you expect out of Ibanez, and I loved that it had the two tones, two volumes and three-way switch. I liked all of the pickup combos.

Sure there are some flaws, which is why I'm not giving it 5 stars. Some of the parts were obviously done cheaply. The output jack wasn't great, one of the strap buttons got loose pretty much right away and always felt like it might pull out at any time. It also wasn't the best sounding clean guitar. But to rock out, this guitar did the job.

If you're able to snag one of these as your first guitar, you can't do much better than this one.

A great guitar for the studio!

Very versatile and forgiving. It has the most thin neck I've ever found and a transparent sound. You get the widest range/variation of feel/tones when going from bridge to middle to neck positions. Use the tone controls as well. You'll be amazed. Every time I demo equipment I use this guitar because I know what I can expect, given its wide spectrum. Great for most genres.

Cheap guitar, great deal

This is the first electric guitar I had at the age of 15. I´ve been using it intensely for 14 years, and all I can say is that it worth it. Ibanez in general gives such good quality for a small budget.

Great Entry Level Guitar

I still use this from time to time, and live, I tend to use it for drop tunings and as a backup. It works fine, though running it through a solid state amp in the neck or middle position will make it sound very unorganic, so I advise that this be paired with a tube amp (kinda goes against my "entry level" point from earlier). But I digress. This was my first electric guitar, and it was a great one. I took this thing to battle of the bands at age 12, and still played it at gigs come age 15. The humbuckers can still make it useful for recording when you are primarily a single coil guitar user as I am, if you want to add a double over a section to thicken the tone.

Cool guitar

Even though mine only has two nobs still great tone. I feel it goes great with 10 strings and peavy viper amp. This was my first guitar I bought used I quickly named it “Bastard” because not even the guys who sold it to me knew where it came from.

Great guitar!

I've this guitar, very versatile, I've changed the stock pickups with a couple of Di Marzio Evolution bridge and neck
