Quality:
The Ibanez GAX30 is a very well made guitar with a finish which is normally found on much higher priced guitars. The bridge is well made and easily adjusted. The fretboard is easily played all the way up past the octive fret. This is a high quality guitar for the price!

The Ibanez GAX30 is an awsome sounding guitar. It is great for any type of rock. The sustain is incredible and it is very easy to play.

Feature:
it has a tone switch a volume knob and a tone knob which is good for a beginner but once you get better your gonna need more

Quality:
they did the best they could for the money and that was pretty good

Value:
definately worth the money

Desirability:
its not the sexiest guitar ever but it sure sounds good and has a sexy sound

Sound:
This guitar sounds pretty good, the tone switch dosent make much difference. thats about all that i dont like. i can play pink floyd, ac/dc, and greenday songs pretty good and thats all i really play so i like it

Ease of Use:
its really simple and easy to use

Support:
never had a problem so i dont need it

Overall:
Its the first guitar i have ever had and its the one that i still use. i've had it for about a year and a half and now im planning to move on to a more expensive guitar. it treated me really good and still does. once i get the money i plan on going to a pawn shop and looking for a good deal on a les paul, but still shes a good guitar

Feature:
The only issue that struck me with this guitar is how horrible the tuners are. They'll lock in pretty good at first but now precise tuning is a nightmare they slip and slide all over the place making detuning for a more metal sound take an hour. Eventually i'll probbley have to toss new tuners in it.

Quality:
Mine has never been dropped or anything of the sort but it goes back and forth to guitar club at school every wednesday with reletive ease in a soft case, and i've not noticed any real issues with it, and when it's not out and about I keep it on a regular stand, and keep the pickups clean it sounds great. The only bad thing again is the tuner quality.

Value:
Well i must say for the price it was good, i've not played many low end guitars but this one has a few minor flaws that really shouldn't get in the way of your purchase, i've been happy with it for a year, it even convinced me to stop playing bass guitar.

Desirability:
It's got a pretty fat body on it compared to other guitars giving it a sexy tone. That's what set it apart from some other guitars i jammed on in the shop that were low end. I purchased the red one beacuse it has a really cool see through finish and thin paintcoat.

Sound:
My impression of the sound could be off because i transitioned from playing a fender bass guitar, and never had enough money to purchase a guitar amp, although many people at various shops have told me it's not a big deal. All and all, I think it has pretty good kick for a low end guitar.

Ease of Use:
Well it doesn't get much easier then this guitar, the tone and volume knobs in obvious locations, and the pickup switch is easy enough to use but doesn't do a whole lot tone wise unless you really crank it. I use a multi-effect with it to get different sounds, and i enjoy it overall play-wise, My only real issue is the cord plug-in area isn't very convenient if you sit while playing often compared to other guitars.

Support:
I've never contacted them in the past year or more that i've had the guitar so it's not been an issue.

Overall:
Well this guitar is my secondary guitar that i leave in Drop C or D whatever, because i came to purchase a vintage Kramer Voyager in a local pawnshop which needs some work but is superior to this guitar in my opinion.

Feature:
this guitar doesn't really have features except for the pitch and pick up selector (but those don't really count, do they?) but the material is so light weight, which makes it very comfortable to play sitting or standing.

Quality:
this product is made very well, didn't pay for any shipping (which was awsome) and there is nothing wrong with it. very sturdy, you could probably through it at the wall a few times and it would be fine (i'm not ganna try it though...) and agina, it's so light!

Value:
this was an awsome deal. every other guitar either was good and too much, or sucked ass and affordable (like all things in life) but this guitar was right in my price range, and still had enough to get an amp.

Desirability:
when i saw this guitar, i really really wanted it, when i got it, it was as awsome as it looked online (i think its cuz the online one is polished and stuff) but it still looks really cool. and when i pick it up i want to just play for hourse, but the thing is, i don't sound like Eddy Van Halen.....yet.

Sound:
this is my first guitar and i love the sound of it. it's great for classic rock/metal. if you have own other guitars then i dont think you should buy this cuz it was built (i believe) fro beginners.

Support:
wouldn't know, havn't had any problems with this guitar, so i've never had to call them.

Overall:
Now, this is a great guitar, and i would recomended to any beginner who is SERIOUS about learning and playing the guitar. cuz if you're not serious and your mommy bought it for you so you would shut the hell up, then go buy a yamaha at walmart. OK, when i know alot more on guitars and want that edge and better sound, ofcourse i am going to buy a different guitar, maybe a BC Rich, but those are ALOT of money. if some one stole this guitar, i would hunt them down, beat the crap out of them with my guitar and take their money, and get a better guitar :)

perfect, great finish, no scratches, knobs are on tight, tuners aren't bad, (i replaced stock strings so no opinion)

slim neck makes it easy to go through chords

Support:
never used

Overall:
i'll probably use this guitar for a long time, seems like it'll hold for a while

Feature:
Has a nice set of pickups witha a switch but have bad tuners.

Quality:
it will need new tuners after about 3 months of continuous playing but its like a tank ive had one for about 3 years and still in great condition

Value:
One of the best values ive seen ever.

Desirability:
dosent have the best look but when your playing it dosent matter

Sound:
This guitar has an awesome sound for the price nice switch. This is a perfect guitar for begginers.

Ease of Use:
the ease of use is okay im not a big fan of the bulky style but thats me and the headstock gets in the way.

Support:
never had to

Overall:
you should be satisfied for at least a year or so if it was stolen id buy something new for begginers it meets your goals. i would have to buy a bc rich if this was stolen. i would have wanted to know the price i bought for $200!! i like the pickups the sound and i dont like the body id say if you have your first guitar already buy this youll love it

"Sex on a Mahogany Stick"

Support:
* * * * * . . . . . 5 out of 10
 
 
 
Feature:
Amp is ordinary in the starter package....needs a Wammy bar apart from that it's a pretty basic guitar.

Quality:
Whilst everything is supposedly chrome it does have a cheapish look to it on close inspection. Tuning keys are plastic and potentially a weak point. The bridge is a bit ordinary could be better qulaity. Overall quality is pretty good. The Red is best look. Wouldn't take it on the road.

Value:
Great Value...seems better than any other low end brands like Squier.

Desirability:
Sex on a Mahogany stick

Sound:
It sounds pretty good, I would suggest getting an amp that is better than the Ibanez 10 amp practice one that the package came with (tends to have a lot of hum and buzz). Get some good strings and it improves the whole thing up a notch. Not bad with jazz but far better with rock.

Support:
So far no dealing with either the reatiler or manufacturer.

Overall:
This guitar will certainly do me for a while at least until my ability improves or my bank account becomes fat.
