    For a guitar at $200, it doesn't sound or look bad, I personally think Ibanez made a great affordable guitar & I think I might purchase one 😎

      I completely agree. I think Ibanez have got it figured out with budget priced guitars, and this one doesn't even feel like a budget guitars. I struggle to fault it!

    I think you’ve just helped my get a first electric guitar. Thank you so much! I’m not the most experienced but I’ve wanted to learn how to play for the longest time and have done some research on guitars and this one is absolutely perfect.

    I bought one of these, about 20yrs ago, GAX-50, all black, two knobs instead of 4. I did upgrade the pickups by choice, but saved the originals. All the electronics would be considered crap, but they are all still working fine. Only problems have been the pots and socket retaining nut loosening several times, and the GND wire was in wrong location, right from new. Thing is heavier than Mom's old cast iron skillets

    Hello there. Thanks for the video. I have an Ibanez AX 220 QM from 1999. Still a great guitar for the price point.I added CTS 500K pots, and wired it up like a 50s Les Paul , and added the Orange caps. I just want to say to you that you are super Cool Guy, and I wish I lived near you. I am from New York, and the manners here suck. People suck here, and you all over there in the UK have great attributes. You are are so polite, kind, courteous, and have a great sense of expression. I would definitely hang out with you, and Jam with you. Thanks, and Never change. Have a Great One Brother/

    'you must be new to Ibanez guitars. Back in 1981 I bought my first Ibanez it's an AR50. thats it nothing fancy for the name. However it is now August 2022 and I still have that gem. I still use it and would like another one but they're a bit more than I'm allowed to spend now.

    Both the old GAX and newer AX guitars seem to be mimicking the Les Paul DC (double cut) , not the SG, which has shorter, curved horns.

    I bought an AX120 about a month ago. It needed to be set up and cleaned up plus I've had it back once for another tweak... put new strings on it and I'm very happy with it. It's tough to find a guitar this nice for $200 to $230, depending on where you buy it. If you're a beginner, the pick ups that are in it are fine... if you're a more advanced player, you may want to upgrade the pick ups.

    I imagine this is way better than the Epiphone SG E1. Because "Ibanez". Man I ordered the E1 new last summer and it was such a turd. Not even worth $100. Total buyers remorse.

    Тополь - вот что я бы хотел в этой Гитаре не иметь, подошла бы Agathis Wood или Mohagony ну хоть дешёвый аналог Nato. Гриф бы 3х Кусковый Склейки был бы Вау просто, восторг девчачий визг просто. Мне нравится эта серия Дабл Кат или что то нестандартное.
