QUOTE(supercolossal @ Nov 3 2007, 05:17 PM) I'm not sure if that could be a genuine Ibanez. Usually the 4 digit models are the prestige models and usually goes for Rm3k and up. And i'm also not sure if Ibanez actually has any models that are made in China. AFAIk, only Japan, Korea and Indonesia. You could be looking at some of the China pirated ibanez models, or Chibanez as some of the ppl call it  Nope, ibanez are also made in china |

QUOTE(strinq @ Nov 4 2007, 11:59 AM) are there ibanez guitars made in the US? I only know that the highest end ones are made in Japan. i guess so. cause last time i went to ibanez website to check out some GENG guitars and i think i saw it written there. but i cant comfirm that la. wasnt paying much attention to where it was manufacture, more of droling over the cool guitar  |

QUOTE(dennishew2004 @ Nov 4 2007, 03:51 PM) supercolossal, thanks alot for the detail...my friends advise me not to buy the China made guitar, but they can't give me a certain reason of why China made is bad for beginner/budget, actually i'm planning for China made guitar for beginning then later on i'll buy a high end guitar. does anybody have experienced of Squire Fender of Telecaster?Bently selling it of Rm580. i recomended Ibanez Gio series. it's perfect for metal music for begginners like me.( u r playing metal right?) anyway, i saw somebody selling ibanez gio for rm680 in the trAde zone area. |

QUOTE(dennishew2004 @ Nov 5 2007, 10:44 AM) is Ibanez Gio can compete with SX strat in sound quality??  i donno bout SX strats quality la, but if u are into distortion and metal, i say this guitar not bad,and the design is awesome. cause i just use it for stage-performance last 2 week ago. here is a review of the guitar http://youtube.com/watch?v=NZLY4XP9i4Ai think somebody is selling it cheap at lowyat tradezone(bout 700 i guess) edit: if im not wrong,my first guitar was SX strats=.= and i hate it, i trade it for a ibanez gio.but thats my opinion thou. u might hate the ibanez gio.

QUOTE(RustReaver4D1 @ Nov 5 2007, 11:52 AM) Yes. I think that's the most important question!  If it's around RM1k, you'd probably be able to scout around a few deals for 2nd-hand guitars that are not MIC... Actually SX vs Gio, I think you'd be better of going for a SX, provided that you find one that is decent. The thing about Gio is that the QC is pretty consistent, the problem is that the level of quality isn't very high at all! IIRC, there are some SXs which have quite decent build quality, but you'll have to test it out first...  yup, agreed. but is the choice of TS. so people(like me) find ibanez gio more appealing. and ibanez gio both has diffrent pickup. sx is a sigle-coil( if im not wrong). but its all judge by TS budjet. |

QUOTE(neotoxin @ Nov 9 2007, 08:01 AM) No lah.. Its an old gio bought cheap from fellow forummer here, and no, it doesnt have thunder-like neck (actually this thing called 'sharktooth inlay'  )., it has dot inlay instead. I'm trying to get the electronic working (still looking for 500k pot with longer threaded collar) and then to get the mechanical parts working (fitting a new trem - Lo-TRSII, getting string clamp, string retainer). Finally, maybe a repaint.. hmm.. still in dilemma what color scheme should i choose  wow......so much work........... msut cost alot. why dont u just buy a new guitar istead?? |
