I tired it when they had it in Bentley quite a while ago.... used the Marshall AVT150 amp.... sounds ok, but the trem just.... urgh. I don't want to bring back those memories.
It's good enough for general guitar use, but don't expect Les Paul deep tone...... |

hey guys. i'm actually thinking of getting the gax70. anyone using it currently that would like to give some 'tip-off' feedback so that i won't regret spending on something unworthy?
saw in rhapsody, priced at 728...know anywhere can get a better deal? |

I haven't personally tried the gax70 (the one with the double cutaway, almost sg-like right?) but it has been getting good reviews, I was being recommended to get it back when I started playing..
Added on November 15, 2007, 5:31 pmHowever I noticed that GAX are now made of Agathis instead of Basswood like years before, except GAX70. Just to note the difference. This post has been edited by quarantined: Nov 15 2007, 05:31 PM |

Oh wait. I read wrong.... I thought you were talking about the other one.
Forgive this old man's squinting eye...... Yes. I DID test out that guitar. It was a little thin, but a proper amp could compensate the "thinnyness" |

QUOTE(blacktrix @ Nov 14 2007, 10:53 AM) RG Series. Hands down. sorry to ask these questions..RG321MH is a good choice. Don't get a trem fro the lower models. Their tunings all SUCK but im aiming for an ibanez my self.. ..and what do u mean by...."dont get a trem for the lower models"? does this means im not suppose to get the tremelo for any models that is lower than RG321MH? plz explain thank u Added on October 27, 2008, 12:17 am QUOTE(asura_86 @ Nov 14 2007, 11:56 PM) there's the RG320, RG350, RGR320EX or if you can stretch the budget, the RGT42DX (neck thru) can someone explain to me what is if you're not into a floating bridge, there's the SA series and the RG fixed bridge... there's quite a few selection from ibanez with that budget... OT: went and test the RG1570 prestige, the playability and feel of the guitar is superb...didn't get to test the trem though... floating bridge? thank u so much This post has been edited by beastwars: Oct 27 2008, 12:17 AM |
