Ibanez GSR Series GSR205 Electric Bass Guitar

Pros: Good guitar for the price, good electronics, excellent playability
Cons: Lacks heft, the acoustic sound is a little thin

I've been familar with Ibanez electric guitars for many years, and have always found them to be solid, well-constructed instruments that were affordable for most all beginning and intermediate. What always stood out most about Ibanez electric guitars was...

Pros: So sexy and small, easy to handle
Cons: None at all

I’m having an affair with my guitar. She’s an Ibanez TCY20 Talman Acousitc-Electric model in Transparent Red. That gorgeous red dress caught my attention immediately. I studied her assets and compared her features to many other models. After a ...

Pros: Inexpensive, pro-fretwork and woods/hardware! Neato colors!
Cons: Scrap the pickups.......Keep the Locking Bridge clean at all times!

PlayabilityI play basically all styles of music I can, although I am not a Jazz Cat yet! The neck on this guitar is about as fast as a neck can get! Mine had jumbo frets, which were well finished and quite comfy! On Metal type stuff, or ...

Pros: A lot of guitar for the money that's fast and fun to play.
Cons: Would have preferred a Wilkinson bridge.

The landscape of non-US "Strat" style electric guitars in recent years is similar to auto industry. With the exception of the luxury models they all seem to look the same. Enter the RG-470! It is a fast action and sleek instrument that is ...

Pros: So much that I can't say!!!
Cons: none that I can think of

I've been playing music for more than half my life. Not just guitar, but many of instruments, so I'll try to keep this as close to this type of guitar as possible. My only main concern is that my model is just "RG550" and not an...

Pros: Full-bodied sound, excellent playability, not too heavy.
Cons: Somewhat difficult to adjust settings to your liking.

The Ibanez Ergodyne series is purely a genius lineup. I had been a two-year guitarist when I picked up this particular guitar as my first bass. After trying at least a dozen basses, I must concur with the first reviewer of this instrument that Ibanez,...

Pros: coiltap, tone, feel
Cons: only 22 frets

When I first heard this guitar at Guitar Center, I knew that no other $670 guitar could compare with it. In my opinion, its the best guitar you can buy for under $800. BODYS-shape d body with a lower cutaway. Mine is Transparent-Red, ...

Pros: Versatile, slim neck, 24 frets, lightweight
Cons: Pickups aren't stellar

This is the mid range RG model Ibanez makes. It is very much similar to the 570 model, except for the tremolo. The 470 has a "Lo Pro" type trem, and the 570 has an "Edge" type trem. Although the Edge tremolo is better, the Lo Pro isn't too bad....

Pros: Many, many great features, great price
Cons: none to date

I've had my RG570 for about a year and a half. I've been playing guitar for about 5 years and I've owned 2 electric guitars during that time, both Ibanez in make. I love Ibanez. Every time I go to the local music shop and pick up several guitars by...

Pros: Solid, good sound, inexpensive, attractive
Cons: Can't install Schaller Strap-Locks

This has been my primary bass since early `99, so i think I've gotten to know it fairly well. :) Mine is the natural wood finish variant, not the gloss black.

It came with a good setup direct from the factory, which is somewhat unusual given...

Pros: head turning looks, slim neck, nice bright sound, low price
Cons: thin body might not be for everyone

When I first bought this guitar on Music123.com (for $283.99) I'd never played a guitar before, but I feel after six months of playing and researching guitars on the internet, I think I know enough to write a competent review.

...

Pros: Excellent sound for most styles, nice tone and hardware
Cons: Restringing is hard, and tuning perfectly is near impossible b/c of the Floyd Rose*

The IbanezRG470 is your average strat body shape, but a little more sharp and defined, 24 Jumbo frets, Rosewood fretboard, 3 Ibanez Infinity pickups (two humbuckers, one single coil) setup in this order: Humbucker - Single Coil - Humbucker, 5 way...

Pros: Versatile tones, bass boost, tuning, neck, body shape, balance
Cons: Battery accessibility, cheap input jack, loose wiring when purchased

I have played my EDB500 for about two years. At the time I bought this bass I was looking for a second axe to keep on stage as a backup to my primary instrument -- a P-style Yamaha that I had bought in 1988. I had been through many basses over the...

Pros: Nice feel. Decent pu's, nice tremelo. Stays in tune.
Cons: It is what it is.

Let me preface this opinion by saying I am a bassist and that bought this guitar for laying down rhythm tracks.

This is a nice guitar. I don't think that Ibanez has ever really made a peice of crap, and this holds true here.

This...

Pros: amazingly versatile
Cons: few color choices

my friend and i (he is the lead guitarist in my band) have spent many hours seeking the perfect entry level guitar. obviously for each person there are different requirements and everyone has their own preferences as to body shape, style, etc. as my...
