I know a lot of these are floating around but i am in that thinkin stage of buying a new guitar. I am thinking an Ibanez GRX20 electric guitar. Its about $150, so its about my price range. Does anyone know if it makes for a good guitar? I know Ibanez is supposed to might good quality guitars. here is a link to it. Thanks yall

well yeah i know that and i am willing to pay more, that just seemed like a pretty awesome guitar for the price. I dont really want to buy a used one, but I might if i come across a good enough deal...

No, I think Polera hit it on the head. I bought an Ibanez GIO or G10, whatever...it was around $200, and it really sucked. I tried setting it up and the action was just horrible. I thought I could tweak it to be like the higher end models. WRONG-O!! If you have more money, go with something a little higher. "You get what you pay for" really applies when it comes to guitars. You really won't regret it. It's kinda scary dropping alot of money for a guitar the first time you do it. I know when I got my Epi Les Paul it was $500, and I walked out in a daze just thinking how quickly I gave up 500 bucks. But that thing's my #1 now, my little baby....and I'm not the least bit sorry now.

i feel that way when i buy just about anything, however I think I talked myself out of it for now until I improve my playing more. I can have the best guitar in the world but still sound like crap so I'm thinking I'll just save up my money and wait, and/or do some more shopping around, until i feel i deserve one, :D . But thanks both for the input

take a close look at the bridge????
well u shoulda!!
the guitar has a fulcrum bridge, which isn't a good thing.
1 : the tremolo bar can only be used in one direction (annoying)
2 : lots of tremolo bar use would cause the guitar to go out of tune.

well , the bridge you're looking fo....... ( should be looking for ) is called
a floating bridge.

take care , this is only if u want to use a tremolo bar, otherwise get a fixed bridge.
To make a long story short, don't tell it.
