22 boxes
Frets mediums
Agate body
Short Stop II bridge with d-tuner allows the tuning down of Mi in D (E D) a hand (it seems that it is possible to descend to Si), useful or gadget? I will return later.
2 humbucker pickups PSND1 NSDP 2 +
2 tone knobs + 2 volume (1 micro)
I love the cover of this guitar ("Greystone" mat) that I find very good quality. Even if the handle is not very fast next to a series Sabre (but let's be serious price is not the same), it is flat which still allows a certain ease of play wood handle is dry enough, I re-fed once or twice a year he found a beautiful original color.
Contrary to some stress I have no problem balancing (maybe the strap or the fact of playing loud enough ...). I also note its light in front of the Lag Roxanne ( https://guitare-electrique-solid-body-divers.lag.audiofanzine.com/produits/index%2Cidproduit%2C117238%2Cmao%2Clag_roxanne_rx100.html ) similar in shape and in the same price range.
UTILIZATION
I bought this guitar on a whim to look.
<p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>I went to an Epiphone SG but after three months of waiting, I got fed up of waiting so I took a catalog and I opted for a GAX 75.</span>
I do not deny that I was very septic about the use of the famous D-tuner. I thought that in any case if it was not effective, I take it off once in two screwdrivers. But to my surprise this little gizmo is very reliable: it gives "normal" in E will toggle the D-tuner, is given in D by the adjustment screw at the base of D-tuner, and voila (c is slightly longer than that when changing string).
The shape of the guitar is very user friendly compared to a standard RG. Access to acute is simply top.
SOUNDS
The neck pickup sorely lacking record, I never use it so I cut the volume of it.
The bridge pickup comes out good sound in clean although one suspects it is not provided for this purpose. In distortion it is possible to "spit sound fat enough" with a good record in rhythm. For fans of tapping technique or artificial harmonics (or whistled) it will go through a change in the micro to get something more easily as the original ones are unclear.
OVERALL OPINION
In summary, with GAX 75 it was worth its price: a good finish but a sound that, while very good original full, can largely be improved by a change of microphone. For nearly five years since I use it and no complaints.
For a beginner who wants to Ibanez, the great advantage of this guitar is the fixed bridge unlike many Ibanez models mounted Floyd.
So far I have not seen anyone play with this model and it seems to me that it no longer produced. May soon be a collector's model! : D
