...guitar, as, before this time, Ibanez had been making replica copies of Fender Strats and Gibson Les Pauls and such. So after a meeting between Ibanez, and another guitar manufacturer, Greco, the "Iceman" design was born. Ibanez got the distributing rights for outside of Japan, and Greco for in Japan. Thats pretty much the history. So now for the guitar itself!! I picked it up second hand from ebay for about 350 quid, although you can buy them new ...
...my OPINION (after all, this is what its about, right?) the guitar is an awesome shape. Its so different yet it doesnt look like it juts out or is a bit odd like a lot of "heavy metal" guitars (See: BC Rich Warlock) to understand what i mean. It's also lightweight, especially in comparison to guitars such as Les Pauls, which are very heavy. If i had one bad thing to say about it, it would be the size of the headstock (the bit at the top for you non-musicians). ... Read review

Advantages: Great weight, tone and price
Disadvantages: maybe too heavy for some

I purchased the Ibanez AX320T a few years back and this guitar still surprises me everytime i pick it up. When i went looking for a guitar to buy i was looking for something that felt similar to my old Gibson SG but not at the same price as at the time i didn't have the funds. I looked at the range of guitars in the same price range and so many of them felt too light (Cheap wood) and a bit amatuarish, even one of the PRS's felt cheap! then i spotted ...
...similar and then found out the sound when i plugged it in! Pure Classic Rock tone oozed out of it! :) I'm pretty sure its a mahogany body which explains the nice weighty feel and the pickups are nice and beefy like the SG but also i was surprised to find you can also get a slight strat tone!! This guitar feels so nice to play, i can play full out riffed classic rock on this that could match any SG but also get that strat sound for softer numbers, ... Read review

Advantages: Great looks and sound

~Intro~ I bought my ESP AX 260 last year. I had been playing guitar for about Three years and was looking for a better quality guitar than my previous, a Crafter Strat. I had looked online and had a reasonable idea of what I wanted, and so I went down to my local guitar shop. When I got there they had a range of ESP guitars, but not the one I originally wanted. I had originally wanted an ESP F Series guitar. The guitar that they did have, and that ...

Advantages: Great guitar for the price
Disadvantages: Some items in the box are useless

...I got my tanglewood rebel 4k when I started doing standard grade music ( I think that is GCSE level in England ) and choose bass guitar as my second instrument. I already played guitar so I thought choosing the bass guitar would be an easy option and so I started to look for good deals. I then found the tanglewood rebel series on a website I thought they looked good for the price. After seeing them I then found a rebel 4k going cheap on eBay as a ...
...you don't only get the rebel 4k bass guitar you also receive a packet of tanglewood plectrums, a tanglewood guitar strap, a guitar lead, an accessories bag, an instructions sheet and a gig bag. The plectrums are medium to thick strength but I actually just use them for my electric guitar as I prefer playing finger bass. The guitar strap is made of excellent quality and has tanglewood printed on it, I normally don't use cheap/free straps as they ... Read review

Advantages: warm sound, For a range of styles, time proven dreadnaught design.
Disadvantages: Laminated back and sides

...and blues fingerstyle and the Martin suits my style of playing. The guitar has a solid spruce top and laminated mahogany back and sides giving it a very warm sound that has improved after playing. My first impressions of the guitar was how well it was built. It had no rough edges and no other noticable imperfections. When buying the guitar i was considering a Taylor 214 and a Yamaha LL. I recomend buying the Taylor equivelent if a brighter sound ...
...that Bert Jansch gets out of his, and at this price you are paying a bit more money for the Martin heritage. After a year of owning it i have found that the top of the guitar marks easily and the body has become shiny where my arm has rested. ... Read review
