Type of Gear: Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitars

Brand Name: Ibanez

Model: Ibanez GA5TCE Classical Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Price: N/A

Review - Please try to include as many specific details as you can:

Feature:
Not much features here... I don't like the pickup that much.. It doesn't sound that good at all. The tuners are horrible! they never stay in tune and kept creaking when I turned them.

Quality:
It's not badly made, except there were a lot of fret buzzes after a few weeks of use. The frets appeared to be uneven in length and height (fret buzzes, some were sticking out of the fretboard just a tad)

Value:
It's an average guitar for its price range... doesn't exceed the expecations of a guitar under 300

Desirability:
It looks good... but when I play it I do get second thoughts

Sound:
For the sound, I would rate it a 6 when unplugged and an 8 when plugged in. It's just not that good enough for what I thought was a reasonably priced guitar. I've owned it for almost a year now and the sound has changed into a deeper more mellow tone but the volume when unplugged has decreased too (Probably due to the smaller thin body.)

Support:
Never had to contact them, It's only a $250 guitar. Cheaper to go to your local shop.

Overall:
I wouldn't replace this one if stolen... I'd probably get a better, higher priced guitar. After a few months I outgrew it already so i'ts not a good guitar for those beginning classical.
