Ibanez GA Series GA6CE Classical Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

Sounds great amplified. Decent set up out of the box.

This is a remarkable axe! This is my first Ibanez and I bought it based on Ibanez's reputation for their electric guitars so I knew this would be good. It takes patience changing the classical strings but a tiny pamphlet is included, illustrating how to change and 'secure' the strings. I purchased mine in '05 and I'm not surprised to see this at a 'Top Rated' status. It's very light weight adding comfort whether lap playing or standing. The open head stock is very attractive and stays in tune just fine. The neck is wide & flat, typical for a classical guitar but still comfortable to play. The on-board equalizer/volume control adds a nice touch to your tone. The 9-volt battery is easy to change, too. It's very light weight adding comfort whether lap playing or standing. This is my first cutaway acoustic so it's awesome, allowing plenty of access to the high notes.

This is an excellent choice for a beginner, and beats other guitars in its class (e.g. Cordoba, Yamaha) by a long stretch. Not the most acoustically complex sound and the electronics are just ok (not great), but on workmanship alone it doesn't get better at this price.

I bought my ibanez 4 weeks ago, and let me tell you that I fell in love right away the amazing sound the design and the price . This is my 1st new guitar and like I told you I am in love my wife is jealous cause now I pay more attention to my guitar lol!

This guitar has a good overall acoustic sound and I like that it has a truss rod adjustment, but the electronics shorted out and ate several batteries before I gave up trying to do some repair on it (I can't get to where I think the problem is). It also had prickly fret ends that had to be filed down to make it comfortable to play, and I replaced the cheap plastic bridge with synthetic bone, which vastly improved the sound. Five of the six tuning keys work fine, but the B string turnkey goes thru a very stiff travel spot as you turn it. Overall it was a huge disappointment, and I will be donating this guitar to a local charity just to get it out of the house. Much to expensive to have this many issues. Two stars, only because the acoustic tone is pleasant.

This is my second nylon string guitar so I spent a long time in the acoustic room looking for the price range ($300-$600). My original interest was a Takamine guitar, but comparing the sounds and fill of this Ibanez, considering the price I have not regret . To me this was the best guitar for me sounded good felt good and I was really surprised at the price.
