My New Guitar! A Ibanez SA120

by AJ on May 4, 2009

     I got a new electric guitar! Or at least I have a new guitar, I got it a few weeks ago but haven’t gotten a chance to write about it. It is a Ibanez SA with two AXIS humbuckers in it (6 and 5) . It is the 120 model so it has the (I should say “the best”) dark mahogany stain finish. It has 22 frets and a rosewood fretboard. Another of my favorite features is the bridge and whammy. I almost didn’t buy it because there was no lock on the top of the nut to keep it in tune after a lot of whammy. This bridge sort of floats, it has a very light touch to use the whammy and (for some reason I can’t really explain) it doesn’t go out of tune unless you REALLY use it a lot. Also, I like the head. I am used to the Fender head on my silvertone copy of a stratocaster. When you play at the top of the neck (Bb F bar chord, etc.) it is hard to find a good hold with your thumb.  The head on this guitar has a almost carved groove to put your thumb! Not a huge thing but I like it.

If you want to know more ( specific specs. etc.) you can go here.

I would also like to anounce that I am no longer doing the tab tusday posts. There wasn’t enough feedback and it is on a bad day for me to do posts.
