Ibanez GRG170DXL Left Handed Electric Guitar, Black Night
This is a great guitar, ideal for beginners who want a good guitar for a very confortable price. I personaly recommend this guitar for people who want to play Metal, Hard-Rock, etc. The guitars sound is very good, it really stands out because this is a cheap guitar. The neck is very confortable, and its ideal for the ones who like to play fast riffs, but its great for slow riffs also, very confortable. The tremolo is not the best Ive ever seen, but its fairly good. In general its a great guitar with great sound, it stays in tune and Im sure any guitar player will be satisfied with it.

Thats my first guitar and I have it for 4 years and it has never let me down! Not for professional use, but its great for beginners and for the intermediate level! In my opinion, the best low-range guitar! Thank you once more Ibanez!

This was my first electic guitar! Now Im 18 and I buy this guitar one year ago. I play in a coverband and on this guitar, you can play every music genre that you want! The 5-way picks on this guitar are very good, and the colour (Black Night) is very cool and casual! The price of this guitar is very confortable for beginners! Thats the thing that make this guitar very good and cool for beginners. I buy this guitar here, and the service of Musicstore is the best service Ive ever got! Every little thing that I need, I buy it by Musicstore! The best music store in Europe! In one word, GREAT!

The sound of the guitar sounds amazing, especially for its low price! I always loved the HSH setting, giving you more possibilities of sound.
I would recommend changing the strings right away, because the strings on my guitar seemed rusty near the head of the guitar, but after applying fresh strings the guitar sounded much clearer and better.
The design itself is also quite nice, the wood of the neck feels very smooth, which -in my opinion- is quite nice especially if you've been playing for a few hours.
One minus point would be the whammy-bar: I've experienced several problems with that. After using and applying the whammy bar multiple times, it becomes loose and doesn't stay in place, which bothered me and the strings detuned quite easily. However I didn't really use the whammy-bar all too much, so it didn't really matter most of the time.
Furthermore I owned this guitar as my first guitar a year and a half ago: as a first guitar this is an excellent choice for people who are people who are motivated to begin playing the electric guitar.
