Ther is a huge movement, over just about every recent generation, among teens and adolescents to try and learn how to play guitar. Therefore, many families end up shopping around for the best quality instrument they can get at the lowest price. And, in effect, just about every line of guitars offers several beginner models. One of these such models is the Ibanez GRX20. Let's take a closer look to see how it measures up against others in its class. Features: The body of the Ibanez GRX20, like many others at the entry level, is made of basswood. Despite its well known association with cheaper instruments, it does provide a fairly good amount of sustain. There are two main finishes available with the GRX20, including blue and black. Both are high gloss and sleek looking, and both come with painted black pickguards and headstocks. For an entry level guitar, it is nice looking. The neck of the Ibanez GRX20 is made of maple, and is bolted onto the body. The fretboard, on the other hand, is made of rosewood. In an effort to save on production costs, Ibanez decided to reduce the number of frets to twenty two regulars instead of twenty four jumbos, and make the inlays pearloid dots. All of the hardware, including the tuning heads and tremolo bridge, is made of chrome. Electronically, the Ibanez GRX20 has two Powersound humbucker pickups. Also, it has a volume and tone control knob and a three way selector switch. Playabilitiy: For a starter guitar, the Ibanez GRX20 has some great features. The maple neck is nice and thin and is finished extremely smoothly, helping its player move up and down the fretboard with ease. Also, the tremolo system lets you pull of cool sounding metal maneuvers like the dive bomb made famous by Eddie Van Halen. Additionally, the body and neck are made exactly like the Fender Stratocaster. This equates to a nicely curved body, light weight, and smooth feel.

    All of his masterpieces are made out of walnut, ivory, and ebony. Although being unable to afford ivory in the beginning, Mooney’s first fifteen train carvings were made of bone and walnut. The bone was beef bone that he saved and bleached on his roof so that the dog could not chew on them. Later in his life he was able to afford ivory so he redid all of the beef bone pieces in his previous fifteen carvings.
