Ibanez IJX121 Metal Guitar Jumpstart Package

Ibanez IJX121 Metal Guitar Jumpstart Package Triple Black


A step-up guitar that delivers more metal thrash!

The Ibanez IJX121 Metal Guitar Jumpstart Package gives you everything you need to start rockin': GRG electric guitar with hardtail bridge, 15W amplifier, headphones, electronic tuner, gig bag, guitar strap, picks, and an accessories pouch. It also includes an instructional DVD with Paul Gilbert, instruction book, and chord chart.

I bought this guitar in December. It's my first guitar. It has fret buzz and the strings rattle. However, if you're also a beginner and have little to spend (or aren't sure as to your level of commitment to playing the guitar), I'd recommend this as your first guitar. The amount of equipment (the amp in particular) that you get is terrific for the price you pay.

I've had this guitar for 5 months and it's been awesome.

1. Stays in tune for at least a week. 2. I LOVE the neck and smooth frets. 3. The pickups are surprisingly very good. 4. it has a nice RG styling. and 5. It's beautiful! (the silver one at least)

But the things I would change are to get better strings, I got some Ernie Ball reg. slinkys also very nice! And some new pickups if you're planning on staying with this guitar for a while. But at least save them. The dvd was pretty much worthless for me but for a beginner, it could be very helpful. and also, that bassist can play!

Anyways, I'm moving on to an RG3EXQM1 to further my skill. This guitar moved me from a beginner, to a beginner+, then ++, to rookie, that's my rating (at least what the guy at the music shop thinks.)

But this guitar is great for beginners and some pros probably wouldn't even give this a thumbs down (maybe to the side) but not down.


Guitar is surprisingly nice for the money, my only complaint is a bit of fret buzzing. The amp is good for a beginner, nothing spectacular but it does the job well for bedroom practicing. The tuner, strap, pick, and instrument cable are all cheap quality but they work fine. I suggest replacing them. The gig bag is fine, but those are all minor stuff you'll have to replace with pretty much any package. They'll work, but you're much better off spending a few bucks.

The value is great, worth every penny and then some.

Overall, I think this is a very good package for any beginner who wants to start playing electric guitar.
