Ibanez did a good job. GAX70 is built well, the finish feels just right, the hardware is solid. While playing for a longer periods of time you can expect GAX70 to stay in tune and you will be pleased while playing, because the neck is extremely comfortable. You might find that over time metal parts will oxidize a bit, but that's normal and nothing to worry about. Ibanez did a really good job with GAX70 guitar.
