Call into your local PMT Store today and ask about play-testing one of these excellent guitars - you won't regret it! Ibanez, said very honestly, blows away everybody else when it comes to a good cheap shorter scale guitar. There is nothing else that can touch what Ibanez is offering at the price point the GAX30 or AX120 sell for. They offer the most for the least, period. What makes a shorter scale worth owning? Fretboard material is jatoba (again, Ibanez used to say the Gio had a New Zealand Pine fretboard but now say it is jatoba like the Standard) While I prefer the sound of the AX Standard over the AX Gio, I'm keeping both guitars. I know if I parted with either, I would regret it immediately. These two axes get so many things right. But, if you really like the guitar and are doing this for the experience and just wanna try your hands at modding, go for it. We all get started that way really.

I'm honestly surprised more guitar makers don't use jatoba fretboards, as it really works nicely. What are you paying more for with a Standard?

I knew right then and there that I would be getting way more guitar for the money with the Ibanez over the Squier, no doubt whatsoever. It was an easy decision to go with the Ibanez. A need for a scale length not 25.5 inches It is totally true your fret hand does not have to work as hard when playing a shorter scale guitar. The GAX30 is an AX series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2018. It is a continuation of the model in production since 2003, but with several important changes. It is made in China as part of the entry-level GIO line.I own both the GAX30 (the white one) and the AX120 (the blue one). As I've come to find out, these guitars actually do have literal model names. The GAX30 is known as the Ibanez AX Gio, and the AX120 the AX Standard. Each guitar has a distinct tonal character. Deciding which guitar to get depends on your priorities. If you want something "hotter" that rings out power chords better, you want the Gio. If you'd rather have something with a lower output and better treble response, you want the Standard. What is jatoba? The only choice to make is whether to go 24.75" (or 24.7" in Ibanez's case) or 24.0". Your fret hand will let you know which feels for the best.
