Ibanez Beginner Guitars..
An Excellent Choice For The Beginning Guitarist

Ibanex XPT700 Xiphos

Ibanez beginner guitars are a fantastic choice for the beginning guitarist. Ibanez electric guitars have long been known for their great looks, high quality and fabulous playability. Their models range from conservative, Les Paul-like shapes to extreme Metal styles and have been a favorite of Rock and Metal players since the late 1970s.

Regardless of price point, an Ibanez electric guitar will give you high quality construction, great looks, playability and high value for your money. If Ibanez electric guitars are prized by players like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and George Benson, they are definitely good enough for us "mere mortals". Ibanez has too many models to list on a single page so I'm going to list examples of models that you can get for $300 or less, which I consider to be a reasonable amount for a beginning guitarist to spend on their first instrument.

Check out the goodies below and enjoy! And, by the way, these guitars will provide you with sound, features and playability that will last you long past your "beginner" stage of playing.
