    welcome to IGT?????

    wat kind of music do you play?? wat proc or pedal do you have? and do you need the amp for bedroom practice or band practice?????? all these would influence your decisions and our advices.......howeva Greg Bennett Avion Av1 is good for beginners.........i personally feel it's way better than Ibanez's......and atleats you get a les paul look.....that's my opinion......

    both are fine for beginners.....but i am biased towards the avion.......u can get it from bhargavas in Daryaganj...........

    well bhargavas darya gang it will be then wht do u think of rajmusicals in patel nagar though
    and what woul be the price for both of them (if u might know) though i personally want ibanez as i am highly influenced by joe satriani

    Joe Satriani plays on an Ibanez JS1200 or similar series guitars......grg170 doesn't match up to the 'reputation'.............low end Ibanez aren't that good when compared with the make, sound, etc......Greg Bennett on the other hand gives you better sounds and better quality....having said that, it's the amp and processor which mainly influence your tone.........bth are for around the same price Av1 was around 11k when i last saw it....and grg170 is for around 12 or 13k.........

    and one more thing Ibanez has a non locking tremolo system in place i guess.......the Greg bennett Avion Av1 is a fixed bridge....and the latter is always better for beginners.........

    I feel for you (as a begginner in electrics)
    Ibanez GRG 270 (guitar) - 14500/-
    Zoom G2 (processor) 4500/-
    Marshall MG 15W (amp) 4000/-

    triad would do good, not the best. You can switch over to other serious stuff later after you get a hand on these.

    Bad tone, bad value for money. Roland Cube 15X = better tones, bigger speaker (louder volume), better features at more or less the same price. I unfortunately bought an MG10 because I had no idea back then, and this was the cheapest I knew >_>

    +1 for the amp suggestions...thnx to these guys here even i was bout to buy the lo end marshall then opted for roland cube 15x @ the last minute!........its the best amp you can get for that price.....loud spkr,onboard eq,four inbuilt distortions!,aux input to cnct mp3 players,etc..headphn jack!..........
