Ibanez built the GA1 as an entry point in its Classical Series acoustic range, configured as a 1/2-size classical body intended for smaller players or early-stage learners working within the classical guitar tradition.
The top is spruce, with meranti back and sides and a maple bridge. The neck — profiled to Ibanez's GA specification and constructed from nyatoh — carries a nandu wood fretboard with 18 frets and a flat radius. The nut is plastic at 43mm width, the saddle is plastic, and the factory string gauges run .0285/.033/.041/.030/.036/.044 with 11.6mm string spacing at standard E-to-E tuning. Scale length is 530mm. Chrome classical tuners handle intonation, and the soundhole is finished with a classical water decal rosette. The finish is amber high gloss. Neck dimensions measure 20mm thickness at the first fret, 21mm at the seventh, with an overall body length of 12 inches and a maximum body depth of 3 3/8 inches.
Owners seeking replacement parts — bridge, nut, saddle, tuners, or strings compatible with a 530mm scale classical instrument — or requiring neck or fret work should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician experienced with classical-style instruments.
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
