Description

Ibanez built the AX120MFT as part of its AX Series, a line designed around a solid-body format intended to bridge hard rock accessibility with a streamlined feature set positioned in the mid-range of the AX family.

The guitar is constructed with a basswood body and a maple neck, fitted with a jatoba fretboard bearing white block inlays across 22 medium frets. The nut width measures 43mm, widening to 56mm at the 22nd fret, with neck thickness running 20mm at the first fret and 22mm at the 12th; the fretboard radius is 305mm. Hardware is finished in chrome throughout. The bridge is a Gibraltar Performer unit with 10.5mm string spacing, paired with a Quik Change III tailpiece. Pickup duties are handled by a pair of passive, ceramic-magnet Classic Elite humbucker pickups — one at the neck, one at the bridge. The guitar ships strung with a .010–.046 set in standard E tuning across a 628mm (24.7 inch) scale.

Owners requiring replacement parts — such as bridge saddles, tailpiece hardware, or pickup-ring dimensions — or seeking setup guidance should consult a qualified guitar technician, who can cross-reference the Gibraltar Performer and Quik Change III specifications against currently available compatible components.

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.

What do you know about this one?

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.
