Back in 2002 I bought an Ibanez GSA 60 for my then 15 year old son.
It was a nice strat looking guitar, had good die cast tuners on it, nice neck and the stock pickups were decent.
He lost interest and I slapped an EMG 81 at the bridge and 2 EMG SA's for the single coils and I sold it to a really angry sounding metal player and he loved it.
