Guitar Center's Guitar-A-Thon is in full-swing for Prime Day and there a pair of Ibanez six-stringers that are vying for your attention.

Both the Axion RGAR61AL and RG450EXB electric guitars represent either end of the spending scale for most people, but while both are equally capable of speed and heavy tones there's also tonal variation available here that can aid you in a number of sonic tasks.

First up is the beautifully-finished Axion, which we have to say, looks adorable in Black Aurora Burst, has been designed to push your playing further than ever before with the likes of a Nitro Wizard 5-piece Panga Panga/Walnut neck, Sub Zero treated frets and Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups.

Quite the act to follow, but the RG450EXB is more than up to the task courtesy of the Quantum pickups in an HSH configuration and maple neck with bound jatoba fingerboard, all wrapped up in three finishes of yellow, pink and metallic blue.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
