Ibanez Gio GRGA120QA - Transparent Black Sunburst

This thing plays smoother out of the Box than my 90's RG. The guitar was set up perfectly with no bad or sharp frets and super low action. There is no hint of fret buzz and this thing plays as effortlessly as a more premium Ibanez. It is super light, but not cheap feeling.The Bridge pick-up has a big, lush tone that is on the clean side, but sounds great when you add some gain. The tuners are good quality, better than the tuners on my Wolfgang standard. I also love that you can split the neck pick-up into a single coil, it gives this guitar a lot of versatility in tone. Volume and tone knobs are perfect, slightly loose, but not too loose and the pickup selector is in a perfect spot and does not feel cheap. Keeping this thing in Tune right out of the box was a bit of a hassle at first. If you think it is going out of tune on you, it is not, the Low E and A strings get hung up in the plastic nut and put the entire guitar out of whack, just give them a yank, and Boom, the guitar is back in tune. My advice on a cheaper bridge like this is to get a heavier tremsprings so it comes back to rest on the body and does not float, this will fix the issue with the strings getting hung up in the nut after bends and bar dives. After that it is super reliable and stays in tune. The Gio is a very versatile guitar with decent hardware. You could upgrade to a seymore DunconHB-102 in the bridge if you want to dig a little more sustain out of it. If I had one quibble, this guitar is that notes die off after about 6 seconds on high gain., . otherwise, This is the perfect practice guitar for a beginner intermediate, or even an advanced player who wants to get a taste of the Ibanez sauce without dropping a ton of money.

My grandson has been learning to play guitar and has been practicing for several years now and I have seen his progression. I knew it was time for and upgrade so for his 16th birthday I got him this Ibanez Gio GRGA120QA Transparent Black Sunburst Guitar. He absolutly loves it and wont put it down. It sounds great and looks great with the high output infinity R pickups. The neck is Maple with New Zealand Pine Fingerboard. It is perfect for beginner or intermediate guitar enthusiast. The color and sound is beautiful and it stays in tune after long hours of practice and play. I highly recomend this Ibanez guitar !

I love it! I had a very nice Ibanez Artist guitar decades ago but it was stolen. I couldn't afford a high priced guitar and hoped this lower priced version from Ibanez would be as easy to play as my old Artist. It did not disappoint! I neglected playing for decades and over the years got weaker and have some arthritis. This guitar keeps calling to me and I'm getting stronger and better again!

This guitar is perfect. The one shown is slightly different than the one I got but It is way better than I expected. The sound of the guitar has a lot of character and with how the bridge is set up it can feel how you hold the guitar and def makes you feel connected to what you're playing. I can explain well enough how much character this guitar has. I highly recommend as a budget guitar for pros or as a solid beginners guitar. I also recommend getting the rushhead max pocket headphone amp with it.

I primarily play on 7 and 8 string guitars but really wanted a 6 string for covers and simplicity. Great value for the money. You can upgrade this guitar significantly very easy too by putting in some better pickups.

If you want a cheap guitar that plays like a dream, your search is over. It came brand new in the box, plastic peels intact. The quality is top notch, and it’s gorgeous! Right out of the box it plays super smooth. My only issue is the neck being a little thick, but that’s just a personal preference thing. Ive been playing 15 years and would highly recommend this to anyone, new people especially since the price is right.

I had an rg120 as a teen. This is the exact same but pretty darn close. Oh the Nostalgia. A great guitar for a beginner and a darn good one for the rest of us.

Little harder to change strings

Bellissima chitarra ibanez per il rapporto qualità prezzo. Pickups versatili per diversi generi musicali. Si suonano tranquillamente i tasti fino al 24°, grazie all'incavo del body.

NICKEL !!!!
