Ibanez GRG121DX-BKF GIO Electric Guitar – Black Flat | Poplar Body, GRG Maple Neck, Purpleheart Fretboard, Dual IBZ-6 Humbuckers, F106 Fixed Bridge, 24 Frets

A Great guitar!

When the guitar arrived it had clearly been set up to a very high standard. It is very easy to play with a low action and no fret buzz at all. Ibanez clearly care about their reputation when they take this amount of care with their budget guitars. The neck is very slim and the fretboard is flat which lends itself to string bending without the choking that can occur on guitars with rounded necks. While it has two humbucking pickups and no single coil, position 2 of the selecter switch enables only one of the coils in the bridge pickup. Position 4 enables a single coil in each of the pickups. Posistions 1,3 and 5 work as you would expect with bridge pickup, bridge+neck and neck respectively. So you have the best of both worlds and there is a lot of variation and a huge difference between the humbucking and single coil positions. I think this guitar has a beautiful contemporary look and is unbeatable at this price. I think it would be perfect for beginner or intermediate players.

Daughters first electric guitar, not too heavy, nice sound to it & looks the business. She’s only a beginner so didn’t want to spend too much, this was real value for money on the Black Friday deal. Paired it up with a fender 10G amp & it sounds great.

Only thing I don't like is that after I'd thrown all the boxing away I notice the bottom of the guitar is chipped! I was too eager to play it I forgot to do the full check over. BUT the good news is that I can return for free and get a replacement so all good. Honestly So surprised at the quality of this geet, sounds fantastic.

I've had the guitar for 3 months now and have played for about an hour most days during this time. As a complete beginner, the guitar looks and feels amazing when you first take it out of the box. Luckily mine had no cosmetic issues at all which was a relief. However there is clearly some setup required, and this will be challenging for beginners like myself. I was having some issues with fret buzz, and after trying to adjust the bridge and neck, am still getting a bit of buzz on one of the strings. i will need to get the setup done professionally - so an extra cost to consider for other beginners looking at this guitar. (this is probably true for all budget guitars though) Also the guitar does go out of tune quite quickly, some days by quite a bit. But it's not a major issue if you have a tuner. Overall a good guitar for the price and i'm glad i went with this one, but definitely something that will need to be upgraded once you get a bit more serious about playing. I'm already eyeing up my next one!

Fabulous guitar I bought it as a present for my nephew and he absolutely loves it. He plays like a dream now.👍

Purchased as I needed a good guitar that handles lower tunings and this did not disappoint, this is a great guitar for a player of any level but particularly those into rock, metal and that scene. The pickups are incredible, I had a little bit of doubt going into purchasing but said I can buy some seymour’s And fit hem in however this was not needed the IBZ-6 are great. Very satisfied

Only down fall was the box was damages , a big gash in the side , luckily Guitar un touched , but the inside was not very well packed

Güzel paketlenmiş elinize sağlık(koli içinde bez de olsa bir kılıf olsaydı) teşekkürler kolay gelsin

Chitarra fantastica sia nella forma e nel colore, molto appropriata per principianti e per chi sa già suonare e cerca una chitarra come muletto. Essendo possessore di una les paul ero in cerca di una chitarra più appropriata al sound del heavy metal, all'inizio sono rimasto spiazzato, essendo abituato al suono "grosso" della les paul sembrava che questa chitarra facesse fatica a suonare, ma poi ho realizzato che produce il sound giusto per il metal, prediligendo onde medio alte alle basse della les paul. Oltretutto è molto comoda da suonare, grazie alla tastiera praticamente piatta e a 24 tasti facilmente raggiungibili. Inoltre ha una grande versatilità grazie al selettore a 5 posizioni che permette di avere timbriche sia classiche dell'hambuker, sia con pickup splittati in single coil.

la guitare est de bonne qualité mais je n'aurai pas dis non a un vibrato sur ce model

Ich kann guten Gewissens jedem der mit Gitarre spielen anfangen oder wieder einsteigen möchte diese Ibanez empfehlen. Sie ist sehr gut eingestellt, die Halskrümmung passt und sie ist sogar Oktavrein (Bundrein) was nicht oft selbstverständlich ist. Auspacken, Stimmen und los gehts! Ich habe nach ca. Drei Wochen die Saiten getauscht, die original Saiten sind ok, sollte man aber wenn man viel spielt schnell tauschen. Mit einem 10er Ernie Ball Satz ist die Gitarre spiel und Sound technisch ganz weit oben und das für den Preis. Ich denke das die Gio Serie eines der besten Gitarren im günstigen preissegment ist. Gerade für Anfänger durch den schmalen Hals perfekt zu spielen und zu lernen. Zudem sieht sie auch sehr gut aus!

Got it 3 early. This guitar feels and plays great. Thank you!
