    Great beginner guitar, would recommend
    The guitar is easy to set up, all required tools are included with the guitar. A truss rod adjustment key and bridge adjustment key. I’ve been playing the guitar for about a month now, and it sounds really nice, it holds tune really well too. The guitar came with a whammy bar and the tools mentioned above. No bag was included nor was there a tuner, however, an app tuner like guitartuna will do just fine. For a beginner, I would very much recommend this guitar.

    Buena guitarra
    Lleg antes de tiempo. Despus de un tiempo de uso, es muy buena guitarra para iniciarse. El color azul es precioso y el sonido es ms que aceptable para el precio que tiene.

    It seems a bit heavy, the thing had to be tuned, but after tuning it really is good.
    Not tuned, and thought it’s tuning not spot on, once tuned it really can give out some heavy rock. The strings are okay as are the pickups and five way switch, better than other learner beginner guitars.

    Amazing entry level guita
    For this price, it is the best. Not one of the bests but it is the only best choice.
    The finish is nice, and it is very well-made. The sound quality is excellent, which beats Squier from all aspects.

    Love i
    Very easy to play compair to my acoustic. Love it to pieces only negative is fretboard needs smoothing on the edges as it leave a mark or burn on my index finger. Was a learner only the basic chords on acoustic guitar picked the ibanez up In five mins of use was able to play all of the chords. In a week or so able to play songs like start of trapt and do advanced moves on it. So I love it. And updated the amp to marshall code 50. Oh yes lol 🙂

    My 2nd Gio
    This is my second Gio
    Great value and a really nice guitar.
    Packed with great features.
    1 piece neck (no scarf joint) 6 screw floating bridge.
    Its got that great “Strat” clacky tone.
    But having the Humbucker in the bridge gives you a wide variety of other sound options.
    Great Guitar for the beginner and the more experienced players.

    Great first guita
    This is exactly what you want in a starter guitar – not too expensive, but also not just a cheap hunk of junk. It’s a nice simple and basic strat to get you started.

    Only downside is there’s buzzing from the pickups unless your hand is on the strings (almost as if you need to ground it?). Not a big deal, since your fingers are always on the strings.

    Also I definitely recommend buying RockSmith 2014 – remastered edition to go with your guitar puchase, so you can learn and play along with some of your favourite songs. It stops “practicing” being a chore

    Amazing quality guitar at a great price.
    I got this for my son who usually plays Bass guitar. He said it’s an amazing guitar and it sounds great and very good quality. I got him an Ibanez Gio Bass guitar a couple of year ago and now the Ibanez Gio Guitar. I would highly recommend any of the Gio range.

    One Small Step,One Giant Musical Leap !
    This is the ideal first guitar,for simple,but crucial reasons.Let me state at the outset,Ibanez is my chosen brand,as a pro musician of over 50 years experience.Ibanez,with a 100 year pedigree, is the choice of guitarists worldwide,Steve Vai,Joe Satriani,Andy Timmons,Paul Stanley….not familiar yet?..listen to them,welcome to guitar heaven..I have personally bought 6 guitars just on Amazon this calendar year,and more from other sources,nuff said…my reviews are live.OK,the guitar itself….by Ibanez standards,this a beginner’s price point and choice,there are cheaper,but this is ,like all their instruments, a true musical instrument capable of making gr8 music.Quality control is excellent,and it’s easy to upgrade parts.I take this and another 12 Ibanez guitars on tour,and they never let me down…this model is a Strat beater at this price,beautiful in candy apple red,metallic,as are the blue and green versions of the GRX.Think surf colours as a reference point.
    The feel is compact,22 frets makes it easier for smaller hands and range.The chrome parts are quality,the body shape honed,easier accessibility than Fender Strat, cutaway high frets access,and body shape.
    The instrument stays well in tune,even using the whammy bar,bend notes,and still A ok.
    All styles are suited,the Strat being the traditional lead guitarist choice for shape and sound.Rock is founded in the Ritchie Blackmoreheritage of Deep Purple,listen for a pointer,gr8 with effects pedals too.
    After sales and Warranty are top class..Ibanez are dedicated to musicians,and their needs…
    This is the place to start,or show your shredding skills,Paul Gilbert stylee!…Enjoy!!….FYI…I measured my frets as medium jumbo for a slight discrepancy with factory info.

    Very pleased. Excellent build quality. Trem isn’t strong enough and puts it out of tune too quickly. Without it, it stays in tune just fine. Nice tuning pegs. Action a little high out of the box but still playable. Came better set up than a lot of guitars at this price point. Decent pickups too with a nice range of tones. Don’t regret buying for one second.

    This is one best guitars I have had. How they can make a guitar for this price is beyond me.
    The action on the fretting arm just suits me perfectly. For this price do yourself a favor Just buy it. Bill Duke

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersGreat First Guitar.
    This isn’t my first guitar, but I wanted to try a strat style guitar without spending much money to see if I’d like the feel of it. I’ve only played this about 8 hours so take this as a first impressions and I’m not an expert guitarist.

    I got the green. It’s slightly darker than the picture with a slight sparkle to it. Frets were almost perfect on the edges with no sharpness like you’d expect on a cheap guitar and the guitar came with no defects except a very small nick in the pick guard around one of the edges that I never notice in normal use. The neck is nice and smooth and makes chord changes easy.

    It stays in tune fairly well unless you use the tremolo system a lot, you’ll probably have to tune it a few times the first few days from normal use as the new strings stretch. You get the tremolo bar with the guitar. The humbucker is a bit bright if you leave the tone at maximum, but add gain and lower the tone and it sounds a lot darker (better) and rockier. The single coils sound good clean. All the pickups work find out of the box.

    Looks good, plays good and sounds good for the money. Great start point if you’re worried about spending a lot of money on learning guitar if you’re not sure you’ll stick with it.

    Got some dents and scratches/ otherwise value for money
    Guitar is good for beginners sound quality is good and is value for money tremolo bar works well and very good guitar in this price range…..you can buy fender strat hss if you budget is 10k otherwise this guitar is awesome.
    But i’m disappointed from amazon as i got some dents and scratches in the back of the body so I’m replacing it.
    And one more thing that you will get an Ibanez foam padded bag for your guitar as it is not included in the description but you’ll get it.

    Guitar tone and functions are good. This is a tough guitar which stands the test of time. Good for amateur budding artists. Gives decent performance on stage also. You need good fingers and muscles to bend the strings. Daily practice makes you get there.

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersAwesome buy
    I’m visiting India for long term from the USA, and could not bring my Washburn Parallaxe guitar with me, so thought I’d buy a cheaper guitar here. I have to say this guitar is absolutely fantastic for the price. I like it better than my Washburn. It is made in China, but even then, the build quality is very high. The guitar came nicely setup and was sparkling new, the delivery was superfast, and it came with a generic foam case with an Ibanez label even though the ad says it does not come with case. I’m used to jumbo frets and better pickups, but after getting used to the medium frets on these, I am loving them even more, something very organic about them.
    I took off one star only because the humbucking pickups by themselves are a bit trebly/tinny sounding and I might replace those at some point. So, I usually use the 4th position of the pickup selector for playing metal/rock which gives it a warmer but less output sound. It seems to work quite well with my Boss Katana Mini amp. I can get very similar tones for Satriani, Vai and such Ibanez players. The whammy bar also works well but I don’t use it very much. So, for this price, I think it is a great buy for any level of playing – just get a good amp.
