I couldn't be happier.Hope anyone who is currently contemplating purchasing their first electric guitar would get on board and not be left behind. :)You wouldn't regret it.As a frequent online purchaser , when evaluating a product, I always rely what reviews others have written, good and bad. Pay attention to the star ratings, they matters. This makes it easy for my product selection and cuts down the buying process.As long as companies makes quality products and customer wants a fair price I feel its a good marriage.I would highly recommend the Ibanez Brand electric guitar to anyone looking to invest in a product that would last a very long time and feel happy about their purchase and future product enjoyment

Took the guitar out if the box and my first impression was, "this was supposed to be a quilted top". But, it was very inexpensive so maybe the quilting is very subtle. I get it under some good light to inspect it. There is absolutely no discernable quilting to the finish at all. The color is nice if you just wanted a purple guitar. But, that wasn't what was pictured or described. Otherwise the guitar was fine for the price range. I am sending it back though and getting something different. AMS has already issued the RA and shipping label within 8 hours. Great customer service as akways.

The transparent green finish is gorgeous but that's not as important as playability. The guitar was playable right out of the box after getting it in tune. I do need to change the strings out for better quality and adjust the action a bit, but, aside from that, this guitar is amazing for the price! I couldn't recommend it enough to both beginners and seasoned players.I've noticed some people complaining about tone and have to wonder what amp they're using because my guitar sounds great. So far, I've ran it through 3 different practice amps: the Fender Mustang 1v2, the Marshall MG 15CD, and the Pignose 7-100R. Got good sound out of all 3 with no issues whatsoever after fiddling around switches and knobs and whatnot, which you have to do anyway with any guitar. ... MoreThe transparent green finish is gorgeous but that's not as important as playability.

The Ibanez GIO series (I now have a bass and a guitar) are incredible for the money, if you are a beginner then this is the guitar for you, much better than equivalently prices guitars (won't get into smearing brands). The guitar playable, looks nice (even for an Ibanez, the one reason I never owned one all these years, was the aggressive styling) and had good tuning stability, despite having a standard tremelo arm. One thing I would say is, I have done a fair bit of my own set up work (I have learned how to do this over the years), so if you're buying your first guitar go in store and ask for a set up. The factory set up was poor. Having said that, I bought a 2k guitar from a massive brand not long ago and the factory set up was even worse.

The factory set up was poor. Having said that, I bought a 2k guitar from a massive brand not long ago and the factory set up was even worse. A set up is simple and as this price, you could buy from GAK and pop into a local guitar shop with a tech and you should pay around £20-50 for a full set up. If you're a beginner, you probably won't even notice the ser up issues, I am quite hard to please and I am honestly shocked at the quaiity Vs price. Pick ups sound lovely, broad pallete, maybe a little low output, not much hum from the single coil. A really good way to learn how to play and sculpt tone. Definitely the best beginner/budget guitar have ever seen of played.

For a very inexpensive guitar, this guitar is way better than the comparable Fender Squier at the same price point. I bought one of those for my kids and have to say that this guitar (bought for me) is so much better than the Squier in every way. From the finish to the playability, this guitar is so fun to play and sounds fantastic. In fact, this is my go to guitar to just grab and start playing. It hangs on my living room wall for easy access. I hook it up to my Line6 Spider V MKII and it sounds like a $4000.00 Guitar. This guitar was set up and only needed a slight intonation adjustment on the Low E string. Everything else was dead-on!You will not be disappointed if you purchase this guitar for you or your kids.

Amazing bang for buck!

Just wow!The quality of this guitar it far above it's price tag. It feels quality as soon as you get it out of the box and the look is just as good. It tunes well and stays in time after a good thrashing. Sounds wise over been able to get some amazing clean tones through to rock and metal!If you're looking for a beginner or budget guitar, you won't be disappointed with this guitar at this price. Quality at a great price!

Amazing guitar for the price!

Overall:I read some of these negative reviews and can't understand what they're talking about. This guitar is probably the best guitar for $200 I ever played , right out of the box it was setup perfectly. All I did was tune it , I've even got the same strings it came with. Which I normally change whenever I get a new guitar. The tuners are unbelievably tight , this guitar barely goes out of tune even if it has been sitting for weeks. Also I never attached the whammy bar , so I can't speak on that throwing it out of tune. Since I have over a dozen guitars I don't usually play it daily , but when I do it always makes me glad I purchased it. This is a very versatile guitar , I play mostly metal and this thing shreds. But I also play blues and it sounds just as good as ... MoreOverall:I read some of these negative reviews and can't understand what they're talking about.

Since I have over a dozen guitars I don't usually play it daily , but when I do it always makes me glad I purchased it. This is a very versatile guitar , I play mostly metal and this thing shreds. But I also play blues and it sounds just as good as my custom strat. I bought an Epiphone SG special in the same price range and let's just say the setup is night and day , the tuners absolutely sucked , "already replaced them" and the intonation was off. It was a mess , I've already put it on Craig's list and bought a G400 Pro instead , 10x better quality and setup , but I digress. I've got many high priced guitars but always go back to the GRX , the playability and neck feels so comfortable to play. The only thing I'm going to do eventually is throw in a Seymour Duncan humbucker and I'm definitely keeping this guitar. I don't know how Ibanez can sell this for $200 and keep the quality , but I'm certainly not going to complain. Whether you're a beginner or experienced this guitar delivers. Definitely will be purchasing another Ibanez down the road.

Awesome guitar for the price!

A good balanced guitar, you can play all genres. The sound quality for its price range is very decent. The guitar stays in tune even with the intensive playing. The neck is very comfortable and pleasant. The 22 fret assessable without problems.Great guitar for a beginner!Delivery time 15 to St. Petersburg, Russia. Everything is in great condition.

Awesome value and a great guitar

Sound:Does not have the cleanest sound due to the picks. Putting the right pedals and effects in line and cranking up the distortion makes it an awesome beginner / intermediate metal guitar.Features:For the price the materials feel great.Ease of Use:It sounds great on my Fender Champion 20 or Positive Grid Spark amp. Not the cleanest tone but a great metal sound and extremely easy to play.Quality:It feels made well, especially in the $200 range. I feel like this is one I'll have for years and once I get better definitely see this is a good platform for future mods.Value:This guitar is excellent value and at this price an amazing guitar.Manufacturer Support:I have not dealt with Ibanez.The Wow Factor:I must admit the aesthetic.

It's extremely hard to find good looking purple color-based guitars. If I could dream up what I want a guitar to look like this is it. It helps that its quality is awesome.Overall:I love this guitar. Purple is my favorite color and a hard one to find good guitars in. It looks great. It feels great and I have yet to find any significant issues with it. No problems with the frets or fret buzz. Action is easy and low. It sounds great with my Positive Grid Spark amp. The pickups sound great. The HSH setup is very versatile. Not the greatest with clean tones like my Stratocaster, but amazing with the right effects.

Ibanez Gio GRX70QA-TRB Set

I've bought the set offered by MusicStore for my daughter so she can have a guitar of her own to start playing. Although I was the first one to try it. I was shocked by the sound of the guitar. Not that it looks amazing it sound amazing as well. I highly recommend it.The staff from MusicStore are also great. I've messed up by buying it without making an account and the guys helped me correct some mistakes I've made. Thank you again!
