The Ibanez Gio GRG121DX-BKF Black Flat impressively demonstrates that a well playable and above all good sounding instrument does not have to cost a great deal of money. The classic RG contours of the poplar body with wide tummy-cut and slanted armrest ensure lasting enjoyment even after hours of sessions, while the slim maple neck in GRG profile with flat fretboard allows nimble and precise actions in all positions. Two proprietary Ibanez IBZ-6 ceramic humbuckers in neck and bridge position ultimately provide the official sound of rock to modern metal. Reliable hardware in the form of an Ibanez F106 fixed bridge and tuning stable Ibanez die-cast tuners completes the Ibanez Gio GRG121DX-BKF Black Flat.
The Ibanez Gio GRG121DX-BKF Black Flat offers first-class sound and playability at an outstanding price-performance ratio.

Not only does this guitar have some of the best ratings I’ve seen among the guitar community, but it has the affordability for any level of user.
Able to play comfortably in any tuning, it is the ideal guitar for heavy metal, the reason I purchased it. Sounding good clean or distorted, the versatility is beyond comprehension.
A small reach to the end of the neck, it has 24 accessible frets, over a small span, which makes it easy to hit fast riffs and licks with plenty of space and control.
A clean look; it is smooth, well built and lightweight, ideal for any build of person. As a bigger guy, it still looks full size compared to me, despite having a noticeable lightness. The light weight has not been compensated by cheaper build quality, it is a marvel to hold, showcasing the engineering brilliance of Ibanez.
The perfect guitar for anyone looking to save costs, the sound is unparalleled in it’s price range, and the bracket above.
I looked for a long time which guitar to choose and settled on this one. Ibanez is Ibanez! The store is super, the packaging is excellent, delivered to Ireland in less than a week. The sound of the guitar is excellent, it has even been tuned. The scale and neck did not have to be twisted! Looks cool! I also ordered a case, a cable, everything is at the highest level. I received a huge printed catalog as a gift, very nice! I am very happy with my purchase and will always order from here in the future! Next purchase - audio card)
I ordered this guitar part of a guitar set that come with amp+ cable. It was sent inside of a big box, this box was open in one side and the guitar box was also open inside of the big box, so the guitar was out of its original box, luck it wasn't damage.
