why GIO's and not simply GIOs?!
Pity you missed the Rgx70qa, because I own that
They're not bad, i have a grg150, sadly the fat-10 bridge sucks!!!
stay well in tune? I was thinking of buy for a student. There's thousands of styles of music out there? You only know thrash?
Maybe i was bad lucky but i bought 2 GIO’s back in the days and after not even a year, taking good care of them they start to not staying in tune, the neck bended and this for both of them. After witch i’ve been strongly advice to never buy a Gio lol, and by many Ibanez players, its sad because they often look better than high quality ones
Never been more proud to be an Ibanez GRX40 owner
Maybe get an actual guitarist to do the video
My first guitar in middle school was an Ibanez Gio. By late highschool, I had moved on to a Gibson Les Paul and in my parent's basement it stayed when I left for college. 20 years later, I just went and pulled it out for the first time as it's time for my kids to start learning. I'm really quite blown away at how nice it sounds. The fret ends are a little rough, the electronics need repair, but the guitar sounds great and it's surprisingly playable and stays in tune. I have had a lot of fun rolling down memory lane with it recently. I'm going to put P90's in it and redo the electronics and it's going to be a first guitar for each of my three daughters. Now it's an heirloom. I'd have never predicted that.
I love my GRG R330EX ????
Does it have the thin neck Ibanez is known for?
Absolutely love mine!
I am confused in pacifica 112 and ibanez grg140 this is my first guitar please someone help me i am more into metal and rock but i also want to explore blues which should i go with
Are YOU any good ? An expensive guitar does not make you better… better pickups and full sized pots can but few guysv know how to install and adjust them…
My son bought one of these. Its got a slightly fatter neck than the other Ibanez I've owned and the neck is unfinished. I really prefer that neck over the RG's I have. Fret ends are a little sharp but its nice for the money for sure.
Great, thanks. God Bless you ^-^
I want to say this looks and sounds exactly like an ad. It makes me hard to want to buy something when you find a video that is basically an ad read for it.
i got the black night model, is such beautiful and comfortable, ur best option if ure starting to play and u want some decent guitar, u get more than u pay
Thoughts of the Grgr120ex?
Had one, have one, only replaced pickups (bought it used, pu's didn't work), 7 years and going, plays extremely well.
I got the GSAGO, never regret about the decision
Gios are amazing.
America doesnt get the 40s. Complete bs
Brush your teeth
I've been buying affordable used electric guitars to modify and customize at pawn shops and I've always been into Mexican Fenders. I recently starting picking up used Squiers for $100 or less when I can find them, especially into the offset Fender stuff but I picked up a couple Ibanez Gio guitars this week because I liked the fact they were hardtail super strat style setups with dual humbuckers and I'll be honest and its just my opinion but I swear I think the Ibanez Gio guitars feel like they're higher quality feeling guitars than the Squiers. Obviously they're comparative to the Squiers I've bought price wise but for the $70 and $90 I paid for these Gio guitars I think the quiality and build surpass the Squier guitars I've bought recently.
any guitar will last forever if it isnt made up of balsa wood. its how you take care of your axe and keep it shiney and sharp. enough said of durability of guitars. thats such a lame sales pitch as if someone is going to smash it on the ground like a rockstar for no reason to test how long it will last.
The 7 string GIO is my favorite out of all of them
❤ Such a wonderful review, covering all points in the shortest possible time.
I have a GSA 60. And I love her. But, I'm dying to know what they're really capable of.
Can you tell me the width of the neck the reason why is i need a smaller neck because my fingers are a bit shorter. Im in the process of finding the right guitar for me but none tells about the width of the becks. Please i would appreciate it
Reanna Vista
Rutherford Place
very nice
Having only bought Squire …………..my first Ibanez put paid to that. far far better product.
Should i go with gio series or jackson js11 someone plz sggest me something
Hank Marvin sound?
Of the 100 or so electrics I've owned absolutely NONE of them stayed in tune as well as the GIO I owned. It was built like a tank; one of the most solid guitars at any price I've ever owned. If the neck had been as comfortable as my Yamaha I would still own it now. As it is I'm considering getting another one even though I'm cutting back.
i own a AX120. The bridge pickup is noisy.
ibanez used to make the EX serices and the gio series was 4 kikds.
Great video bro! What’s the white HSS 24fret one called? Does it come in black?
Im not a beginner but I'm kinda poor, can I get one anyways?
It is funny that almost every guitar demo on youtube is literally showcase the sound of the guitar with heavy distortion.
With that level of distortion a toy guitar might also sound similar to a premium guitar.
I wish they show case clean signals without any effect when they review guitars
Bought that Reddish Blackish GIO with Satin Black finish, a beautiful instrument and has aggressive metal tone LMAO
This a great review! ????????????????????playing as well!
I still have my Gio that I purchased in 1998. I switched the bridge pickup to a SD Invader many years ago and that’s it. Obviously, it doesn’t feel as good as a nicer, more expensive guitar but I just recently put on a new set of strings and it is still fun to play as it was when I got it ???????? I’m never getting rid of it
Always really like Ibanez guitars and so I spent my first official paycheck on an all white, 7-string Ibanez with matching amp. I love this guitar and really helps get anger out lol. I would highly suggest if metal is your genre
