Review: Nice guitar - Awesome guitar. It sounds great for a beginners guitar.
Review: Love this guitar! - I bought this as my first Electric Guitar and honestly I couldn't be happier with it. The sleek, black look and feel of it, is just so metal. With the right amp, it sounds incredible and overall it's very comfortable, feels great to hold and the strings aren't hard to press down. Easy to play.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this legit? I see even guitar center has these for pre order still there not available**
A: The few for sale here should be legitimate, but you can check the details to be sure. On the side of the page, it shows who is shipping and selling the item. Many of the authorized Ibanez dealers sell through Amazon, so I believe these are legitimate!

**Q: Does the grgr131EX really weigh just 1 pound as the description states❓**
A: It’s definitely more than a pound. Closer to 7 lbs or so. That’s clearly an error on amazon’s listing end. I’ve been playing guitar for 23 years, & have never seen a one pound guitar haha.

**Q: What color is the back of guitar ?**
A: The back of the neck is the natural color of the wood.

**Q: cuanto pesa la guitarra? porque en la descripción dice una libra**
A: Definitivamente no pesa una libra probablemente unas 7 a 8 libras pero si te puedo decir que es muy buena guitarra de mis favoritas!!! Suena muy bien y se ve súper bien !! Yo la huso con cuerdas 10/52 drop c muy buena!!!!
