Its Aqua Burst finish and reversed sharktooth inlays make it a stylish choice for players seeking professional quality and standout aesthetics in an affordable package.

## Description

The GIO series was developed for players who want Ibanez quality in a more affordable package. Not only do they look and play better than everything else in their price range, but their rigorous inspection, set-up and warranty is the same as Ibanez's more expensive models.

Review: Great instrument indeed! - Why are people complaining about the tone? Ibanez, unlike other brands, gives you a controlled distorted sound not found on most other brands. Most other brands just rain down noisy distortion. An excellent guitar for shredders, though can't say much about chord players since we only play fast riffs. Is a little bit too expensive though, but then again, you get rich quality.
Review: A Very beautiful guitar - Fret ends are filed down properly. Action was good as it is and they have also included two Allen keys, for truss rod and saddle height adjustment. The color is really bright blue in front with a Rorschach pattern and reddish brown in the back with wood grain pattern. Things to note: 1. The pickups, with covers look good but are just ordinary passive pickups, not very high end. 2. The headstock and neck are inverted, so the tuners are below and tuning the guitar can be tricky. 3. The position of the guitar cable connector is slightly awkward for playing sitting down, as your thigh can keep hitting and detaching the cable. Its better to use a guitar cable with right angled connector and have it looped through the guitar strap (you might need to buy those too). Between the Stratocaster-like guitar with single coil pickups that I already have and this one, there is a huge difference in feel, weight and tonality. As I play only in home on a modelling combo amp, for me the two guitars complement each other and are enough for many styles of music.
