5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fabulous Guitar.
This guitar is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. I love everything about it, it feels great, it's built well and ready to play out of the box. Playability is fantastic, no buzzing and it's great for both experienced players as well as beginners.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love this guitar - exceptional value!
Great guitar for the money. Sure, you can spend thousands on guitars, but for 99% of people, why? This plays well, the switch and knobs are solid, and stays in tune well. The mat black with red looks very nice - accent colors on neck look great. Guitar has good weight, not too heavy, not too light. Love this guitar!
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Guitar
This is a very nice guitar for the price range. It arrived 2 days earlier than expected, it was well packaged for protection. The finish was flawless, and it really is a beautiful guitar. Took it out of the box, tuned it and it played beautifully. The 5-way switch is a plus. The action is excellent, and the intonation is excellent. I normally play Fender Strats but wanted to try an Ibanez and I can say, even though it is a beginner guitar, I'm not disappointed. I recommend this guitar to anyone starting out who is looking for an inexpensive guitar that plays and sounds great.
4.0 out of 5 stars Just Great Out Of The Box
This is an hidden gem in my opinion, setup out of the box was good. I would have given it 5 stars, but the nut was tight around the strings. I had to open the gaps a little to stop binding. As for the pickups, I found the bridge pickup rocks. Great for rock and metal tone and with a high gain amp I also got great harmonic response. The neck was warm but muddy, but sounded ok. This is one of the best starter rock guitars that I have found. The rear or bridge pickup is f-spaced so it has just little bit more string spacing around bridge, good for beginners. Neck is fast and easy to play, and I have short fat fingers. I picked this up for gigging, and I changed out the pickups and did a setup on it. Stays in tune not that the nut was cut, light weight and easy on the back. Pods feel good and tight with no noise when you turn the tone or volume knobs. 5 way switch also feels great with strong clicks, and gives lots of options when playing. This is now my main go to guitar now, even in my home studio for recordings. The finish on the guitar also looked and felt great, I could not find any bad spots.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Very pretty guitar and it plays great. I didn't do any setup at all because it arrived perfect for how I like a guitar setup to be. The neck isn't super thin but more like a thin "c" I guess. Frets are fine with no sharp ends or sprouts. It stays in tune okay and so the tuners and bridge are okay. The knobs and switches are fine. The pickups sound pretty good but I may replace the bridge but that is a matter of preference. There's nothing wrong with the way they are.Overall, this is an excellent guitar at this price point. In fact, I like it better than guitars I own that are much more expensive. This is a fantastic investment for the person just getting into guitar for sure. And even a guitar veteran will find a lot to like here. Totally recommend the Ibanez GRG131DXBKF.
5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic guitar worth getting.
First of all this is a very beautiful guitar with a flat black finish and red accents all around with a red pick guard. Second of all I had it shipped to me, and out of the box it was very well set up. The only thing that I had to do was adjust the truss rod on the neck. Surprisingly it was mostly in tune. The frets were also filed down. You don’t see that in alot of other guitars, even in guitar shops.Especially the squire guitars. The neck is some kind of wood from New Zealand and it plays very similar to the wizard III necks on the RG guitars. It does play very fast. It also does not buzz anywhere on the entire neck. The pick ups seem to be very generic, not the Ibanez infinity pick ups. Clean sounds very good, but on overdrive and or distortion it gets a bit muddy. I plan on replacing the bridge pick up anyway. All in all this is a fantastic guitar and I would highly recommend it for a beginner to intermediate.It seems to serve all purposes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to play guitar 🎸
Great guitar love the flat black with red looks and sounds great
5.0 out of 5 stars A looker for sure!
This has been my favorite guitar since I got it a few years ago! The neck feels so good and it is a perfect size for fast finger play. The pickups sound clean and with a little tuning is ready to play out of the box. With a good sound fx pedal you can make some near professional sounds. The flat black with the shiny red pick guard makes this guitar look great on display too.
Excelente guitarra para iniciar y para upgrades también!
Esta es la primera guitarra eléctrica que compro en línea para retomar mis estudios de guitarra. Lo que yo buscaba era una guitarra eléctrica de calidad con puente fijo sin que me costara tantísimo, y después de analizar mucho las opciones de Ibanez, esta fue la mejor opción.Esta guitarra, a pesar de no ser de gama alta (RG, S, Prestige ...), ofrece mucho. Me gustaron las pastillas y el selector de 5 pasos que da más versatilidad al instrumento. El cuello es muy cómodo. El peso de la guitarra es adecuado para tocar de pie. No tiene "neck dive". Es bonita también :)Hice ciertos ajustes, que varios de ellos son más upgrades que nada:1. La maquinaria es decente pero no es la mejor. A pesar de tener puente fijo, la afinación no era muy estable después de practicar un rato. Como solución, le instalé una maquinaria Hipshot de bloqueo y fue una diferencia muy notoria!2. El diapasón y los trastes estaban muy sucios. Además de que el diapasón estaba sequísimo. Eso se arregló dando un buen servicio a la guitarra: pulido de trastes con lija de agua, limpieza de cuerpo, diapasón y cuello, y para finalizar, aceite de limón al diapasón para hidratar. Quedó súper agradable después de eso.3. La acción de fábrica estaba bien para afinación estándar, pero para afinación Drop D, trastea. Ajustando un poquito en los tornillitos del puente fue suficiente. Me imagino que para otras afinaciones se requerirán más ajustes.4. Coloqué unos strap locks como la cerecita del pastel para mayor seguridad :)Como futuro upgrade creo que cambiaré la cejuela, pero por ahora no causa problemas.En resumen, es una guitarra muy "tocable" y versátil para muchos géneros aunque el look de la guitarra es más de rock y metal, las apariencias engañan. Esta guitarra da para tocar un blues suave. Una muy buena opción tanto para quien quiere iniciar en guitarra eléctrica como para intermedios que busquen una guitarra para upgrades.
Bella chitarra rockettara
Ho cercato in lungo ed in largo questa Ibanez GIO series che era terminata in tutti gli stores fisici ed online. L'ho trovata grazie all'ottimo servizio di Free Sound Guitars. Imballaggio spartano, ma condizioni perfette. La confezione NON contiene un cavo. Estetica: molto piacevole, bellissima la combinazione di nero satin, meccaniche nere, battipenna ed inset sharktooth rossi. La finitura rossa del bordo del top mi pare colorata. Tastiera: tipica Ibanez 24 tasti jumbo fret di finitura discreta. Ponte fisso F106 senza infamia e senza lode. Attenzione: questo modello NON ha il tremolo, è un errore della descrizione. Pickup: 2 humbucker infinity R tipici di Ibanez di livello entry e medium, di buona potenza. Selettore a 5 vie con possibilità di splittare gli humbucker. Meccaniche apparentemente solide, anche se economiche.Non l'ho ancora portata dal liutaio, ma noto i seguenti possibili problemi:- Il setup originale ha un'action decisamente troppo alta --> facilmente risolvibile.- Esce con corde 11 di marca non nota e di qualità dubbia --> facilmente risolvibile.- Il capotasto (credo sia di plastica) deve essere rifinito --> risolvibile.- La tenuta dell'accordatura non è ottima --> probabilmente risolvibile rifinendo il capotasto. Non è escluso dipenda dalle meccaniche, che in caso si possono sostituire.- Il potenziometro del tono ha un range dinamico un po' limitato.- Gli humbucker pescano molto le medie frequenze del movimento delle dita lungo la tastiera, cmq forse vanno alzati un pochino, spt al manico.Nonostante questo, sono complessivamente MOLTO SODDISFATTO, per il rapporto qualità/prezzo: hai una Ibanez esteticamente molto adatta a contesto hard rock / metal.Upgrade eventualmente da considerare:- Sostituzione del ponte- Sostituzione del capotasto- Meccaniche autobloccanti- Sostituzione dei pickup (gli starebbero bene due EMG attivi).
