Ibanez GIO Series GRX20Z - Black Night

Wow I was really impressed with this guitar when it arrived! The paint is a really deep black with a good sparkle and shimmer to it that gives it a really nice space vibe to it. The paint job was done very well with no runs or bubbles and a very solid finish that is sure to last. The fret board feels really nice under the fingers and plays very well with no issue getting notes to sound out properly. At the head of the guitar the shape is very stylish and the tuning pegs so far have held the tuning very well and adjust easy. The strings that came on the guitar are actually pretty decent for a starter set to get you playing from day one. Plugged into an amp this guitar was able to adjust the tone and volume well in addition the selector for the pick ups gives you more of a range of sound that you might be looking for.I think this is a very solid beginner guitar, it doesn't weight very much so its not cumbersome to carry around or play and its features give you a good amount to try out some different styles to play different music and really get into playing!

Beautiful sound, and beautiful guitar very well packaged worth every penny.

I've been learning guitar on my acoustic, but I wanted to switch it up a bit and go electric as well. Didn't want to spend too much since I'm a beginner. This was advertised as "Used - Good - Large cosmetic imperfections on body of the item." I thought for the price, it was worth a shot. This guitar arrived in perfect condition. Not a mark on it. And its light and easy to play. I now have one more Ibanez to my collection, and couldn't be happier with this purchase!

As a beginner who just got into guitar playing I thought I'd start out with something like a Fender Squire, since they're known to be among the best when it comes to newbie guitarists. Unfortunately it was unaffordable for me so I started checking lesser brand alternatives that carry the same design and flexibility of the Squire, and suffice to say that I was unimpressed with cheaper knockoffs.This guitar however, completely surpassed my low expectations considering the cheap price and unpopularity.Ibanez, if you haven't heard of this brand before is a known quality guitar maker whom legendary guitarists like Joe Satriani use models of.PROS:1.Smooth carefully crafted body and impressive paint for whats intended to be a cheap practice guitar.2.Good quality wood and the neck is reliable.3.Strings are good enough for starting and don't peel on your fingers like some cheaper alternatives. Overall not bad quality.CONS:1.The reason i gave this guitar a 4 instead of 5, is because i received it with a small but deep crack close to the socket where you plug the amp cable which could be either a manufacturing problem, or due to shipping.2. Not really a con but something to kep in mind nonetheless, it doesn't come with extras like picks or straps.Just the guitar, instruction manual, and warranty.Overall for the offering 100$ price, this guitar is worth every penny and after owning it for 3 or 4 months now I'm happy to say the guitar is looking and performing the same way i received it. And the crack i mentioned thankfully is not affecting the guitar's performance.

I really liked this guitar. I'm a beginner so I didn't want to spend a ton of money on something I wasn't sure about but I really enjoyed playing. The guitars neck isn't really thick so it was easy to wrap my fingers around to play and it sounded pretty good. I ended up returning the guitar to get another one but I would still recommened this guitar if you're unsure about playing guitar.

For the money this is a 5 star deal. I had researched the cheaper electrics on Amazon and decided to spend a bit more in hopes that it would pay off, and it did. The finish is outstanding with no sharp edge's as stated on other low cost electric guitar reviews. I was a bit worried about how damaged the packaging was. Turns out it was just the outer box and the prize was safe and sound! I have not played in some time so I can't speak to the sound quality but it seems reasonable. I would definitely recommend the Ibanez if you don't want to spend a lot but want little more.

I own many guitars and have been playing for over 30 years. This is a quality guitar. It was already set up when it arrived. It was even in tune. This guitar sounds great, is easy to play and stays in tune. The hardware is solid. This is the best guitar you can possibly find at this price.

Not to bad of a guitar, for the price!
