Aggressive-looking black hardware and cool shark’s-tooth inlays complete the package. The GRG131DX is a value-packed electric guitar.
Awesome Guitar
Had a Squire given to me years ago that I played a bit and put in the case not to touch for years. Started again and wanted a cheap upgrade for a heavier sound. This thing out of the box after warming up sounded amazing. Finish is fairly easy to get dirty, but the thinner neck with wider string spacing fit my fingers perfect and eliminated a lot of the muting I was getting with the Fender. Pickups sound great as far as I know. Also the volume knob isn't right under my hand which bugs me with the Fender. About to get an Orange Micro Dark and 1x12 Celestion Vintage cab delivered and can not wait to hear that sound with this guitar. As always Sweetwater has the best customer service I have encountered in years!
Great buy for the price!!
I've been playing for over 36 years, and I wish they had this guitar in the mid 80's!! For the price and quality, you won't be disappointed!
The neck is super easy to play and the frets are even and consistent. The pickups are fine, but they might need to be swapped for a better pair. The tuners are stable and the nut was cut correctly. Overall, this guitar screams 80's metal...and its playability and build quality are on par with the "quality" 80's guitar inventory back then!
