I haven't touched a guitar in almost 20 years, and haven't played seriously since the late 80's. Bought a cheap acoustic to mess around with, found this one and ordered it. Bought the green one, looks great! Packed very well, and only needed tuning to get it ready to play. A friend sold me his extra Line6 2x10 amp, together it sounds great. The price is much better than lesser quality guitars that I had back in highschool. Would highly recommend.

I watched a bunch of YouTube reviews on this guitar before buying it almost two years ago. I have four guitars and this is the one I play the most, and I have a Dean Razorback and a B.C. Rich Warlock. This is the one I play the most. I love the way it feels and sounds. I still can't believe they can make something this awesome for such a low price. \m/

Absolutely love this guitar can't get enough of it!

One of a kind fade to her... can't beat the sound, especially for the price ~

I love the color, weight and tone of this guitar. The action is low and the neck is great for my smaller hands. I own two Ibanez acoustics and an old JS-100 Ibanez. This Gio Ibanez is the easiest for me to play out of all my guitars.
The pickups sound great and the tone is incredible for the price.
I totally recommend this for female players like myself just because of the size & sound. Plus, it's a beautiful guitar to look at.

This guitar is decent for a beginners guitar, it's beautiful and sounds good as well as holds a tune despite the wammy bar. Good guitar none the less

Once set up the guitar is easy to play, sounds great and looks great. Beginners and intermediate players will love it.

PRODUCT
Guitar arrived ahead of schedule, very well packaged. Set up was nothing beyond time to acclimate and tune up. It looks and plays better than I expected and the person this was presented to was totally ecstatic!

Here's to more gigs coming back for all of us, so that we can have a need for more gear (from Sweetwater!).

I just got this guitar today for Christmas and it is phenomenal for the price. And they sent me a small bag of candy with it so that was cool. One if the candies was a root beer thing, even cooler.

My lovely wife got me this for Christmas, and it is fantastic,the pick-ups sound great,I took it to band practice last night and played country and rock and I'm very impressed,the neck is perfect,I highly recommend this axe

This was my 1st Ibanez. This guitar came double boxed. I was really impressed with how well packed it was and it arrived within about 48 hours.

The guitar is beautiful but even more important is that it sounds AMAZING. The HSH configuration offers a lot of versatility so it sounds really nice clean but heats up nice as well.

This particular guitar came to me pretty much ready to rock. Often, with a new guitar, you get fret buzz and some issues with string height. For me, this guitar arrived in perfect order. Not only that but the frets were polished, no sharp ends, and it stayed in tune really well. I also liked the feel of the neck, which was smooth.

My only regret...is that I no longer have it. This one and the GRX20Z in black night are honestly the 2 best guitars I ever had and they were the cheapest.

You should have no doubts about getting this guitar even if it's just to mod.

I own two guitars, an Epiphone sg ve and a Gibson. I play and love them both. With that said they are on two different sides of the spectrum, so where does the Ibanez fit? For a solid body guitar with an inexpensive price point this guitar has plenty of features. The finish is incredible and although Sweetwater does a great job photographing the instruments the photos don't do it justice. It's nice. For sound it has two humbuckers 'and' a single pickup which offers tons of versatility. The neck is thin and fast as the back isn't glossed with paint. At a slightly higher price than my bottom of the line epiphany this instrument is more versatile in sound, playability, and with nicer finish.
