Рет қаралды 72,992
Күн бұрынI was never a fan of the Ibanez Gio line, but they have made some serious changes and pushed the limits of what an inexpensive guitar can be. Let's take a look at this stunning thing in black.

My philosophy with guitars has always been if if plays good, and it looks good, then it is good. The brand or range really shouldn't matter. I have plenty of nice guitars in my rack, but I saw this model and just had to grab one. Price aside, it's one of the most metal looking guitars Ibanez have put out in years! The reverse Ibanez headstock is never not cool. Got some brass saddles and brass nut on the way. I'll relic some pickup covers, and it'll be good to go!

I like that everything blacker than everything guitar. Perfect for a Hotblack Desiato and original Disaster Area tribute band. My last Ibanez needed the neck/body screws tightened. Then it stopped going out of tune. It was a mid end guitar, and still needed a lot of setup. Honestly, if that doesn't play like shit and the tuning problem can be solved, it sounded OK. EQ pedal would solve all its sins. If I was looking for a guitar that I was planning on swapping out pickups or modding...that is a cheap place to start.

I've always been a Tele guy, but this Ibanez has exceeded my expectations by a mile. I don't think you can find a better guitar that chugs as hard as this for the price. This would be a perfect guitar for any beginner looking to get into playing metal, or as a practice guitar/modding guitar for veterans looking for a cheap but badass-looking guitar. You can't beat that all-black aesthetic with the reverse headstock, sheesh

1 thing i did notice about this guitar is that the tuners are positioned in a way that makes the bass side strings very long, unlike most guitars. Do you find this string length increase is better for drop lower tunings like D standard or drop C or B? Also does it make bending/vibrato easier or harder on certain strings? And awesome playing btw :)
@lone-wolf-1 2 жыл бұрын
The benefit for drop tunings would be a longer scale length, because of the higher tension needed for the same pitch.. But on reversed headstocks the actual scale lenght is the same for all strings, no matter how long the string is behind the nut. The tension on a string to a certain pitch between the nut and bridge remains the same, even if the distance behind the nut to tuners is 1 km. 😊 Bending the „longer“ strings feel usually slinkier, but in fact need a longer way to bend them to pitch and holding at pitch more force. General feel of fretting and vibrato indeed feel a tiny bit slinkier. Just tryin‘ to help😊
@kenjicarlos8402 2 жыл бұрын
Actually, this guitar is more suited for drop tuning… the body is string through, and the string hole for the E string is positioned further down than the others, which adds more string tension.

@@kenjicarlos8402 Sorry-no! The only thing that makes this guitar suited for playing in drop tunings is the fixed bridge and the look! And a tiny bit the pickups… On a certain scale length with certain string gauge and tuned to a certain pitch, the string tension does not change! No matter how long the string is beyond the nut or bridge saddles. It‘s the same, even if the strings beyond the saddles and nut are 1 km. For this guitar with 648mm scale, you can just go for drop D standard with 09-42 (maybe too slinky) or 09-46 or 10-46. For drop D or C you'll need thicker strings, some 10-52 or ticker. Best for drop tunings are baritone guitars or guitars with hybrid scale.

Thank you for doing this review! I’m looking to get my first guitar and I also watched your review for the Benton ST 20HH I can afford either, which would you recommend? I’m thinking the Ibanez?

I'm no beginner but that guitar has some kind of mojo for the price. It's a bargain I mean and it sounds good with the actual mics. A good cheap quality guitar with a fixed bridge, I may be tempted.

Kind of at a loss for exactly what kind of tuners youd swap out for- correct me if Im wrong, but since its a reverse head stock, wouldnt you need L tuners? Somewhere I read d'addarios are drop in replacements but they have to be wound backwards? Confused now.
