Mate thank you for taking the time to comment. You will love this guitar and welcome to the Ibanez family 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Dude enjoy your new axe, you will love it mate 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

@Oliver Vixienne Dominic got message from seller store, cause covid they have delay from supplier. Don't have in stock. Still waiting. Think in the middle of February or even later I'll get it.

@@sergeytrubskiy4590 exactly the same.... My first after years of acoustic, they dont have stock i have to wait 1 month maybe more... Do you have it? I will buy the katana mini for amp.. i believe is the best for start.. or pathfinder 10W but i prefer boss

@@narse_2166 I'm happy to have this guitar so much! I use sound card Focusrite Scarlett 3d gen instead of combo and it's enough.

It amazes me mate, great guitar 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Thanks for stopping by and commenting dude. Enjoy you new guitar. 🤘🧟‍♂️🤘

Well done dude, happy new guitar day!!! 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Good work dude, yeah this is an stunning guitar for the money beginer or pro this guitar is kick ass 🤘🧟‍♂️🤘

@@PaulGlover thanks for the brilliant review- helped me make up my mind. i tweak most guitars i buy- expensive or cheap- nice set of pups in this (stock ones aint too bad) and it will rip. keep up the good work :)

I concure!!!!!

Lol 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

This will be thinner front to back and a little wider top to bottom. Very playable and very comfortable, deffo not beefy 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Well done man, happy new guitar 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

@@PaulGlover It looks soooo sick.... such a nice colour. Keep on, keeping on 👌

Thats going to found amazing dude. Youve got yourself a tone mountain there fella 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Did you comment this same thing on a different ibanez?

Plays and sounds Great to, for a work horse or first guitar! Its awesome 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟.

I'm getting one in 4 months for my birthday.

I just painted my wall white. I might get this one and the white one to hang up

@@PaulGlover I officially got one today! It's killer!

@@edguy24 happy new guitar day broseph 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Always a bit of both man. But this thing rocks 🤘🧟‍♂️🤘

Mate that sounds like a sweet sweet rig!!! 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

I would exactly that. Putting those bad boys in thus axe would elevate it to greatness. 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

West mids I meant. They seem easy enough to install as no solder. Take care buddy. Rock on

@@garnzaonthenet yeah id say you wouldnt have an issue. Just be warned if they are active then you'll need a battery cavity? 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Reverse headstocks have been a thing for ages buddy, looks cool. 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟 congrats and you new guitar mate!

That kind of headstock reverse is my favorite.. I want RG series the, ibanez RGA42,.. Gio is not my type but when i see this guitar, im doubting to buy RG this guitar is makes me empress,.. But if RGA have a reverse headstock, ill chose RGA,.. Im doubting now RGA or gio grgr221.. But the pickups of RGA is advantage compare to GIo series.. THe RGA42 is mat and the grgr221 is glossy type

For the money dude this thing is stella 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

@@PaulGlover what about it as a guitar but not for the money? Thanks in advance

@@DEZZA12 it sounds and looks better than any other guitar at this price point but have in mind that sometimes cheap stuff comes broken or with major flaws and then u gotta send it back and tell them to send u another one that is not majorly flawed. Also keep in mind that you may want to change the nut and the tuners for better tuning stability. You may also want to know that there are more pricey guitars that come with major flaws or which may break in a few months/a year of playing them. So don't expect very much and maybe don't buy it unless you just wanna start learning guitar and then buy a good one in the next 2 or 3 years. Or you could just buy it and gradually mod the shit out of it while you learn to play it, but that's up to you and you should fully understand that some important parts inside it like the truss rod may break (as it usually happens with the IBANEZ RGA42FM). Also if you buy it be sure to send it to a PRO to set it up for you cuz you will need to anyway.

Still waiting for it, hopefully around mid Feb

Paul would this suit for beginners and not rock metal players??

yeah man this thing does clean very well, very articulate. plus some new pick ups down the lane and it can be anything you want it to be.

@@PaulGlover awesome Paul thanks a lot will get mine, btw do you know any store that has it in stock? Or recommend a tote to get it online??

If he want a trem then a guitar at this price point will get him one....but not a good one. If he wants a trem maybe look up the range a bit. So standard RG, premium range. The none trem veriant however is a belter!!!! 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

@@PaulGlover Thanks for the reply mate that really helps as I know very little about guitars. Cheers! 👍

Yeah this thing can be set up with low action, the neck is not the thinnest Ibanez make but its more Jacksonish still thin but got a bit of meat on it. 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Aw dude thank you, yeah man, I tend to have to play many genres and find any ibanez will and can do anything really. For the neo soul, Funk Jazz vibe I'd look at the AZ range dude. They do a very affordable range now as well. Worth checking them out buddy. 🤘🧟‍♂️🤘

@@PaulGlover your the best m8 , keep up the great work , love the channel , I'm off hunting for a AZ , knowing my luck I'll get a team photo of dutch side AZ Alkmaar 😀 👍

@user-gw9lj9lx1g hahahahahha enjoy the hunt fella and once again thank you so much 🤘😆🤘

Yeah man bang 12s on this and it drop like the gods 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Of course its fine with drop tuning

And everything in between man. Its a versatile girl 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Thank you! I hope i could finish my song soon, because solo requires 24th fret to make a harmony in B minor

GRGR221 is better for ibz-6 pickups, grg131 infinity pickups seem to be bad. The grg121 is the same as the gr221 and has the same ibz-6 pickups

Great work horse guitar with great looks and Ibanez playability. This is upgradable as well so will follow you as you progress. Not alot of downsides dude. Great guitar at an amazing price point. 👏 🤘🧟‍♂️🤘

IBANEZ guitars are well knkwn for being very versatile mate, so youll now no worries with this one. 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

@@PaulGlover Thank you!

No buddy, but wood grain can make some crazy patterns. 🤘🧟‍♂️🤘

@@PaulGlover thanks mate ill definetley be getting one of these as i find squier guitars sound quite muddy and im guessing Ibanez sound more clearer

It's great man, super workhorse of a guitar. Your right about reverse headstock though lol 🤘🧟‍♂️🤘

@@PaulGloveris changing strings very hard or hard Any cons of this guitar?

@@Ashishmasseyofficial no dude, as its a fixed bridge it's really easy. This is a great first guitar and one that will follow you through your guitar journey. 🤘🧟‍♂️🤘

Go for it man, great guitar at an amazing price. You cant go wrong buddy and also welcome to the horde my friend 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

Without doubt dude, this thing is amazing and will inspire you to become a guitar fecking hero!!!! As well as my tutorial videos lol JOIN US!!!! 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

If you're into metal/rock, go ahead! Ibanez Gio guitars feel great and the split coil options makes the guitar very versatile.

@@Mkemcz pls bro is that better than an ibanez GRGR131EX ?

@@lynx-_-abdel7068 as far as the specs go, they're the same guitar. The only difference is the body wood: okoume for GRGR221PA and poplar GRGR131EX. The pickup are both passive ceramic, but GRGR221PA has then covered, while GRGR131EX has them exposed. The GRGR131EX also has a pickguard, so you access electronics from the front, not the back. I don't have experience with okoume VS poplar, but my poplar Gios are fine. Okoume should be more expensive, but "more expensive" doesn't always mean "better". I think you'll end up happy by choosing the one that looks better to you.

@@Mkemcz as it looks like you know about guitars, is a GRG121DX Black Flat the same as boht of this 2 new guitars GRGR221PA and GRGR131EX, cause i looked int he specs and it looks the same but maybe am missing somthing i could use a hand on this

This dude, dont me wrong schecter is also badass but this one will work every day for ever 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

One last, were there any issues like sharp frets and fret buzz and other stuff that needs to be set up properly? Thanks again

@@EN-xz9qp not on this model, but that can be a case by case. I fly around the world (pre covid) playing off the shelf Ibanez and they always feel amazing dude. 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

I see thank you again, welp i have my eyes on this model once i move i hope i find a guitar store that has this, thanksssss

I love Laney amps dude they are amazing value and sound awesome. Also love the Boss katana range of amps if your on a tighter budget. 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

@@PaulGlover i have a career one right now. I just bought this guitar and i’ll get it soon. But i think it’s time for a new amp but which laney would u recommend on around €100?

@@SpacedDice this one dude www.gak.co.uk/en/laney-lx20r/3858

@@PaulGlover they don’t have it on the website I buy it, I live in the Netherlands and we have the bax shop maybe you could check on there for me? 🤘🏽

Its called a reverse headstock. Just a cosmetic thing buddy. 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

@@PaulGlover Oh ok, thanks. Got me really confused cause only the Gio series has these.

Sorry this is late dude, yeah man it will eat that stuff up

@@PaulGlover its ok man. I bought it. Check this sound for November rain - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itGgart2nqjOaJs.html

Hahahahahaa told ya!!! This thing is too cheap!!! Well done and happy new guitar day!!!!! 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

@@PaulGlover yes bro. Totally worth it. It not the price. Even expensive guitar sometime sound does not really good. But this creature is amazing. Hahahahaha

@@adanvorz6866 hahahhahahhahhaa

£210 in the uk mate. 🤟🧟‍♂️🤟

@@PaulGlover wow that's nice! I will buy this one

Paul, this one came in for me kids, I know it's kind of silly but here is my demo and it is blue as well kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZ6cndFlyZq9Yqc.html But what a sound this GIO has, that blue contrast against the varnished wood!! Just Wauw man. Can I ask what the setup of your gear was here? How is the fretwork, is it better than the JEM70V Seafoam? Because I will purchase this one if that's the case
