Ibanez Electric Okoume Wood Guitar Series GRGR221PA AQB

Why are people complaining about the tone? Ibanez, unlike other brands, gives you a controlled distorted sound not found on most other brands. Most other brands just rain down noisy distortion. An excellent guitar for shredders, though can't say much about chord players since we only play fast riffs. Is a little bit too expensive though, but then again, you get rich quality.

Indeed the guitar is very beautiful in person but the colours are not very bright as it appears in the catalogue images rather it has a quite glossy. Finish is as expected from the brand Ibanez. Pickups are okaish and not very high end. Action is decent but not very low. Overall it's worth it.

the freatboard is a gem in this gio221 and the colour and texture is out of the box fascinating sohhh beautifull the pickups are sooh great and the tone sustainability is superb in terms of hight freats humbuker makes quite silent interms of noise over all a value for money product for sure go for it 4.85 stars overall

Guitar is of very good quality but packaging is useless it might get damagae quickly while shipping.... Seller should maintain their packaging standard as they merchandise their brand bajaao

Fret ends are filed down properly. Action was good as it is and they have also included two Allen keys, for truss rod and saddle height adjustment. The color is really bright blue in front with a Rorschach pattern and reddish brown in the back with wood grain pattern. Things to note: 1. The pickups, with covers look good but are just ordinary passive pickups, not very high end. 2. The headstock and neck are inverted, so the tuners are below and tuning the guitar can be tricky. 3. The position of the guitar cable connector is slightly awkward for playing sitting down, as your thigh can keep hitting and detaching the cable. Its better to use a guitar cable with right angled connector and have it looped through the guitar strap (you might need to buy those too). Between the Stratocaster-like guitar with single coil pickups that I already have and this one, there is a huge difference in feel, weight and tonality. As I play only in home on a modelling combo amp, for me the two guitars complement each other and are enough for many styles of music.

The guitar has a few noticeable issues. The neck pickup has a small chip on the edge, there’s a visible mark on the neck and the underside of the body has scratches. There are also scratch marks on the plastic panel for the electronics. The overall condition feels more like an opened or previously handled unit. I was expecting a new piece, so this was disappointing.

Era un regalo. Piaciutissimo moltissimo!

Guitare super, joli bleu,delais et reception parfaits

I just received the guitar and after unboxing I saw that it is damaged.

Summary: This guitar is an excellent choice for a first time guitar player who wants to get into the hobby on a budget. Let me begin by saying: Early models from Ibanez's GIO line have a horrible reputation for being not so great. It was their budget line of guitars and they felt and played like it. After looking into electric guitars - I've wanted to learn to play for a while, but just couldn't get past the hurdle of the price (and motivation, but that's another issue entirely) - I decided on this one after seeing the seemingly rave reviews from both Amazon buyers and YouTube personalities who decided this was a great budget guitar. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Shipping being prompt aside, the care that Ibanez puts into the GIO line now seems to shine through this guitar. The neck is slim and therefore easy to fret, the entire thing has a nice heft to it and it rests easily in my lap - not to mention the beautiful design on the bridge, which looks great despite just being poplar art grain. The guitar sounds great, has a versatile palette of tones thanks to the 5-position pickup switch and is priced very reasonably. A great gift if a friend or family member wants to start playing an electric guitar but don't have a lot of money. Note: One of the pictures on this listing is inaccurate. The picture that shows the 1/4" input jack shows an old input connector. This input connector was prone to becoming just a little loose - something that was easily fixed with a screwdriver, but something that was annoying nonetheless. I ordered in March 2023 and the model I received has an entirely new input jack designed to solve this issue. According to some YouTube reviews, the pickups aren't great - they work just fine and get the job done, but in my opinion this is a good thing. If you're a beginner learning to play this instrument, you're going to have to learn to maintain it soon enough. Swapping out the pickups seems like a perfect first challenge of this kind to me and frames the guitar as a good modding platform for a custom setup later on.
