Ibanez GRG121DX-BKF 5-stars Reviews

Very good for the price

Guitar came perfectly intonated, straight neck, no sharp edges, plays good, sounds good, 2 years on and nothing has changed. Feels more like a $500 guitar.

great ibanez

Great entry level ibanez. comfortable. comfortable neck. beautiful shape. Excellent pickups for their price range.

Very good

Best guitar for these money. I'm not a proffesional. But this is a very good for newbie guitar players. My second guitar which I use for a practice.

A good guitar for beginners and continuing.

The sound is good, everything is built from the factory, the guitar can be played almost immediately. But someone accidentally spilled a drop of blue paint on the fretboard, but it doesn't affect the sound as much as it does.

Recomended! maybe it a best guitar for this price

i bought this guitar like a present for my brothher, black color its poor( i want same model in white metallic)))

Great for it's money

Pros:

- Design

- High output passive ceramic pickups

Cons:

- Varnish is not very quality, has little bubbles

For those about to rock... I salute you!

This my very first electric guitar. At the time of writing I have owned it for about 2 years. I play it 2-3 times per week on average. The guitar is very reasonably built. You really get plenty of guitar for the money. The only improvement which you should do after a several months is to swap the strings depending on the music you like to play. It will improve your learning curve. I have the satin black version. It does not keep a lot of finger prints. However several times I scuffed the coating as I was unwinding the guitar cable and the marks are really visible. I wish I bought the wooden version that would just deform without showing discoloration. The pick-ups are midrange and OK. They will get you a long way before you know what want and are ready to purchase a higher end model, or replace them yourself. Tuning wise the guitar neck and tuners are sturdy and I do not need to check them more than once a month. Last but not least the guitar looks sexy. It's the one and only reason why sometimes I cannot walk past by it in my living room. It just screams at your face - Come and play me! And this is pretty much how good tunes are born. Just do it and you will also enjoy the dopamine rush.

Nice

very good guitar, what else can I say, probably the fact that it sounds good, I just like it

This is my son's first guitar. He is happy.

What a steal!

For the low price this guitar is priced at, it sounds and plays fantastic. This rivials my old S570 DXQM for playability. set up out of the box was fantastic. Neck needed no adjustment. smooth frets and well crowned. only adjustment i made was the action height. Ended up taking a bit of sandpaper to the saddle screws as once set at my preffered height, the screws do stand rather proud making palm muting slightly uncomfy.

The included wiring/electronics are outstanding for a sub £150 guitar. 5 way selector switch is nice and smooth, and has a printed PCB with labelled pin outs, making upgrades nice and easy. The included pickups sound really nice, but a little muddy for me. I have a set of EMG 81/85's coming to replace these.

10/10, a must buy for any skill level of player.

This is my first electric guitar

This is my first electric guitar, I am delighted with the design, and it looks very high quality

Not only for begginers

I was really surprised with the quality of this guitar. The finish is flawless, very good fretwork and nut. String action was perfect from the factory. Great tuning machines for the price. It holds tuning way better than a bullet strat.

Pickups are ok for the price, even though they are ceramic they are medium output. They also coil split so you can have a strat-like tone.

Best for the price

In photos you see the old version. When it will come, you will receive the newest version of that guitar. It will have written "Ibanez" on pickups. And what is very important: humbuckers work and as singles!!! That is an extremely big plus, because it can be perfect for both metal and jazz/blues. Also this version comes with new potentiometers caps

pros:

-Super impressive design. Among guitarists it is called "The Batman Guitar"

-Super nice matte finish. I have that guitar for more than one year, and the matte finish is like totally new!!

-Very decent quality

-Best option in that price category. To be honest, before buying it, i was thinking of having 3-4 guitars. But after I bought it, I do not want another guitars. For me, the design is the best I ever seen. Maybe after 4-5 years I will buy a Ibanez guitar in exchange of this "Ibanez Gio"

cons:

-The only problem I faced with is the fact that I had to colour the bolts from pickups, because they came a little bit discolored. But that is not a very big problem.

Beautiful

This guitar sound beautiful and does what i need for a heavy sound and tone. Restringing the guitar doesn't take long either as there isn't a back panel to remove. With also the fret board being quite narrow as well it makes reaching the strings really easy.

High gain

High gain humbuckers that can make a really heavy guitar tone, good for metal genres, especially for Nu metal, Metalcore. Quality for that price is very good, nice to touch.

Awesome

Just received my guitar yesterday and I was damm satisfied

Very good and flexible guitar

When I ordered it I was looking for a beginner guitar, I wanted a black one, and I did not expect much in this price range. I was very surprised when it arrived. It is sturdy and very well made. I love that black matt finish. The neck is not black, but I can understand that this is a budget product so they had to save money here and there. Also the neck surface is not as slippy as I would like it to be, but it's not bad either. It sounds nice, I play it in clean mode, distorted and also much rock and heavy metal stuff. It's OK. I own it 6 months now, and the only bad things I noticed so far is that jack keeps getting slightly loose and I have to screw it in with my fingers again and again. I need to get a wrench to fix that permamently. Also the tone knob might need to be replaced soon. Besides the only thing I did is I lowered the strings action, because they were very high when guitar arrived. You can do it yourself it's very easy. I compared it to a ¤900 Ibanez, it sounds different, but I'm not sure if worse. Would I recommend it for a first guitar - YES, would I buy it again - YES.

Value for money

awesome looks! And great sound!

Totally recomend it!
