ibanez grg170dx black

great guitar with 2 humbuckers, 1 single coil, 24 frets, and a 1-way tremolo... good guitar with a wide range of music styles, from blues (single coil) to rock (bridge humbucker) to metal (both humbuckers)... all of that wrapped up in a beautiful finish... price is within most people's budget and delivery is fast...

Good start for the beginner

One of the standout features of the GRG170DX-BKN is its playability. The slim and fast maple neck, combined with the smooth rosewood fretboard, makes it incredibly comfortable to play.

Despite its budget-friendly price, the GRG170DX-BKN doesn't compromise on quality. It's an excellent option for players who want a reliable and great-sounding instrument without breaking the bank.

Great guitar for the price

For someone who wants just a nice and solid electric for a good price - this is it.

Now I do have to mention, that using the vibrato bridge stick does untune the guitar a lot faster than you would expect, but, if this is the price you pay for the guitar, you will probably not use the stick that much or it will be a really good cheap first time feel for it.

I like it , why not : )

It's the first GIO ive ever tried, and honestly I feel its on par with Squiers,Harleys,etc... It's a very good cheapo, I think ill keep it and upgrade it.

The fretboard is very comfortable,body is light,fast neck... awesome superstrat for my needs.

Amazing for the money

This guitar is very impressive for its price. It is built well with a smooth and solid feeling neck, very good fretwork with nothing sticking out and all metal volume and tone controls. The guitar stays in tune well and the floating trem is also very good. The guitar also looks much better in person than in pictures. I reccomend this guitar for anyone playing rock and metal, it's great for rhythm and lead alike.

My first guitar

Well, it is a very good guitar for beginning.

pros:

- very nice feeling on neck

- I love the clear and clean sound on S.C. pickup

- It's tone per overall is more than 4 stars, but lest than 5 (it still doesn't feel like a music man or whatever)

cons ( these are minor details )

- The tremolo and the pickups are ok, but not the best (except this one, it is a major)

- there is a lot of dust that gets onto the pickups

- a very heavy guitar (not the genre, literally heavy)

- fingerprints easily

Notice: Even though it does not have a Floyd Rose bridge, it does not seem to get out of tune pretty easily (and I use the whammy bar pretty often).

Also, putting sitckers all over the guitar should get rid of the issue with fingerprints.

In conclusion, if you are playing as a hobby, it is a 5 stars guitar, if not, it could be even less than 4.
