Ibanez Gio RG Series 6-String Electric Guitar, Blue Gradation

Where many similar-class guitars might compromise on looks, tone, or playability in order to cut costs, the Ibanez GRG120QASP is an axe that keeps on giving.

One look at its eye-popping quilted maple Art Grain top, plus one spin up and down its satiny high-performance neck with bound purpleheart fingerboard, and you’ll be a believer. It all starts with a lightweight, resonant poplar body for a solid tonal foundation and comfort in the hand. The GRG120QASP comes loaded with a set of Infinity R humbuckers to deliver a range of fierce, high-output tones, along with a smooth-playing neck that lends itself to fast action. Engage in serious dive-bombing and other whammy acrobatics onstage with the GRG120QASP’s T102 tremolo. Or, just soak in its flawless polyurethane finish while it’s slung on a stand in your home studio.

Infinity R pickups give you massive tonal range
Loaded with a dynamic duo of Infinity R humbuckers, the Ibanez GIO GRG120QASP yields a range of impressive tones. The neck position humbucker is voiced for warmer, richer tone, while the bridge humbucker is a brilliant lead pickup: vibrant yet snarling with an enhanced midrange output when you push it. If you’re after maximum tonal tenacity, the GRG120QASP will give your amplifier or modeler everything you need.

Smooth-playing, fast-action neck
A guitar is only as playable as its neck – so, it’s a good thing the Ibanez GIO GRG120QASP has a smooth and fast-playing maple neck. This comfortable neck is capped by a bound purpleheart fingerboard with a super-flat 15.7-inch radius and 24 jumbo frets, giving you the agility to execute fast single-note runs with ease.

Capable T102 tremolo
From huge dive-bombs to subtle vibrato to stutter-like warbling, the Ibanez GIO GRG120QASP’s tremolo is ready for anything you throw at it. When not in use, the tremolo is solid and in tune; when in use, it does your bidding down to the microtone. Whether you need the trem for cool ’50s-era dips or massive harmonic dives, the GRG120QASP is ready, willing, and able.
