MarielMariel: Esta es la primera guitarra eléctrica que compro en línea para retomar mis estudios de guitarra. Lo que yo buscaba era una guitarra eléctrica de calidad con puente fijo sin que me costara tantísimo, y después de analizar mucho las opciones de Ibanez, esta fue la mejor opción.

Esta guitarra, a pesar de no ser de gama alta (RG, S, Prestige ...), ofrece mucho. Me gustaron las pastillas y el selector de 5 pasos que da más versatilidad al instrumento. El cuello es muy cómodo. El peso de la guitarra es adecuado para tocar de pie. No tiene "neck dive". Es bonita también :)

Hice ciertos ajustes, que varios de ellos son más upgrades que nada:

1. La maquinaria es decente pero no es la mejor. A pesar de tener puente fijo, la afinación no era muy estable después de practicar un rato. Como solución, le instalé una maquinaria Hipshot de bloqueo y fue una diferencia muy notoria!

2. El diapasón y los trastes estaban muy sucios. Además de que el diapasón estaba sequísimo. Eso se arregló dando un buen servicio a la guitarra: pulido de trastes con lija de agua, limpieza de cuerpo, diapasón y cuello, y para finalizar, aceite de limón al diapasón para...

David Perez De la Fuente: Decidí comprar esta guitarra por su bajo precio y por su diseño. Al inicio creí que las pastillas meterían ruido o algo pero nada de eso. Es una muy buena guitarra y se siente de calidad. Además, cuenta con un diseño muy llamativo, en varias ocasiones distintas personas que me han visto tocar con ella me han dicho que les gusta mucho el diseño. Mi único pero es que sí necesita una calibrada, la guitarra que me llegó veía con la acción muy alta pero eso ya es gusto personal. Si tienen la oportunidad y consiguen un buen descuento, cómprenla. Totalmente recomendada

Danielle Bailey: My daughter really wanted this guitar because of the aesthetics but it's also just a great guitar. It's her first electric guitar and she's been learning on it for about 5 months now. She gets compliments on how cool it looks nearly every time we go to her lessons. It has been a great beginner electric guitar for her.

Cadaver: Very pretty guitar and it plays great. I didn't do any setup at all because it arrived perfect for how I like a guitar setup to be. The neck isn't super thin but more like a thin "c" I guess. Frets are fine with no sharp ends or sprouts. It stays in tune okay and so the tuners and bridge are okay. The knobs and switches are fine. The pickups sound pretty good but I may replace the bridge but that is a matter of preference. There's nothing wrong with the way they are.

Overall, this is an excellent guitar at this price point. In fact, I like it better than guitars I own that are much more expensive. This is a fantastic investment for the person just getting into guitar for sure. And even a guitar veteran will find a lot to like here. Totally recommend the Ibanez GRG131DXBKF.

GPF: Ho cercato in lungo ed in largo questa Ibanez GIO series che era terminata in tutti gli stores fisici ed online. L'ho trovata grazie all'ottimo servizio di Free Sound Guitars. Imballaggio spartano, ma condizioni perfette. La confezione NON contiene un cavo. Estetica: molto piacevole, bellissima la combinazione di nero satin, meccaniche nere, battipenna ed inset sharktooth rossi. La finitura rossa del bordo del top mi pare colorata. Tastiera: tipica Ibanez 24 tasti jumbo fret di finitura discreta. Ponte fisso F106 senza infamia e senza lode. Attenzione: questo modello NON ha il tremolo, è un errore della descrizione. Pickup: 2 humbucker infinity R tipici di Ibanez di livello entry e medium, di buona potenza. Selettore a 5 vie con possibilità di splittare gli humbucker. Meccaniche apparentemente solide, anche se economiche.
Non l'ho ancora portata dal liutaio, ma noto i seguenti possibili problemi:
- Il setup originale ha un'action decisamente troppo alta --> facilmente risolvibile.
- Esce con corde 11 di marca non nota e di qualità dubbia --> facilmente risolvibile.
- Il capotasto (credo sia di plastica) deve essere rifinito --> risolvibile.
- La tenuta...

pete middletown: First of all this is a very beautiful guitar with a flat black finish and red accents all around with a red pick guard. Second of all I had it shipped to me, and out of the box it was very well set up. The only thing that I had to do was adjust the truss rod on the neck. Surprisingly it was mostly in tune. The frets were also filed down. You don’t see that in alot of other guitars, even in guitar shops.Especially the squire guitars. The neck is some kind of wood from New Zealand and it plays very similar to the wizard III necks on the RG guitars. It does play very fast. It also does not buzz anywhere on the entire neck. The pick ups seem to be very generic, not the Ibanez infinity pick ups. Clean sounds very good, but on overdrive and or distortion it gets a bit muddy. I plan on replacing the bridge pick up anyway. All in all this is a fantastic guitar and I would highly recommend it for a beginner to intermediate.It seems to serve all purposes.

david billey: This is an hidden gem in my opinion, setup out of the box was good. I would have given it 5 stars, but the nut was tight around the strings. I had to open the gaps a little to stop binding. As for the pickups, I found the bridge pickup rocks. Great for rock and metal tone and with a high gain amp I also got great harmonic response. The neck was warm but muddy, but sounded ok. This is one of the best starter rock guitars that I have found. The rear or bridge pickup is f-spaced so it has just little bit more string spacing around bridge, good for beginners. Neck is fast and easy to play, and I have short fat fingers. I picked this up for gigging, and I changed out the pickups and did a setup on it. Stays in tune not that the nut was cut, light weight and easy on the back. Pods feel good and tight with no noise when you turn the tone or volume knobs. 5 way switch also feels great with strong clicks, and gives lots of options when playing. This is now my main go to guitar now, even in my home studio for recordings. The finish on the guitar also looked and felt great, I could not find any bad spots.
