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.

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 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

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 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.
