A guitar doesn't have to cost a bundle to sound good. The GIO series was developed for players who want Ibanez quality in a more affordable package. Not only do they look and play better than everything else in their price range, but their rigorous inspection, set-up and warranty is the same as Ibanez's more expensive models.
Features
Jatoba Fretboard
Jatoba has a reddish brown color which produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end.
Maple neck
The Maple neck provides stability and bright tonal character.
Quilted Maple Art Grain (Basswood) top / Poplar body
The Quited Maple Art Grain (Basswood) top displaying a gorgeous wood grain and the Poplar body provide a bright and solid sound.
T106 tremolo bridge
The T106 tremolo bridge with 6 independent saddles makes precise height and intonation adjustment of each string easy.
Mono-unit output jack
The mono-unit output jack is made of solid, durable material and is a single piece to avoid unwanted movement and loosening of the jack, which leads to contact failure or disconnection. This innovation allows for long term playing enjoyment and minimal maintenance.
Infinity R / Infinity RS H-S-H pickups
Ibanez Infinity pickups deliver an accurate and tight sound with excellent dynamics. Even under heavy settings, they do not lose tonal clarity.
