The RG DNA, made accessible with the GIO series
The GRG120QASP features the iconic ergonomics of Ibanez RG guitars, a staple on rock and metal stages for decades, in a GIO version designed to offer excellent value and performance. It retains the sharp silhouette, easy access to the upper frets, and craftsmanship optimized for speed, all with a spectacular finish.Intended use and player profile
Ideal for motivated beginners to intermediate players seeking a responsive and inspiring guitar. Its H-H configuration and fast neck excel in metal, hard rock, modern rock, yet remain comfortable in blues rock and pop thanks to clearer intermediate pickup positions.Sound characteristics
The Infinity R pickups deliver tight lows, punchy mids, and precise highs, perfect under heavy distortion without losing definition. The 5-position selector opens brighter tonal ranges through coil combinations, useful for sparkling arpeggios and cleans. The poplar body combined with the "Art Grain" top provides tonal balance and a lively attack, while the purpleheart fingerboard adds "snap." The T102 vibrato ensures respectable sustain and expressive effects while remaining stable with proper setup.Recommended compatible accessories
- Electric string sets 9-42 (factory setup) or 10-46 for a firmer feel. - Standard strap and capo for electric guitar. - Gig bag or case in RG format (e.g., Ibanez IGB540 gig bag or M300C case). These accessories guarantee protection and comfort without compromising compatibility.
