Ibanez GRG131DX-BKF Black Flat Gio

Essential Information About the Ibanez GRG131DX-BKF Black Flat Gio Guitar

• Bold metal look: satin Black Flat finish with red "shark tooth" inlays for a striking visual identity.


• Fast playability: GRG bolt-on neck, 24 Jumbo frets, and 400 mm radius to facilitate bends and solo playing.


• Modern versatility: two Infinity R humbuckers and a 5-way lever selector switch to switch from tight rhythms to clearer tones.


• Everyday stability: fixed F106 bridge, reliable tuning, and simplified maintenance.

A Gio designed for efficiency: the Ibanez spirit within reach

The GRG131DX-BKF is part of the Gio series, an ideal entry point into the Ibanez universe: design inspired by stage-ready models, fast playing feel, and performance-oriented specifications. The goal here is clear: to offer a comfortable and reassuring electric guitar capable of supporting rapid progress without complicating the handling.

For which guitarists and styles?

This Ibanez is especially aimed at beginners and intermediate players who want an efficient guitar for rock, hard rock, and metal, but also flexible enough to work on cleaner sounds. The fixed bridge and simple electronics (1 volume, 1 tone) make it an excellent choice for rehearsing, home recording, and taking lessons without struggling with settings.

Sound

The pair of Infinity R (H) humbuckers delivers a dense sound with solid lows and present mids, perfect for riffs and palm mutes. The 5-way selector switch expands the palette by offering more nuanced combinations, useful for clear arpeggios, rock crunch, or more open rhythms. The poplar body provides a balanced and responsive character, while the long 25.5" / 648 mm scale length favors precise attack and good tuning stability in standard (and slightly lower) tunings with the original gauge strings.

Recommended compatible accessories

For transport, the recommended gig bag is the Ibanez W200C. Regarding consumables, you can stick with a 10-46 gauge (same as original) to maintain the feel and setup balance. The hex key is included for common adjustments.
