This model is probably the best sounding Gio of all! I have this exact one and I love it. Also very comfortable body shape and a fast slim neck. Often false advertised having the Infinity RS pickups, but those are the Powersound set (edit: he mentioned it, they‘re called PSND). Hot single coils with the height of the pole pieces adapted to the neck radius. The Infinity RS pickups (in GRG-140 for ex.) are mellower sounding and have flat non staggered pole pieces. edit2: beside new locking tuner I didn‘t have to change anything, it‘s so good. The bridge is wonderful. Usually I swap parts for better sound, on this one I just moved the volume knob back and mounted a kill switch in its hole. I did a very shallow fretboard scalloping and lubed every friction point. It stays in tune for days even after dive bombing. Bought used for 110€- it‘s a steal!
I bought the same it is cheaper much better in this price range from squire bullet series can't say about affinity but where this guitar shines is humbucker is really sound great
Retiene muy bien el tono pero normal. Lo que si son un problema son sus afinadores, no mantiene muy bien la afinacion. De fabrica como cualquier guitarra viene muy altas las cuerdas y hay que tocarlas. Saludos.
First it did not hold tune well while using the trem. But I worked on it and lubed sparely all friction points: nut grooves, trem posts, saddles under the strings, spring loopes in the back. Before you swap the tuners, try first with tightening its little screws on the tuning button. But not overtighten, because the plastic ring can break. Just enough to turn with some resistance. This helps a lot on poorly made tuner. Tuning instability very rare comes from the tuners, if you know how to proper string it up and if you allways tune UP to pitch, never down. Later I installed locking tuners, wich made it a tiny little bit better. Now I can dive bomb, and it's back in tune. Last trick if it goes out of tune: pull hard on the G string upwards and let it snap on the fretboard. Like magic: back in tune! 😊
Mine is 3.1 kg /6.83 lbs. No neck dive. On all of my guitars I move the back strap pin 10-12 cm up. So the guitar hangs more ergonomic infront of my belly, and helps a little against neck dive too.
@@alexisbvbm what are you even trying to say? That u don't need an amp? Well you don't really need it but there's techniques and songs that would only work/sound decent when played with a amp

Great, isn‘t it! I find the single coils sound more straty than my Slick SL57, wich basically is a strat knockoff.
How did it hold tune? Is it easy to play in the higher frets?
Thanks

From all the guitar I've play, the heavier the guitar the better the sound
Dear, Amplifier Reqiered Or Not...?
Obviously. It’s an electric guitar.
where the sound would come from if not the amp?
nevermind, you could aways use an audio interface
Not requiered. I have this guitar. It sounds alone.
