  • I saw this Ibanez GIO listed on reverb.com for $149.00 BRAND spankin' NEW. I know Ibanez makes quality guitars, but how could such a large and well-known company be making guitars like this for so little money? Could this guitar possibly be worth anything? Let's find out together.
    FYI: The neck is MAPLE not Poplar. I got it wrong in the vid!

    I read numerous written reviews about this guitar and looked at other similar priced guitars up to $300. Ordered it online today. Thought I’d hop on YT and check it out after the fact. Great review!

    I have seen hundreds of guitar reviews and some hardly even play the guitar and some have so much gain that you can't hear anything but noise. Yours are some of the best out there. If I am thinking about a new guitar, I always check here to see if you happen to have reviewed it. Keep up the great work and rock on!

    I have that same exact model in Black Night. Absolutely great guitar. A great player after a simple setup. But I hated the pickups and the 5 way switch. I switched mine to low output alnico 2 humbuckers and a 3 way switch with full size pots. It's now a beast. Love the 12" radius fretboard and the Dinky shaped body. Wow, what a great guitar for the price. Thank You Ibanez! And yes, I'm going to buy another one. I think the blue one this time.

    My 2006 S470 with the ZR bridge system is still a Phenomenally enjoyable instrument. I even had a new neck installed by Hoshino in NJ to repair the common nut bolt crack in the neck wood once and it was definitely worth it since the "claw" adjuster wheel is Genius level fast and easy and the ball bearing mounted ZR bridges can last a couple of lifetimes. The "Wizard" thin neck profile and 16" Radius are rather extreme though and not my favorite.

    How is the action on this out of the box? Would it require any adjusting? I just bought a cheap guitar on Amazon and the action was way to high and to get adjusted the cheap guitar would no longer be cheap.

    • @AndrewFriedberg
      @AndrewFriedberg  3 года назад +1

      Yeah, unfortunately getting any guitar set up is going to cost between 60-100 depending on where you go. Lots of "how to" vids exist on how to lower the action, make sure the neck's straight and intonation is right, and others basic adjustments. It's easy, just give it a search. RE: the ibanez, I got it set-up and kept the action where it was out of the box, which was pretty dang low. Good luck man

    Please could someone tell me if the behringer vt30fx amp is a good match for this guitar? For metal and dirty tone. I already have this guitar but i need an amp and im struggling to choose which one, also i wanted to buy a marshall but i cant afford it now. So is the behringer amp a good match with this ibanez guitar?

    • @AndrewFriedberg
      @AndrewFriedberg  3 года назад

      Phill McKnight. Tomorrow at 3pm on his channel he has a livestream where you can ask him pretty much any gear question about any amp etc. I would talk to him, he knows his stuff. I'm using a mini-tube amp, which gives a great sound for recording, without being too expensive. But you might want a solid-state.

    "I Love Everybody all the time...Forever." Those are some mighty Big words there to live by and...that's why nobody can do that. Nice sentiment though. I don't feel any guilt saying so since I've never even liked Gibson to begin with, so, I'm "cancelled" by default.

    I've bought pawn shop ibanezs electric guitars for the last 10 yrs . Ibanez gives you a quality low end guitar that will stay in tune so beginners won't have as much struggle learning to play. Top name guitars do have better hardware installed on there guitars. But your paying 1000's just for the name. You can easily modify a 200$ guitar for under 500$ tuners bridge and pickups. Then call it your own. Thank you Ibanez please upgrade the pots for 5 stars I'm at 4.5
