Seriously the ibanez GIO range has taken such a flight in the right direction the past 6 years it's crazy. And amazing. went from feeling budget metal to being metal on a budget.
@@TheGuitarGeek hows the neck feel on this model, I have an older version of the gio series and it feels too chunky and uncomfortable when playing, is this guitar like that at all?
I have the matte black 131ex. It's a very good guitar, especially for a beginner. Ibanez necks are so comfortable and the selling point for me was the reverse headstock. I'd recommend anyone these two guitars considering there price. Add a boss katana and you are set. Now is the time to play guitar considering how good affordable gear is nowadays.
I have the GRGR131EX-BKF as well. It's a fantastic guitar considering the price point. The all-black look is awesome and the guitar plays great. I plan on upgrading the pickups soon.
For a budget metal guitar they’ve really concentrated on the best bits. Things like hardware, wiring and pickups could be replaced if needs be but it looks solid and well built. It’s very nice too!
Budget metal! A great range of sounds from that 5 way. I really like how they gave a different than usual selection that better suits what would actually be used for metal
I've had this guitar for awhile now and love it. I'm not a beginner but got it cause I love Ibanez guitars. The color and as mentioned the reverse headstock sold me. Plus I use this guitar for practice at my apartment inbetween band practice and gigs I like to play this even over my more expensive Jacksons, or Schecter . Can't be beat. Great choice to demo!!!
Been looking at these the past few weeks. Do not need it as I’ve loads of high end equipment. But for the price it’s mental. Half decent set of pickups in it and still not a lot of money spent. By the way these are just back in stock now in Thomann and music store !
I got into Budget metal, with an 2010 Ibanez Gio, if you think those pickups are bad the ibz2 will drive you crazy, I ended up swapping them with a les paul slash pickups because they looked good, I will love to get this new GIO, definitely worth buying
Holy moly- that’s some budget metal guitar Andy. I wish these were around when I was starting. I think it’s more important that it plays well and keeps tune starting out and this obviously does that.
I hope Ibanez should really consider making more reverse headstock variations on their RGs and higher end guitars because it's not just beneficial for metal down tuning but the reverse headstock is also kinda very cool looking for metal shredding guitar and it is also the biggest reason why I got into their brand it's because how awesome looking their headstocks when it's reverse and I know some of you will probably say that "Yeah you'll probably just go for the solar guitars" hahaha I like Solars too because their guitars has reverse headstocks, but for me Ibanez had just perfect headstock shape for me not too pointy and not too curvy and body is just perfect for me and solar guitars is just too expensive for me they have no cheaper and affordable models so yeah this is just only my opinion, and I really hope in the future they would make a reverse headstock variations 😁
budget metal! I have seen a few reviews of this guitar now and I think it might be my next purchase. I have a bit of a Jackson/Ibanez fetish so this will fit in my collection quite nicely. Well It is now three weeks after I made the original comment and I ended up getting the Ibanez GRG220PA1BKB. I wanted that blue top but I couldn't find it in stock anywhere near me. The one I got is still awesome though. ;)
I've been looking for a guitar to pick the art of Guitarery back up after 15 years. My heroes are Les Paul and EVH. So, minus the trem, I believe I found my bae bae. It has clean tones I think are better than most intermediate LP's. Very bright. Budget Metal, O'Doyle rules.
I have 2 Ibanez Gio's and absolutely love both. I have changed all the electronics to my preference, but the electronics it came with are not bad. The fit and finish on these guitars are a step above any guitars in this price range. The frets are level and polished out of the box. These are great modding platforms. i would not hesitate to buy another one.
I got a used RGD370Z-WH for $375, I have it in C standard but throw it in drop A#. It absolutely rips and it won't go to the dump or rot in an attic and I have an absolutely great guitar with good specs for cheap. Check your local listings for good deals.
This seems like the perfect _budget metal_ guitar. I'm going for the stealth one, GRGR131EX-BKF (GRG Reverse 131 Experimental, Black Flat) cause the fretboard looks cleaner (gotta do a black spray paint on the back of the neck, get black plastic pickup covers) and it has lots more modding options 🤘great review btw!
thanks ive jusst bought one of these guitars Ibanez GRG121DXL-WNF GIO i also watched henning review one and you both among others have said for the money its a great guitar,at xmas i bought a stratocaster from fenders mod shop which came with a fat e string too close to the edge of the fretboard ,got it fixed by fender thanfully any way i watched the video on the gio and im looking forward to opening my lefthanded version yours wayne budget metal
I played one in a shop and found the neck to be more comfortable and player friendly than guitars that costs 3 times as much, including Yamaha Revstar, Epiphone SG, Sire Carlton S7 and a Charvel pro-mod…all of which i ordered, played and sent back! And I played all the budget import fenders and this Ibanez was much smoother and comfortable. But i am considering stripping the top down to its natural wood which for this price i am not so worried about. Like the video and your attitude!
For a Budget Metal guitar, you really can't lose with Ibanez. For beginners or anyone simply short on cash this is an easy choice and a great base for upgrades later.
I'd payed almost the same here in Honduras, waiting for it to arrive but for what I've seen and heard it is worth. Just too bad the prices are way different but still an amazing work of art from Ibanez.
Great guitar for budget metal. I don't owe this one but I owe the GRG121DX and pretty happy with this one, I guess it has the same pickups, an dI got this just because the one from the video wasn't available at the moment.
Excellent review. Too many sleep on these affordable options but I see it like this. Get the bones and build the electrics , nut and tuners up. Being a hardtail helps alot.
I don’t really have a metal guitar either. This budget metal baby might just fit the bill. Budget Metal Baby will be the first song written with it. 🎸😎
Thanks for the review. I have orderd this guitar - I have a epiphone sg, and while its a nice sounding guitar, its neck heavy, so it divides like a dolphin. Also the finish came off very fast, (it was sunburst red) and the wood is very soft. The body could easily be worn into and mark too easily, so i varnished it, it took me a month to do it. (8 coats of varnish with 0000 wire wool two days for each coat to dry). The frets were not filed smoothly and the turning sucks. I hope the one in the video is better - BUDGET METAL. The guitar was was giving me left hand problems and i was battling it, in others I had constantly move my left hand and my right repostion it, i got a very good strap and it help a bit but not enough.
Nice Buget Metal guitar and a good move from Ibanez not to put a trem on it. As you said a trem at this price point would make it more a Bunge Metal guitar ;-)
Honestly, I think you're buying the body somewhat, and I do understand all argument for or against, I mean if binding is important, ( I think on me is is nice, headstocks too!) But in all honesty it lays between the nut /bridge and what's captured between..
So what's the most BRUTAL passive pickup upgrade ? I allready got active EMG's on my Schecter (which I love😍) which as evwryone knows are crazy wonderfull. She is a beauty for sure, kinda been thinking of gettin an older RG ibenez...
Sweet review that actually told me all I needed to know instead of just playing Metallica for 15 min. I have one coming tomorrow. Not the cool reverse stock version but still pretty cool & with the HSH pickups. I ordered some pickup covers so it'll be more metal looking. It'll be my first proper guitar without uneven frets (hopefully). I'm gonna Budget Metal shred that sucka.
I bought one as my first "real" guitar, aside from a silly SpongeBob thing I bought for £50, and it arrived last week. So far I'm extremely impressed, it feels like a quality bit of kit and it's so comfortable and easy to play. #BudgetMetal
I have this guitar. Seems pretty good but I'm a newb so I wasn't sure what I was getting when I bought it. I am changing out the strings to 9's. It comes stock with 10's.
@@TheGuitarGeek would you leave the tuners alone? I was thinking of upgrading to locking tuners but in your vid you said the stock tuners were ok. Just wondered if it's worth the money.
I wondered whether you could recommend something budget blues or budget slide or budget less paul instead of budget metal if that guitar shape and color is not my cup of tea. What do you think about the Gretsch G2215-P90?
Hey! I haven't played that particular Gretsch but the streamliner series is superb.Budget guitars with Glued in necks are harder to recommend but I have a Harley Benton SC coming in a week or so. Maybe check back then?
I’m with you on the burl tops for the most part, I just don’t care for them knots aren’t desirable in wood for guitars historically and isn’t burl just a fancy name for knots in the wood ? I’ve seen a couple schecters that look pretty good and I like the new hard tail Ibanez premium burl thing but mainly just the specs neck through hard tail RG all spec’d out at the 1500 mark I think ? I’ve been thinking about the gio’s for a couple years now every since they had the jewel blue reverse headstock one mainly because I want an Ibby with a reverse head stock I’ve always thought the reverse Ibanez headstock looks so cool ever since I played an original RG 565 at a party 17 years ago .
I have to say, those are some quality components and great looks for such a budget metal guitar. Aside from the pick-ups and the jack socket, would you say anything else is of lower quality on it?
Here is the neck way too thick - compared to typical Ibanez models at higher price ranges. For a seasoned metal player that's an obstaclr, he will stumble over, for a beginner even more, as he will have to put more strain on his carpal tunnel, than necessary.
Looks wonderful, sounds great when chugging. But crikey, Ibanez guitar names. I’m bad enough trying to remember what my Gretsch Streamliner is called. Budget metal
I will only say my opinion ..for all those who make a serious decision to learn to play this instrument, one thing is certain, every guitar produces a sound in accordance with its performance, and this is called the color of the sound, SO THERE IS NO GOOD COLOR OR BAD COLOR..THERE IS ONE THAT YOU LIKE....OR NOT, SO THERE IS NO GOOD OR BAD GUITAR?! ALL GUITARS ARE LIKE WOMEN, they suit some and some don't... with a good amplifier and a good processor, I use the AX3000G KORG on my recordings, you can get a good sound, let's say this Epiphone SL guitar.. or I use Flight (Slovenian manufacturer, shape Les Paul) I also use Ibanez Gio GRG 121, also Stagg shape Stratocaster, produced in 1995, they all sound great, depending on the purpose for which song I want to use them. All guitars has a great sound and with good parameters it can be used as a professional instrument , best regards from Edy ..and all the best in your future work
I’m looking to get my first Guitar since I caught a pick from my favorite metal band (Aviana, check em out if you like metal) and I feel I have a duty to learn How to play a real Guitar now. I want something that can play metal and I think this is the one I’m gonna get. Thanks for your help and everyone that likes metal, check out Aviana😊🤘🤘
An Immense Thank You TheGuitarGeek I have just bought this guitar today ,had to wait a whole month for it but it finally arrived, thanks to this video and You. This guitar is so beautiful and sounds very nice but My favorite guitars are Jackson without a doubt ,the Jackson high output humbuckers have definitely much more power, but i can always change the humbuckers later on ,but still it sounds very nice ;) Thanks again and take care 🥰😊👍
Im new to guitar, question, if i were to get this guitar and a Boss Katana amp, what wires or plug ins would I need, can someone help and recommend the products id need?
This maybe just me but being this is a budget metal guitar ,do you think they made the body smaller than a prestige? I have this thing where i want my guitars to be 13 plus inches at the lower bout below the bridge? Do a show on this topic it would be something to talk about . Strat guitars the same- cheap knock offs seem to be only 12 to 12 and a half inches.
Budget metal got me really with the optics. But I decided to go DI Marcio and bought the SEW 761 FM SEW. According to the specs on the Ibanez page both guitars have the same bridge. DO you have the same thing here witch the screws catching your hand while palm muting?
i tried good few ibanezes and all of them that had this type of fixed bridge had those sharp screws, ez fix is to take them out and sand them down a bit with sandpaper and put them back on, a lot better then
What is the difference between this guitar and a ibanez rc? I'm new to guitar playing, I currently use acoustic and a yamaha pacifica but want something a little different. Thanks in advance.
I own an RG420EG and after removing the plastic pickup covers (because they became loose and annoyed the hell out of me) i noticed the pickup up poles are wildly out of alignment with the strings. Why is that? The neck p/u more so than the bridge. I never noticed when i purchased it brand new that both pickups are now noticeably off centre. What is going on here? Any help is much appreciated.

For a Budget Metal guitar, you really can't lose with Ibanez. For beginners or anyone simply short on cash this is an easy choice and a great base for upgrades later.

Besides changing the pickups, what else (electronically speaking) should they change?
Used to have this one. Kinda miss it.

I bought one of these based on you`re and a few other reviews for my budget metal :)
Got one that's maple bodied, roasted maple neck, hot pickups, wicked salted veneer and yes, 250.
Imo the pickups sound pretty good. I prefer them over the Infinity R Pickups
That`s a very beautiful guitar 😊😉I always liked Ibanez guitars but the head stock i really dislike but this reversed headstock looks very awesome .

The pickups are of course not the best thing but I don't care because I use Amplitube 😄 Can't wait for it to arrive today 😍
You should check out one of their guitars with a Super Wizard neck. Makes Wizard 2/3 and Gio necks look like strat necks
I’m with you on the burl tops for the most part, I just don’t care for them knots aren’t desirable in wood for guitars historically and isn’t burl just a fancy name for knots in the wood ? I’ve seen a couple schecters that look pretty good and I like the new hard tail Ibanez premium burl thing but mainly just the specs neck through hard tail RG all spec’d out at the 1500 mark I think ? I’ve been thinking about the gio’s for a couple years now every since they had the jewel blue reverse headstock one mainly because I want an Ibby with a reverse head stock I’ve always thought the reverse Ibanez headstock looks so cool ever since I played an original RG 565 at a party 17 years ago .
"Stickin it to the burl man"! 🤣 🤣
I have to say, those are some quality components and great looks for such a budget metal guitar. Aside from the pick-ups and the jack socket, would you say anything else is of lower quality on it?
Here is the neck way too thick - compared to typical Ibanez models at higher price ranges. For a seasoned metal player that's an obstaclr, he will stumble over, for a beginner even more, as he will have to put more strain on his carpal tunnel, than necessary.
I disagree. I prefer this to a wizard 3 neck on the standard range
Budget Metal for the win!
At this point, I think Ibanez is trolling guitarists with their model names...
Budget Metaaaaaaaaal !!!💥💥💥💥

i tried good few ibanezes and all of them that had this type of fixed bridge had those sharp screws, ez fix is to take them out and sand them down a bit with sandpaper and put them back on, a lot better then
It costs R$: 2,500 in Brazil
Damn
What is the difference between this guitar and a ibanez rc?
I'm new to guitar playing, I currently use acoustic and a yamaha pacifica but want something a little different.
Thanks in advance.
I own an RG420EG and after removing the plastic pickup covers (because they became loose and annoyed the hell out of me) i noticed the pickup up poles are wildly out of alignment with the strings. Why is that? The neck p/u more so than the bridge. I never noticed when i purchased it brand new that both pickups are now noticeably off centre. What is going on here? Any help is much appreciated.
awesome
