@@clementquiver5777 i think grx40 is more like bullet strat or yamaha pacifica012v from what ive seen This ome on the video seems WAY cooler and better, also more expensive
I got the GRX40 in black for $70. It was 2nd hand and had rusted strings-pretty much never played. I do prefer this one, mainly for the 2-point tremolo.

I have one with 2 Humbuckers and single coil in the middle. Neck is nice, too. Very happy and a bit surprised how good it is for an inexpensive guitar.

@@skywalker31 GRG140 WH, change the usa region into yours in ibanez website
I used to own an ibanez strat in maple and black back in 1983 , I still have a photo of me holding it , cut off denims, all the usual , but for some inexplicable reason sold it , any way have just started playing again as stuck in the house , so I'm in the market for a new guitar and amp , so ibanez are top of the list . Last thing, I've seen the guitar I owned on eBay for nearly 800 quid ! Should have kept hold of it !! 🙁
I have a Gio strat and it’s just great to play. Bought it used from someone who knew guitar much better than me, and I love it. Until I can afford my EC Artist Series Strat this one is my goto guitar. Along with my Martin acoustic.
I can't HELP but to agree with most reply-ers here, who praise your playing of these riffs (most of which, almost "demand" that tightness you've brought to the party...!!).... My main reason for comment here, stems from the surprise I got, upon hearing your riffs/tone (and upon seeing how you achieved them.... It reminded me strongly (not to mention surprisingly), of what I can get on occasion MYSELF, when implementing a chain reminding me of yours.... I.E. Playing that heavyweight guitar you do, when you engage your MXR equalizer-pedal, it immediately calls to-mind what I can spit-out an amp, by running my Epiphone Les Paul into a Boss "GE-7" (eq-pedal), and the MXR "Fullbore Metal" (which contains a noise-gate, AND a sweepable-mid function, which when engaged, offers-up that elusive SCOOP we're talking about here !!). If you're not bored-to-tears yet (or just outright 🥱ASLEEP, by now....😊), thanks for reading, and cheers again, to your playing & tone !!! 💯🤘
I have one in my closet, but, I have to wait till my daughters give it to me for Christmas. I have a 73 L.P, copy, no serial number, which I am very fortunate to have, but I wanted something with a very different style . I cant wait. I feel like a kid. lol Good review.
Awesome stuff man. I'm a little curious though, if I were into Neo Soul type music also would I be able to play that on this guitar? Sorry if this is a ridiculous question.
i know this video is a little old, but im looking into buying my first guitar to try to teach myself. Would you recommend this one or the schecter sgr c-1?
I just now purchased my first ever Ibenez, used Gio solid black. My only concern is how the trem is and if after hard playing if it stays in tune. Guess I'll find out soon.
I just bought one of these (Black 24 fret) and looking up if it was worth it. I play with a Line 6 stereo amp. I paid $299.00 out of the door. What I need to know is mine is two double coil humbuckers. It shouldn't make a difference, right?
I know this video is old, I'm thinking of picking this up as my first electric, it's either this or a higher end jackson but I just love the look of this one, if I slapped some new pickups into it do you think I could get a really clean sound? I love clean sounds :p
I bet they would sell even more of these if they just took “gio” off the headstock cause they’re not bad guitars for the money at all. Sure, if you play it for some time, you’ll want to modify it, but overall, I really like those guitars
would this be a good guitar for heavy metal like Metallica? I play a lot of Metallica and Metallica style and I'm really looking for the right sound I know it also comes from the equipment but my amp pedal etc are perfect it's just my guitar doesn't have that sound that I'm looking for
Hi Dave what do you think of ibanez grx40, i like my grx40, the neck of ibanez gitar is Very good nice hardrock sound Very good in the mix the sound get true in the mix i play daily on my ibanez grx40 its my favorite gitar.
Ive just picked up one of these for cheap... How does the trem arm stay in Dave? Mine just falls out! And give it the slightest wobble and it goes massively out of tune! But...I do LOVE those single coils on this guitar. 😆
How does it compare to th grx40? Slightly cheaper and the only differnce i see is the 2 extra frets , painted headstock and less color options on the grg140.
Agreed about the contributions - your reviews are actually useful, because you go through a range of sounds with the guitars. Have you considered Patreon? I'd contribute. It doesn't take that many people at a £1 a month.
Hi Dave, i am about to pull the trigger on a black one for 150€ new, does the guitar hold its tune ok? I might be using it live as addition to my SG(Harley Benton DC-Custom) is it up for playing live?

You're playing is just great man, thought I'd say as every little demo lick or chord progression is just beautifully delivered and I love it

They think they broke it and sold it.
Just got one of these yesterday , had loads of Ibanez guitars , i LOVE them , they can almost turn a "sane" guitarist into a total guitar maniac
Do they come with jumbo frets
I love the sound of this guitar, so much so I went out and bought one. Same make, model and colour.
Awesome. They are great aren't they. :)
what is the model name/number? I can't find this guitar online anywhere. It sounds much cooler than I expected. Also, he's a fantastic player.

Yeah..play that Timmons!!!!!!
The first riff he plays is “rape me”
By nirvana
Right???
Oh yes
These are the kind of guitars I need more of in my life (but not right now). Cheap, simple and powerful sounding axes.

Starts playing Rape Me by Nirvana haha!

Shame, why can't you keep it, are you after something else? 🤔 great playing and love your wackiness.

impeccable tones and playing. I tip my hat.

You have the "magic touch" Dave!!! ;-)

Now that i go back and watch these old videos you can tell that the new camera is AMAZING. Good investment, Dave..... and Jo. 😊 👍
i keep replaying 6:34 - 8:18 . its so breathtaking
I agree, I think it’s one of the nicest things I’ve ever heard on guitar
He was playing a bit of Andy Timmons "Electric Gypsy"
really appreciate this video, i have this guitar but with a 22 fret neck. Your skills are inspiring!
I really like your video on the gio grg 140 I might go get one. Thanks 😊.

Congrats, you have convinced me to buy this guitar.
Have fun and thank you for watching. :)
I’m definitely considering buying one of these for my next guitar
It’s funny restumbling upon this video as I have just bought the same guitar from cash converters for 64 pound. Can’t wait now
My Mrs bought me one of these for my birthday.
Believe it or not they are under £120!!
yeah good, no probs
3:30 made this all worth it. Now I know who I'm binge-listening for the rest of today.
Thank you. : )

good stuff again Dave, love the Andy timmons song. you remind me of jasper carrot Dave, 👍
Thank you very much and odd you should say that. I get that a bit. Haha. :)
Yoooo ur sick dude🤘 I need this guitar in my life. You are amazing
just bought the grg170dx, candy apple, i love it!😊
Awesome stuff man. I'm a little curious though, if I were into Neo Soul type music also would I be able to play that on this guitar? Sorry if this is a ridiculous question.
I resonantly got a ibanez gio in silver burst and i agree it is a great guitar
i know this video is a little old, but im looking into buying my first guitar to try to teach myself. Would you recommend this one or the schecter sgr c-1?
I would recommend this one over the Schecter but if you can. Try both and see which one you prefer. :)
Those amps tho!! Love it.
Thank you very much. : )
Hey Dave. It's a Ibanez GRG140 WH?
Thats the one. :)
cheeky bastard lol. starts off with Nirvana
Can you teach me your ways
I just now purchased my first ever Ibenez, used Gio solid black. My only concern is how the trem is and if after hard playing if it stays in tune. Guess I'll find out soon.
Dude I just bought one of these and you are a bad ass player.
love the guitar ! thanks for checking the wide range of tones also with pedals 🎸😄
keep rocking
Thank you and shall do my best. :)
Hi Dave, what pedals were you using with this guitar to get the sound you had at 5:48-8:17I really liked that.
I was only using the amps reverb and overdrive channel. Other that theres no pedals. :)
Cool! very good that guitar :)
Thank you very much. :)
Awesome single coil sounds 😁👍🏼
Alice In Chains! Yessssss! hah sounded great man. class playing as usual!
+Jared Hind Thank you very much. :)
Sorry to hear you have to sell it,could tell you got on well with this guitar
+Johnathan Jordan Its a bit naff. I just hope it goes to a good home. :)
Literally wanted this to play grunge. Clicked on this video and got Nirvana and AiC. Fucking awesome!
:)

I was just playing around. Happy you liked it. :)
I know this video is old, I'm thinking of picking this up as my first electric, it's either this or a higher end jackson but I just love the look of this one, if I slapped some new pickups into it do you think I could get a really clean sound? I love clean sounds :p
I like your rhythm paying, its very musical.
I might get this guitar to get into modding, but it already sounds great
Nice Guitar. How does it compare to the GRX70QA
Wow, its sounds great , to bad ou have to sell it...
Well great playing as always
AIC.... Awesome!
Indeedy. :)
Amazing mellow sounds there for a bit! Ty for the review
Thank you very much for watching. :)
great. now I just grabbed one on ebay. Dave you are bad for my wallet.
+hovercraft Artifact Again I'm so so sorry. Please apologise to your wallet for me. :)
What you played on 2:30 is beautiful, man...beautiful. Is it from any RHCP song?
I'm juts messing about here but thank you very much and happy you liked it. :)
Whic one better, this GRG140 or GSA60? or you can recommendation me other guitar at same price range?
I bet they would sell even more of these if they just took “gio” off the headstock cause they’re not bad guitars for the money at all. Sure, if you play it for some time, you’ll want to modify it, but overall, I really like those guitars
This or a squier strat?
nice playing man !
Thank you very much. :)
My pleasure !
Which Ibanez Gio exactly!?? Guess I'll figure that out myself then.
i think its grg140
3:30 AIC Rooster
Dig the Alice in Chains riff!!!!!!
+crjacobs1313 Its rather cool isn't it. Thank you for watching. :)

Electric gypsy! Nice..
Were you playing a song at 6:32 or just freestyling? Anyone know what he was playing there?
I was juts playing around. :)
Ive just picked up one of these for cheap...
How does the trem arm stay in Dave?
Mine just falls out!
And give it the slightest wobble and it goes massively out of tune!
But...I do LOVE those single coils on this guitar. 😆
nice playing as always :)
Nirvana♥️
What GIO series is this? It looks like the GRX40 or maybe 140? Not sure
I don’t remember. Sorry.
How is the tremolo? Does it stay in tune when used for light and heavy use?
It does indeed. I really loved this tremolo. : )
how much did it sell for eventually?
I don't remember now sorry. Wish i still had it to be fair. : (
Bedroom Lick ALERT at 9min!!! Well-played good sir!
Great video, beatiful riffs, how is the tune stability ?
The tuning stability is great.
I know its probably too late, but why not sell a different guitar if you are so in love with this beast?
+Harry Emmott If this makes any sense this guitar I haven't bonded with as much as my others so its easier to let go than any other guitar I have. :)
***** fair enough then!
How does it compare to th grx40? Slightly cheaper and the only differnce i see is the 2 extra frets , painted headstock and less color options on the grg140.

This. :)
found one on ebay without the pick up thingy as a beginner is it essential if so why doesnt it come with one?
Hi dave, this guitar or the squier bullet strat?
I would have to go for the bullet myself but i did love this ibanez. :)

Dave Simpson Thanks for the info, i will get one :)
Hello, did you use reverb stuff to get this effect 6:34 or can this effect be adjusted in the guitar itself?
Its just reverb.
Is this ibanez grx20 gio for like 250 bucks? Also, how many frets does that guitar have?
6:34 how to reach this effect? tell me please 🙏
anyone know how to achieve this sound ? 6:50 ? amp settings effects etc. Please answer its pretty important to me
hey from which song was the first riff you played, it sounds awfully familiar but I just cannot remember, wasn't it something from john?
never mind, she looks to me 😁
+Nikolai Megdanov Its a Nirvana song called Rape me. Grim title. Great song. Thank you for watching. :)
+Dave Simpson whaaat, it actually sounds a lot like RHCP's "She looks to me" only its faster
