Excellent review! Thanks!!! I just ordered this guitar; most who have reviewed it have given it thumbs up.
Thanks for the clean demos! Great review, thank you!
Glad you liked it and thank you for watching🙏
What an amazing guitar considering the price point. Nice one👍
I just bought and I love it
Nice🤘
My RG450DX had given me trouble for a long time and I wanted to replace it with this but I got my tremolo working now. Still very cool guitar.
I am a beginner in playing so i wanted not to pay so much money for my first guitar. So far the grgr131ex does a great job and looks fantastic/metal 😉 thank you for the great Video ! I Hope you can understand my englisch. Greetings from germany 🤘
This is a very good entry level guitar so good choice👍 i'm glad you liked my video so thank you so much and your english is great. Cheers!
It rocks guys! Death metal/Black metal...hell yeah!!
That's right🤘
Awesome review! I'm not a big fan of Gio but I can't help but love this guitar. It has pretty much everything I could ever want. Killer paint job everything is blacked out wich is my favorite. I've also always wanted an Ibanez with a pickguard. This is the ultimate mod platform. Can't beat the price either. I feel the same about tone pots too. I have no use for them. I'll probably replace it with a killswitch when I get mine. Or get another pickguard and eliminate that hole entirely. Thanks for the review Cheers!
You're welcome and glad you liked it. I think this Iby is killer looking also. I'm also going to change pickups eventually and maybe even replace that plastic nut with better guality nut. Cheers!
Kill switch, now that's a cool idea.
And get rid of the neck pickup too 😁
@@zombiemontage Hell yeah
Best guitar for 250$ you can find. Plus reverse headstock looks sick
just got this guitar for a home practice guitar and I love it. It is so cool looking and you can't beat the price. Sounds killer through my Orange Crush mini amp. Great and absolutely the most in depth review I've seen.
We have the same setup 🥹
@@plokikoki3594 and it works great too... I use mine with headphones, AKG's and it's super nice sounding ....
@@plokikoki3594 do you like this guitar with the Orange amp? I'm looking to get this
@@hceeslimey3312 yeah I did enjoy it I have a different setup now! But you will have fun I promise :)
Great review, great tone a music. Congratulations! is this neck extremely thicker than the standard rg 421 model? thanks.
Thank you and glad you liked my video. This has 0,5mm thicker neck than RG421. GRGR on 1 fret is 19,5mm and RG421 is 19mm, at 12 fret GRGR is 21,5mm and RG421 is 21mm. Cheers!
Thank you for the thorough examination and great playing of this guitar, I think I may get one. Looks cool, probably lightweight and rocks! Don't have to worry about things happening to it too much and extremely affordable. I wish they had inexpensive guitars like this when I was young in the 80's. Kickass!
Thank you very much and glad you liked my video🙏 it is a pretty light guitar and very nicely made although it's a cheap one. I changed the pickups and it is even greater instrument now. And yeah you don't have to watch out all the time...few pumps and dings doesn't matter in rhis one.
@@InstrumentsForEmotions I'm curious, what pickups did you put in it? The reason I ask is, I have an Ibanez that has Dimarzio's in it and they are just way too noisy, sound good, but noisy as hell. Do you know if Semour Duncan's are noisy, or what do you recommend? Thanks man.
@@samueltractorton2088 you can watch the whole pickup swapping from here: ua-cam.com/video/tOcZWGgDax0/v-deo.html
I've allways used dimarzios or ibanez own highend pickups i don't have experience with Seymour Duncans✌️
A set of DiMarzio pickups, good electronics, Hipshot staggered locking tuners, Hipshot bridge?
I’ve just bought one mainly for different tunings as my other guitars are Floyd rose and some I keep in standard. I bought the walnut flat gio which I sent back as the nut was cut way to deep making it unplayable….let’s hope I have more luck with this model. 🏴✌️
Looks great! Is the broken tone pot a fault of the guitar itself and its quality, or is it just bad luck that got a broken tone pot to you?
Im thinking of getting this as my first *electric* guitar. Or should I pay more for an electric guitar? I have a 600 USD budget.
I think it's just a bad luck nothing else. Go to local music store and try a few different guitars that are in the your budget. Select guitar that you liked the most.
I have this one, it’s great. Replaced the strings right away to Regular Slinky. Do you have a tab for that riff you played during the demo? 🤘
I dont have tabs for that sorry✌️
Need help with choosing a Guitar
Hi, I have been looking for the best possible guitar I can get under 26k. I’m not looking for. Flyod Rose or a tremolo system as I have found that at this range the guitars don’t hold their tuning very well.
I have shortlisted Ibanez GIO grgr131ex which is available for ₹24,800 and Schecter SGR Avenger which is for ₹25,598.
I have heard a lot of reviews on UA-cam for grgr131ex and I like that it has 5 way switch which can bring in versatility to my production and the SGR has 3 way Switches. grgr131ex has Infinity R picks (2 Humbuckers) and SGR has Diamond Plus pick ups. I have not been able to find much about SGR. Can you please help me pick the best possible electric guitar? This is going to be my first electric guitar and I need your help to make the right decision. Thanks in advance :)
i wish i can get it on my birthday
I hope you get it🤘fingers crossed🤞
@@InstrumentsForEmotions my birthday is tomorrow sir. really hope that the stock is ready by tomorrow. if not. im going to pray hard again.lol
How much does it weigh?
Hey im thinking about buying this guitar and i have a question about restringing it, how do you restring a reverse headstock? do you start from the high e string first?
I'm starting with low e string as i start every guitar. I don't think there's much of a difference what order you restring your guitar👍
@@InstrumentsForEmotions Oh okay cool thanks. Nice video too dude im gonna buy this one as my first guitar
@@irixval nice choice for a first guitar🤘
Pots are generic? Are they Alpha or some other specific brand? Very nice looking guitar good one to update 👌

I think these are the pots they are using in this Iby.
@@InstrumentsForEmotions thanks!
when they did the GRG it was actually an RG series guitar if i remember correctly it was the black blood splatter and the white blood splatter were the first in the series but ibanez decided tocall it the GRG and add it to the Gio line. the 2 guitars i was mentoning wee only avalable out side of the U,S,A. some how my older brothjer got ahold of the black blood splatter one from craigliistbeleve it or not it was a nice guitar had an edge 2 or somthing cant remeber been awhile. but yeah ibanez downgraded the GRG series model guitars to the gio line. i had or have the book here somwhere that tells you everthing about what series guitar it is to were it was made the hole thing.
Nice thanks for the info🤘
Grg is just a gio rg. Stop this lie
What are the size of the tuner holes? 10 mm?
I haven't measured those holes, but 10mm hole is considered as a stantard hole size nowdays so 100% those are 10mm holes✌️
Does Ibanez no longer make single cut necks or are they only for the rock stars (iow shit expensive)?
What do you mean about single cut neck? As an neckthru construction?
@@InstrumentsForEmotions Single cut of wood not a scarf joint towards the headstock. edit: Apparently Ibanez has never made a solid one piece neck from what my searching on the Internet brought up.
@@generalawareness101 oh yeah now i know what you mean...it might be Ibanez have never done it if there's nothing on the internet. I haven't really look into it..have to do a little research.
are the tuners stable?
Yes they are.
can you make a video how you fixed the action on this guitar
It's nothing special...just adjusting the bridge but yes i can do video about it✌️
@@InstrumentsForEmotions does the nut needs to be sanded down too. Great review btw
@@markanthonyborg2468 what do you mean nit i don't understand?
The nut, i ve seen some ppl sanding it down to lower the action because it seems to be a little high. I am buying one of these guitars to experiment, I currently have a les paul with zebra humbackers and i cannot get enough chugginess amd dont want to change the pickups
@@markanthonyborg2468 oh yeah...no i didn't sand nut from this one but that is one option if you want very low action. And if your intonation is bad from lower frets sanding the nut slots lower is option too then.
Seriously considering this does it have the reversed headstock?
Yes it has a reversed headstock.
I'm the owner of "121", but this looks way badass! \m/
But pickups are sucks :D
Yes pickups sucks in this thing too. Going to change those intje future🤘
@@InstrumentsForEmotions Btw, just recently changed bridge pickup into Seymour Duncan Dimebucker, now enjoying a lot, so evil sound. Next need to think about neck pickup :)
Is Ibanez grgr131 ex and Ibanez grx131 dx same ?
If you mean grg131dx that black/red Iby the answer is yes. It is basically a same guitar if you look at the specs.
голова и зубы на грифе перевёрнуты, как минимум :)
Hi do u live in Helsinki ?
No i don't.
Sorry, I know English bad.. please tell me what products I need to buy on Amazon to clean this guitar and what kind of oil to moisturize. and what strings 🙏🏻
I use dunlops lemon oil to the fretboard and music nomads the guitar one overall cleaning. You buy those strings that you feel comfortable to play🙏
@@InstrumentsForEmotions thank you
@@benissimo7922 no problem🤘
@@InstrumentsForEmotions
Dunlop Formula 65 Polish - Can this product be used to clean the matte body of a guitar?
@@benissimo7922 no it is only for varnished wood surfaces. Music nomad guitar detailer MN100 id for matte finishes.
What pickups did you put in it?
Sorry just saw the pickup swap video. Any non- Ibanez aftermarket p/u’s you recommend? Iron Gear?
I would buy Dimarzios tone zone, air norton or d activators on this one if i hadn't put these v1 & v2 in this guitar.
Brother I love Ibanez,but ironically I don't have that much money😪😪budget
This is about as cheap as it gets though man.
Халоу, мэн. Кэн ай бай зыс гитар энд плэй фром бокс, о ит нидс тюнин?))
Да, ты можешь
@@InstrumentsForEmotions, а если серьёзно в ценовом сегменте около 200 евро это достаточно качественная гитара или можешь посоветовать что-то поинтереснее?
И кстати в перспективе реально ли из неё сделать приличный барритон с расширением мензуры и заменой бриджа с датчиками?
@@6ariton30 Это действительно хорошая гитара в ценовом диапазоне 200 евро. У меня нет опыта работы с баритон-гитарами, поэтому я не могу посоветовать переделать эту гитару в баритон-гитару.
