    I like Robin Haag's suggestion about finding the original owner. If it's a kid, that would be pretty cool. If they don't want it then I would find a local music school and see if there's a kid there who would like it. Great job, Sean!

  • @tonyalto1014

    Heck yeah! That is a fine guitar. I had to do more work to my brand new 100 dollar guitar to get it to play without buzzing all up and down the fretboard. Maybe donate it to a local school music program. I bet some young guitarist would love to have it. Not everyone that wants to play can afford an instrument. Tell you what, I'll even pay for the tuners. Great video! Thanks Sean!

    I just bought an Ibanez guitar, a GRX40 which was advertised as 'rusted guitar, 3 string missing, not tested, meybe not working' at my local facebook market place. I paid just 15 dollars for it. I put it apart, cleaned, polished and waxed everything after soaking the rusted parts in vinegar for awhile. Then I put it back together set it up with a fresh set of Ernie Ball super slinky and a Temu tremolo arm (lol). I'm more than happy.

    Perfect guitar for someone just starting out. Thank you for rescuing the guitar. I have a number of low end guitar that I have modified to actually feel and play like high end guitars. It does not take a lot of work. I hate to see any instrument be destroyed or thrown away. Nice video, now find a kid with interest in playing and set him up. Maybe even throw in a cheap amp.

    Hi Sean, I'm caring for moms in Cali, (she's 91 this year) and I scored an old Fender Pro Reverb on Craigslist but I got no guitar. So I found a guitar just like that, a little red Gio. Rosewood fretboard and lacquer finish. I was pleasantly surprised on how good it sounded.
    I really Enjoy your videos. Thanks so much for the entertainment!

    The Ibanez CIO I had in 2010 was probably the most solid electric I've owned; built like a tank. If the neck had been more comfortable I'd still have it today. It was more solid and reliable than the $1000 guitars I had at the time.

    I loved this video. Say what you will about Gios, but I love them. I have this same model (GRX40) in black, and I just played a full 3 hour gig with it, doing dive-bombs and everything and it only needed minimal tuning throughout. I have other, higher-end RGs, and playability-wise, I'd pit the Gio against them.

    I had one of that series once -bought it cheap, played it for a while, then sold it cheap, because it didn't suit my style very well. I regret having sold it so cheap, but then I regret every guitar I ever sold. Ibsnez makes really good guitars, sometimes they're inexpensive, but still good. Never turn down a trash guitar - it can be a wall hanging, if nothing else. One isn't always as lucky as you were, though. I have more luck with finding bicycles in the trash than guitars - they're both items I love to have around.

    if the pickup sounds great it's okay no need to upgrade if i have that guitar i will just change the bridge pickup to a better humbucker like i did to my 10$ bought brownsville strat guitar it's an SSS config and i putted an epiphone stock humbucker on bridge but the single coil's still stock it sounds great

    I appreciate your videos. A lot of the cost of a guitar is in the hardware. A lot more seems to be in the fit and finish. You know the eye candy effect. With the trend in relicking IMHO the finish isn't as important as it once was.

    I bought a $15 'RC propeller bit' that goes from 8MM to 10MM and use it in a small drill press to make 10MM diameter deep-enough holes from the rear of the headstock and then installed a set of $25 Wilkinson tuning machines. Easy to do ...

  • @edwinstovall3334
    @edwinstovall3334 2 роки тому

    One thing I would have done differently is to perform a full fret job. I did that with a Peavey Raptor Plus EXP I rescued from a pawn shop, and it made a LOT of difference! I was also able to replace its bridge with a brass and steel unit, which improved the tone so much that I'm loathe to replace the pickups. The stock, cheap ceramic pups sound so good now that I can't bring myself to put in the Alnicos I bought for the purpose! I keep telling myself, "I don't want better tone ... I want THAT tone!" That would be hard to do on that Ibanez; my experience with them is that they make so-so upgrade platforms. Too many nonstandard parts.
