Frequently Asked Questions

Is this guitar only for metal?
While the RG was forged for metal, the GIO series is incredibly versatile. The pickup configuration allows for crisp clean tones suitable for pop and funk, as well as the thick distortion required for hard rock and heavy metal.

What is "Art Grain"?
Art Grain is a high-resolution decorative top that replicates the intricate patterns of expensive quilted maple. This allows Ibanez to offer a stunning, high-end look while keeping the instrument affordable for students and intermediate players.

Does it include a case?
The GRG120QA does not include a gig bag or case. We recommend choosing a padded electric guitar bag from our accessories range to protect the finish during transport.
