Ibanez GRG121DX BKF GIO - black flat

A guitar doesn't have to cost a bundle to sound good. The IBANEZ GIO GRG121DX BKF solid body electric guitar was developed for players who want Ibanez quality in a more affordable package. Not only do they look and play better than everything else in their price range, but their rigorous inspection, set-up and warranty is the same as Ibanez's more expensive models.

Used during decades in boat and airplane building, west african native Okoume is a great low density tonewood for electric guitars (John Suhr has been using it for many years).
Sonically, it can be considered as Mahogany with a brighter high end and more dynamic range, improving the clarity of the guitar.

The fingerboard is made of Purpleheart. It's a dense tonewood recalling brazilian Rosewoods.
