Ibanez Gio GRGR131EX-BKF Black Flat - Electric Guitar

Straight out the box this guitar looked and played like a pro. Lightweight and stealthy looking. Fantastic metal guitar. Perfect tones, action nice and light. Really impressed. Ibanez have created an affordable alternative that won't empty your bank account and plays like a dream.

Love this guitar for a number of reasons. Looks great, plays well straight out the box. Sounds great. Definitely felt like I got more for my money with this guitar.

Beautiful guitar and perfect for the first time shredder. Oil the wooden neck (if you want) and your'e sweet. Comfortable and ergonomic. It's black on black. What's not to like?

She’s a beauty got me back into playing can’t put it down fantastic affordable guitar

I previously had the blue Ibanez from the GIO range. This review is for the cheaper GIO stealth series - black flat. I ordered it so I can keep the blue one always tuned to E & use the black one for other tunings.This black guitar was about £100 cheaper than the blue one, in spite of that it still seems to give the same sound quality & has the same high level of quality.Every edge is rounded off and smoothed nicely. It's a pleasure just to hold, the smoothness makes it almost frictionless as you slide your hand up and down the fretboard.I've had my blue one for 6months and have no complaints, for sound and build the black guitar feels the same quality (a more experienced guitar player may notice some difference). My blue one holds tune for at least a month, it's too early for me to rate how long the black one stays in tune. If it's less than a month I'll come back and edit (if this review is over a month old when you read it then the black guitar stayed in tune for at least a month).I've only had it about 6hrs, about the only downside to this guitar so far is that the flat black shows up even the slightest fingerprint. If you think that may bother you then another colour may suit you better.

Brought this as a used product from Amazon, apart from some very minor cosmetic issues the guitar is surprisingly good for the money you pay!It’s an aggressive looking guitar and has some interesting pickup combinations with the 5 way switch.Matte black all around including the logo, so you don’t even know it’s a gio guitar!Neck feels good and setup can be done easily since it’s a fixed bridge.

The media could not be loaded. Very good guitar no problems at all comes set up properly and fretboard feels very nice. Only problem is it can collect dust easily due to the matte finish but that’s no problem to me personally. It is light weight, looks sick and plays very well, you can do some very cool stuff with the pickups especially the bridge one. Best for metal and rock music but can do other genres aswell if you wish. Probably one of the best guitars out there for under £300

The media could not be loaded. The guitar arrived in just the standard guitar box, no packaging, driver apologised as he received it like that and was worried about the contents.Despite the box being broken and damaged, I thought the guitar was in good nick since I didn’t notice anything at first but after looking at it properly, noticed it has been slightly chipped off at the back which was very disappointing.Other than that, it is a very nice guitar and good affordable price.
