  • What’s not to like about an Ibanez guitar? Looks great, plays great and is affordable.
Color: Black
Ibanez, what can I say? Always a great guitar no matter the price point it feels like. This one came in one day delivery, delivered with care, and when I opened it, it was packed well,practically tuned;just needed to tune a few strings. The sound is great. The feel is fantastic. I really like the feel of the neck and fretboard on Ibanez guitars. I have an entry level RG I got about 20 years ago, that is still a great guitar; I expect just the same from this. The color scheme is nice and tasteful in my opinion and it plays so easy. I'll be trading in my fender Stratocaster, I just never got use to it. Nice job Ibanez. Nice job Amazon, too,with the shipping–the thing arrived the next day in as good as condition as I would imagine a guitar could. Guitar came packed very well I thought. ... show more

  • A fantastic guitar worth getting.
Color: Black
First of all this is a very beautiful guitar with a flat black finish and red accents all around with a red pick guard. Second of all I had it shipped to me, and out of the box it was very well set up. The only thing that I had to do was adjust the truss rod on the neck. Surprisingly it was mostly in tune. The frets were also filed down. You don’t see that in alot of other guitars, even in guitar shops.Especially the squire guitars. The neck is some kind of wood from New Zealand and it plays very similar to the wizard III necks on the RG guitars. It does play very fast. It also does not buzz anywhere on the entire neck. The pick ups seem to be very generic, not the Ibanez infinity pick ups. Clean sounds very good, but on overdrive and or distortion it gets a bit muddy. I plan on replacing the bridge pick up anyway. All in all this is a fantastic guitar and I would highly recommend it for a beginner to intermediate.It seems to serve all purposes. ... show more

  • Just Great Out Of The Box
Color: Black
This is an hidden gem in my opinion, setup out of the box was good. I would have given it 5 stars, but the nut was tight around the strings. I had to open the gaps a little to stop binding. As for the pickups, I found the bridge pickup rocks. Great for rock and metal tone and with a high gain amp I also got great harmonic response. The neck was warm but muddy, but sounded ok. This is one of the best starter rock guitars that I have found. The rear or bridge pickup is f-spaced so it has just little bit more string spacing around bridge, good for beginners. Neck is fast and easy to play, and I have short fat fingers. I picked this up for gigging, and I changed out the pickups and did a setup on it. Stays in tune not that the nut was cut, light weight and easy on the back. Pods feel good and tight with no noise when you turn the tone or volume knobs. 5 way switch also feels great with strong clicks, and gives lots of options when playing. This is now my main go to guitar now, even in my home studio for recordings. The finish on the guitar also looked and felt great, I could not find any bad spots. ... show more

  • Love this guitar - exceptional value!
Color: Black
Great guitar for the money. Sure, you can spend thousands on guitars, but for 99% of people, why? This plays well, the switch and knobs are solid, and stays in tune well. The mat black with red looks very nice - accent colors on neck look great. Guitar has good weight, not too heavy, not too light. Love this guitar! ... show more

  • Absolutely fabulous Guitar.
Color: Black
This guitar is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. I love everything about it, it feels great, it's built well and ready to play out of the box. Playability is fantastic, no buzzing and it's great for both experienced players as well as beginners.

  • Nice Guitar
Color: Black
This is a very nice guitar for the price range. It arrived 2 days earlier than expected, it was well packaged for protection. The finish was flawless, and it really is a beautiful guitar. Took it out of the box, tuned it and it played beautifully. The 5-way switch is a plus. The action is excellent, and the intonation is excellent. I normally play Fender Strats but wanted to try an Ibanez and I can say, even though it is a beginner guitar, I'm not disappointed. I recommend this guitar to anyone starting out who is looking for an inexpensive guitar that plays and sounds great. ... show more

  • Excellent
Color: Black
Very pretty guitar and it plays great. I didn't do any setup at all because it arrived perfect for how I like a guitar setup to be. The neck isn't super thin but more like a thin "c" I guess. Frets are fine with no sharp ends or sprouts. It stays in tune okay and so the tuners and bridge are okay. The knobs and switches are fine. The pickups sound pretty good but I may replace the bridge but that is a matter of preference. There's nothing wrong with the way they are. Overall, this is an excellent guitar at this price point. In fact, I like it better than guitars I own that are much more expensive. This is a fantastic investment for the person just getting into guitar for sure. And even a guitar veteran will find a lot to like here. Totally recommend the Ibanez GRG131DXBKF. ... show more
