i had one a few years back when i was starting...an a blue rg270...then i realized i have no use for the single coil in the middle so began my GAS days... :-D it did the job back then...a major complain everybody said was that it had the unstable ILT trem...but i had no problems with mine...a memorable guitar indeed...sadly i have no pictures... :-(

Gamit ko ngayon red na GRG270. Late 2007 ko pa nabili to second hand galing sa tropa ko. Eto yung first guitar ko kasi dati nabuhay ako sa hiram haha! Yung pickup sa gitna di ko ginagamit kasi may hum. Balak ko palitan ng tonezone yung bridge pickup nito pag may budget na. Di rin ako ganu gumagamit ng trem so wala ako ganung problema. Ilang beses ko na pinag planuhan ibenta to para mag upgrade kaso di ko mabitawan haha. Bibili na lang ako ng bagong guitar pag nakaipon, di ko bibitawan yung GIO; sobrang dami naming pinagsamahan  :-D

Shouldn't this fall under the Ibanez guitar users thread?

Agree w/ Van.



I tried other Ibby's but I just decided to stick with this one and have it souped up. Already installed Dimarzio Breeds and still hunting for a middle pup to compliment the bridge. Had the headstock repainted to match the body but no decal yet.

I bought my bandmate's GAX 30 for sentimental reasons. Yun kasi yung ginamit ko sa MTV VJ Hunt Campus Tour sa UP Diliman. It was the first time my girlfriend saw me play live so the guitar that I used during that gig became kinda special. I've only used it once after I bought it. It was during the Family day ng Chase Card Services sa NBC Tent (note: hindi po ako taga Chase hehe). I used two guitars that night.. and both got wet when it rained after the 4th song (yes, the stage was outdoors). It still sounds great though.. But it will never stand up to my RG..



Left: GAX30 w/ kill switch
Right: RGR321EX w/ Rockfield pups

ang Ibanez ko GRG220Dex.. floyded..

ako naman kaya naman ito pinili ko..

these are still good guitars.. kahit sabihin na eto ang "entry-level" guitars from Ibanez..

kung tutuusin, kung gusto mo pang iimprove ang gitara mo, get a luthier, pashave mo ang neck, palit ka pickups.. refret.. then, DONE! cooler than ever! 8-)

I had 3 before, first version GRX720(gio 7string), GAX75 and GSA370QM

GRX720 was the best bang for the buck you could get back then

GAX75 it was great but the body profile annoyed me a bit

GSA370-QM, i liked this guitar after it was upgraded

Is the pricing close against the regular counterparts? China made pa rin ba ang Gio?

Gawd. I'd like to try a GRX720. But I guess they're hard to find nowadays..
Anyway, I had one before. It was a GRG150 in candy apple. I agree, the CA finish looked nice, but mine was manufactured around '04 (based on the serial number), back in the days when the gio finishes were as thin as the Prestige lines. It was great for the price, the only thing I really disliked were the pickups. :-)

I think those are set-in necks, according to the Ibanez website. I might be wrong though. :-)

:-o sir pa send naman po ng link nyan.. kasi mahirap maka hanap ng catalog ng GIOs eh..di lahat ata nasa site  :?

kamukha nung sinasabi ko yung nasa classifieds ngayun na korean copy ..na mukhang SA series.. black yung neck.. i think neck through or set neck na may paint lang siguro..
