kung sa quality..... at sa price.....
mura talaga..... the quality of craftmanship on GBs are very good indeed..... and the fact that they are made in indonesia is ok na...... siguro ang downside lang ng GBs are the pickups.... eventhough they say that its a SEYMOUR DUNCAN DESIGNED pickups, like for my TORINO 4 (SG cut). for me its a bit dark.... but when i put a bit of tone on my amp and a treble booster on my pedal board.... it is eased.... and putting a nice set of string... pare! hindi ka na talo.... tunog pang sabayan sa mamahalin talaga..... but still its very dependent sa amp and pickups..... so set-up lang talaga......
compared sa GIOS..... hmmmm..... i tried one of those and saw the quality over genuine ibanez at AUDIOPHILE (correct me if im wrong)..... and to GREG BENNETS at LAZER music stores.....
for me
1. IBANEZ (genuine)
2. SAMICK Greg Bennett Designs
3. IBANEZ Gio
medyo nagdoubt ako sa quality ng GIO IBANEZ.... looking at the details, craftmanship, the harwares(which are critical parts of a guitar), and etc.... over GBs......
although stock ibanez gio pickups are good pa din..... un lang siguro ang nilamang ng IBANEZ GIO over samick GBs..... for me lang ah......
but to really take the two on a very reasonable comparison... i suggest take time to test the guitars.... sa raon i saw both brands GIO and GB except genuine ibanez...... STAGE POINT has them both ata and some shop naman puro GIOs na..... i prefer test them.... they have good models of GIOS and GREGIES... including RG modelds for gio, and FORMULA(Telecaster cut), TORINO, AVION(LP cut) for GBs..... try them mga bossing..... they are very tempting talaga...... andun na yung 2 brand now test na lang..... good luck.... hope this helped a bit
+1 for bennett
+99 for IBANEZ US
