first electric gyitar
th.n 01.03.2021
i playing guitar only a year and this is my first electric guitar.
its a lightweight guitar and as a beginner guitarist is very useful and this allow you to practise without cause you pain on your foot . The neck is thin and very fast . The humbuckers sounds very nice and if you combine it with a good amp it has nothing to envy towards more expensive guitars and it is very beautiful .
if you are a beginner or medium level guitar player is the right guitar for you in proportion to the money it costs

Excellent guitar for the price, but the pickups are garbage
BESG 22.06.2022
This is a beautiful and amazing project guitar. You don't need much to make it awesome! Just change the pickups. Although that amazing looking matched top looks like wood, it's not. It's printed, but who cares? It looks great anyway! The nut is good, although a little high for my taste. Tuners are decent and keep the guitar in tune well. The frets are a decent enough job with no protruding extremities, but they'll surely benefit from a nice polishing job. The fretboard was somewhat dry, but a little lemon oil solved that. The neck is a one piece bolt on with a glued headstock. Not the strongest combination but as long as you don't use insane tension on the strings it will be fine. String action came pretty high but intonation was not that bad. Nothing that a nice setup can't fix. Besides, even much more expensive guitar have the same issue and need a setup anyway... The pickups are absolute garbage. Muddy lows and lack of highs (even when in single coil mode). Do yourself a favour and change the pickups right away. Even cheap Chinese aftermarket pickups sound better than this. Personally I put some Fishman Fluence Devin Townsend pickups and WOW, this guitar really came to life right away! Now it sounds amazing! The reason I'm mentioning the Fishman pickups is because these are active and need a 9V battery, and the electronics cavity on this guitar is small. Also, the jack plug is plastic and seems to be of a proprietary design. It's mono and in my case I needed a stereo one (because of the active pickups). The jack input and cover are one piece only, so I ended up cutting the jack input to keep the cover and through that cover I inserted a Switchcraft barrel stereo jack input. The guitar's potentiometers are small and fit in some recessed holes. So, keep that in mind if you need to replace them. I did (stock ones are 250K and active pickups require 25K). Mine were big, so installing them required a little massaging here and there. As I deleted the tone pot and put the volume pot in its place, I ended up with plenty of room for the battery. I also changed the pickup selector switch and installed an extra (small) switch. The cavity size is more than enough for my specific needs, but please plan accordingly beforehand. Overall, a really good guitar for the price. You don't need to change much, but changing pickups is a must.

Absolutely Amazing
aepr08 03.03.2021
This guitar is beutifull, the finish is unbelievable, looks very expensive, the quality of the contruction is very good, keep tune all the time. Action is slightly high and strings are bit hard to press but nothing that a good set up won't fix.

Great for the price
Garyliving 05.03.2023
I was guitar shopping, as an intermediate non-professional player, for an electric guitar, mid-price range, meaning under a 1000eu. I play at home with a 15watt Vox and/or a DAW. I am happy to own a Ibanez AS 120 vintage. But it’s hard to get to the high frets and i was looking for something with 24 frets. I was able to have shipped a number of guitars, that i could easily return, thanks to this site and other similar sites. I went through a Epiphone SG; a Fender Player Lead III; a Yamaha Revstar standard (the $800 version): an Epiphone ES 335 (came with a busted tuner!); a Charvel Pro-mod DK 24; a Sire Larry Carlton S7; I also played in a shop all the Fender Players, Squires and imports that you could shake a stick at; and a PRS SE; and from a private person a Gibson SG (used for 700eu).

All of theses guitars were stiff, without personality, expensive for what they could and could not do and just did not feel like my guitar. Then I tried in a shop this Ibanez GRGR221PA. It’s cheap; plays damn well for the price and the neck is player friendly for me. I stripped off the ugly fake Poplar Burl paint down to it’s original wood. The layer of Poplar was so thin the Okoume started coming through as I sanded away the fakes Burl spots but i am leaving it rough like this. The Okoume is quite lovely on the sides and back. Maybe I will upgrade the electronics later: the switch, pickups and wiring are all quite cheap and so I am having to learn how to solder now. The tuners holds tune well and bridge hardware is fine; the intonation is easy to set-up and the fret and neck action is OK for this price range.

So my point is: why pay a thousand euro for a mediocre guitar when I can have a decent guitar for a third of the price of all those I tried? (esp. given today’s guitar technology.) Sure i would like a $3000 custom/high end guitar but I am not even sure that would be worth it. All in all I am happy with this budget guitar that i can adapt, change and switch out the parts. Highly recommend as a first guitar or something to have as an alternative.

first ibañez guitar
toynats 05.06.2023
finally i have own this brand, looking at this guitar it looks good and sounds good the action is already low good for playing but i have an issue with my unit it hums even with clean sound maybe because of the humbucker pick ups or maybe need to be properly ground and sometimes it goes out of tune and with the 6th string high E string it sounds little not the same define sound with the G string and B string open i dont know how to describe it thats the only downside i see probably with my unit only i dont know if others who buy this guitar experience it because most youtube videos i see all reviews of this guitar is good thats why i bought this hoping for good sounding guitar with not so much price but overall it is playable good for practice.... i use this guitar for almost a month now with my headrush mx5 using headphones only still looking forward to buy a guitar amp..

Nice guitar
saoru 28.10.2022
Everything is in this guitar good.
But objectively, material of the guitar are not that good. However, suits beginners and newbies in guitar. Nice option if you want to learn how to play.
Pickups are good since the sound is bright and light, metal is played very well

Excellent Guitar for all levels.
Jek. 05.05.2023
This guitar is absolutely fantastic. The action is wonderful. The neck is smooth and the guitar in general is absolutely beautiful looking.
I've been playing guitar for a long time now and this is up there with one of the best I've purchased. I run my guitar through an orange crush 20rt and use a Tube Amp Modeler to give it some extra juice and it sounds brutal.
Personally I feel this guitar is very underpriced for what you get. It's a steal!
Weather you're a new player or have been playing for years, this guitar will not let you down.

Amazing guitar at an incredibly low price point!!
Appk 26.06.2023
Been a superstrat fan since the 80's. I own Ibanez, Charvel, Jackson and Kramer superstrats. Also have a few Harley Benton Tele's and LP's. But it's the superstrats I really love. This Ibanez GRGR221PA-AQB is just stunning. Beautifully made and absolute eye-candy! It's very well built too, great sound out of the pups and the action only required slight lowering. I cannot believe how amazing this guitar is for only €276 !! I highly recommend buying one.
