Whether you favour a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument.
Superb Quality, Affordable Price
A guitar doesn’t have to cost a lot to sound great. The GIO series was developed for players who want Ibanez quality and performance in a more affordable package. Not only do they look and play better than many other offerings in their price range, but they are held to the same standards and come with a warranty that is the same as Ibanez’s more expensive models.
Roasted Maple neck
The Roasted Maple neck is heat-treated to increase stability, durability, moisture resistance and tolerance to temperature changes. The Graphite reinforcement rods provide massive sustain and excellent stability.
Purpleheart fretboard
The Purpleheart fretboard emphasizes the beauty and the rich tonal character of this bass.
Jumbo frets
Jumbo frets contribute to smooth playability, especially for single-note playing.
Poplar Burl Art Grain top / Okoume body
The Poplar Burl Art Grain top features an exotic wood grain and the Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound.
Classic Elite pickups
Classic Elite pickups offer a rich, nuanced tone with fat low-end.
T106 tremolo
The T106 tremolo bridge with 6 independent saddles makes precise height and intonation adjustment of each string easy.
Mono-unit output jack
The mono-unit output jack is made of solid, durable material and is a single piece to avoid unwanted movement and loosening of the jack, which leads to contact failure or disconnection. This innovation allows for long-term playing enjoyment and minimal maintenance.
