Review: Really good quality and attention to detail - Just a great guitar for the price, set up was satisfactory except the intonation was off a bit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where was the guitar made ? mexico ? indonesia? china ? would love to know thank youuuuuu**
A: Most Ibanez guitars are made in Japan, China, and Indonesia. This GRGR221 is made in China.

**Q: What is the weight?**
A: My floor scale says it's about 6.8 lbs., but I don't know how accurate it is.

**Q: Will this be completely set up?**
A: My guitar was playable right out of the box. But a "set up" comes down to preference. I changed strings to the gauge I like. Set my tuning and action. Hopefully shipping was smooth. Ifyou are a beginner that feel will come to you through playing experience. Mine arrived quite close to my liking though. Enjoy !!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Beautiful Guitar for a Bargain!
*by V***R on October 27, 2022*

What really drew me in was the incredible look of this guitar. It has a high-quality aesthetic just by it’s looks. The blue burst color is just so unique and it stands out among my other guitars. I firmly believe in the idea of buying an instrument that makes you want to pick it up and play it. This one certainly does that for me! Enough about aesthetics, let’s talk build quality. So first and foremost you can’t expect top of the line with a budget/intro guitar like this. However, I will say that I was thoroughly impressed by it. Pros: It’s comfortable to play. The body style and shape are fairly versatile and comfortable for all players either standing or sitting. It’s a great beginner instrument just for this. The neck shape. I personally like the shape of this next. To me, it doesn’t feel super thin but it’s also not too thick and chunky. It has a good balance and feels relatively easily to play. Toggle switch. Pretty awesome to have a 5-way selector switch to really switch up your tone. All of my previous HH setup guitars just had a 3-way, but I like the versatility of the 5-way on this. The hip shot style bridge. Never had one like this before but I like the design. It’s alright for what it is and I certainly prefer it over the meticulousness of a cheap tremolo system on many budget guitars. Somewhat cons these aren’t necessarily bad but just not up to snuff: The tuners. They aren’t bad they’re just fine. Don’t expect the greatest stability ever but you might be surprised that they aren’t total trash. The fretwork. It’s a bit rough in spots. Of the guitars I own this is the only one that I can feel a bit of inconsistency and rough edges on the metal edges of the frets. As in, running my fingers along the edges of the neck I can feel some frets that feel tougher than others. Perhaps my biggest gripe when it comes to playability and quality. Pickups. Again, these are fine and they do the job. I think the neck has a pretty warm sound especially on a dialed in clean channel. Metal and rock on the bridge can get a bit muddy, and when comparing them to actives, they just don’t have as much bite and punch in a distorted tone. They still do the job and having a 5 way switch sort of makes up for them since you can get a bit more variation. Overall though, you can’t really beat this value. It’s a fantastic looking instrument that sounds good, and plays pretty well. Barring the few quality control issues, you’re getting a name brand guitar that’s going to hold up and be great for either a beginner who’s just starting, or an advanced musician that just needs a beat around guitar.
