just went to music shop look for ibanez guitar


i need idea to recommend on the following...which model is better?
like i'ts sound quality, function, wood quality

for playing rock type music

Model GRG150



GRX20


GRG170DX



GRG220DEX

im a big ibanez fan & user, and my advice is., avoid any ibanez GIO series

Not that they are not good deals for entry level instruments but Gio series need a bit of setup and breaking in to sound and feel good.. and you might want to go for either the double locking trems or fixed bridge models as you might have trouble keeping the normal tremolo bridges in tune..

GRG170dx

save up a lil bit more, and go for ibanez RG321, easy and simple
plus, with a lil mod, it can be a vital rig for u. locking tuners, dimarzio pickups on both position, and heavier string gauge

i think you should get something with a fixed bridge, less hassle since those low end models have horrible trems

hey peeps out there, i would like to know what do you guys think about d Ibanez S670fm . Any comment about tis guitar?

ic, thank for d ideas..
ppl usually call the G series economic version of ibanez

if with the same price as the G series

is there other brand n model recommend, and better than G series?
humbucker two coils type

What you should save up for is the RG Series, since the models you listed are all based on the RG anyway.
It's just a little bit more expensive, but PM Dead Eye and you might get a good price out of it.

the red 1 looks nice

but ibanez RG too common d...
its like everyone's grandma also has one.

good guitar nonetheless

Same goes to strats and LPs(even more so)...

wat about ibanez S670fm ? wat do u guys tinnk bout it??

really? in the indie scene u rarely see people gigging with Gibson LP.

Keep it to Ibanez talk please.

Yes, the RG series is everywhere........ but there must be a reason why it's so popular, right?

Most of the models, even the lower end ones, has a great build for both rhythm and soloing stuff. The only problem is that the trems (ESPECIALLY the Edge3) don't hold up too well with lots of abuse. They are good trems, but you really have to take care of it.
Best solution? Get one with a string-thru option.

Ibanez guitars are made to be very much a player's guitar. You can abuse or trash 'em, but they just keep on working... and they are the most technically advanced guitar you can find for very little money. Just look at the various trem, neck, pickup, finish and body designs they have brought up over the past 30 years..


It's a high mid range guitar in the S series, get it if you are looking for mahogany tone with short scale warmth...

did you read gapnap's blog post about new ibanez guitars?

how about ibanez bass guitars?

Yeah try to avoid GIO series as i had them before...try getting a rg350dx or rg370dx (both are similar). Though its priced at 1.4k-1.6k but its a good investment.

hmm. just saw a video of Army Of Three. Local band. one of the guitarist was using a Gio IINM. haha
