Ibanez Gio GRG7221QA 7-String - Transparent Black Sunburst

とても嬉しいです

Preis akzeptabel, aussehen und Design top aber die Lieferanten sind schweine ! So oft kam die instrumente zerstört an !

I absolutely loved the look of this guitar the moment I saw it, but I kept finding excuses not to buy it. I finally caved in at Christmas, only to have it sell out the moment I clicked the “proceed to checkout” button. I checked in every day for months to see if it had come back in stock, so I was very excited when it finally became available. I hadn't played 7 string in years, so it took a little while to warm up to it. I wanted to use it for a few months before leaving a review so that I could a) develop a comfort level with the instrument, and b) see if any issues arose in that time. So far, I have to say I’ve been extremely impressed, and this is usually the guitar I automatically reach for when I feel like playing. Appearance: I’m a huge fan of maple necks, and that’s really what drew me to this guitar. The metallic blue finish is truly gorgeous, as well. It’s clear and deep with a wonderful sparkle, and the pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. I never expected to see a finish like this on an instrument in this price range, and it makes this guitar look more expensive than it is. The offsetting black hardware complements the aesthetic perfectly. Build quality: Ibanez manufacturing quality simply can’t be overstated. They consistently make excellent instruments, and the Gio range offers great value for money. Attention to detail is second to none, and it never seems like any corners are cut, even on budget models. The entire guitar feels very solid. The body carve is clean, and the neck joint is tight. The nut is cut nicely, and string travel to the tuners is virtually straight. That helps reduce binding and tuning issues, and the tuning machines themselves work very well. The fixed bridge is solid, and the string-through-body design should help improve resonance. I was particularly pleased to see that the strings are well-centered over the pickup pole pieces. Fretwork is generally good. The fret ends are very smooth, but the frets themselves were a tad scratchy and definitely needed a polishing. Playability: The neck is chunkier than I expected, especially since Ibanez necks usually tend to be very thin. It takes a little while to acclimate to it, but the flat radius makes it very smooth to play. The large cutaways and all-access neck joint ensure unrestricted access to the upper frets. The bridge is simple but stable. It’s comfortable on the hand, and it responds well to palm muting. The low B string could be a little tighter, however, so I plan to use a heavier gauge when I restring. Sound: This is clearly designed with metal and shred in mind, but it has a lot more versatility than many might presume at a glance. The instrument’s natural voice is clear and bell-like, with that distinctively smooth Ibanez glassiness on the high end. The low end is much looser and woofier than I expected, however, and I had to cut the bass and add in more mids on my amplifier to tighten it up. It's quite resonant, and the solid construction allows good sustain. The volume and tone knobs are responsive, and the guitar cleans up nicely when you roll back the volume. Best of all, the pickups retain their basic tonal character without getting muddy. The two humbuckers are wired to a 5-way switch, offering a number of split-coil settings you don't usually see on a two-pickup guitar. The bridge and neck positions sound full and detailed, and the split settings are voiced nicely (though a bit more brash than actual single coils). I especially liked position 3 (both pickups on), as the resulting sound lies somewhere between a humbucker and a single coil. Intangibles: My guitar arrived with the strings about a centimeter off the neck. It didn’t take much time to fix, but it could be an issue for younger players who aren’t experienced with basic setup work. I left a comment for the seller, and they replied saying Amazon asks them not to do any work on instruments before they're shipped out. That makes buying online a bit less attractive in my opinion. Regardless, you'll probably want to factor an extra $50-100 into the price so that you can take it to a local shop for a full setup when it arrives. At $349.99, I think this guitar is priced very attractively. The build quality and finish work are far above what you’d expect for the price range. It’s an excellent guitar for the money, but you may want to budget a little extra money to get a full setup. Regardless, I’m very pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. My rating: 4.5 stars
