All user reviews for the Ibanez Gio GRG170DX

Guitar indonsienne and not Chinese I think he! alder body, 2 humbuckers 1 single micro (MSM), slecteur 5 positions, rosewood fingerboard 24 frets, chrome hardware FAT10 bridge, one volume knob and one tone and the style: shark tooth inlays. For more information ------> https://www.ibanez.co.jp/world/products/eg/page/GRG170DX-1P_JB_e.html

UTILIZATION

I found the handle super class to see the price! It glides really well, no problem with Access in acute BMOL would only fret too big to my taste. I think the guitar was already in its typ mtal a ct, and the points can be quite uncomfortable, but the ergonomics are good trs. The guitar may be a bit heavy it is, but really nothing to panic, you can play standing or sitting with no problem.

SOUNDS

Axemtal guitar, but watch everything is relative, nothing to do with a Flying V! The microphones are not based trs good quality but the guitar is very versatile. I play right on Marshall MG30DFX and can print some great grsillements center position, but I find the overdrive sound good. The guitar is not limited to the big sounds of the positions 1 and 2, it can also have a little distortion for a good blues in position 5. In clean channel on the other hand must stay on the 5-position if you want sound, but you can get it!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year, and this guitar is an excellent quality-price. Its default would be his easel and microphones, but for that price I find the handle really fast and enjoyable! It's a guitar advise beginners who want to get a real sound for cheap. Trs good guitar for that price, I think if I had to stay beginners I buy it back, otherwise it is better to change if you want a real heavy guitar ...

Neck pickup: PSND1 (double)
Micro Middle: NSDP (single)
Bridge pickup: PSND2 (double)
I think it's an indo ... I'm very on.
Micro switch <5 positions.

UTILIZATION

-The neck is super nice and that's why what I like so much! It is fine and super convenient to do so well known Ibanez.
- Yeah super easy thanks to the shape of the gutar.
Yes the rg170 is very light super handy output jack on the side "made in ibanez" is special but it is' better to play up.

SOUNDS

Yes I jou-rock, hard, especially metal and metal neo lack a little bit of puisance in saturated if it is almost aprfait for a guitar so small price.
MARSHALL MG30DFX AMP-
"I give my guitar a very" low "for a heavy sound and very serious in saturated <mo nreglage makes the guitar very well.
- Jj'adore play in full on the 6th string and the first case the sound is heavy and super fun. I am not a fan of clean but it's personal

OVERALL OPINION

IT CAN BE USED-I for 6 months and I regret it.
- It's weight and handling sda and I like her mouth, she has such a pretty face scratched.
Yes, quite level, but money was the best.
-As I said earlier level money is really extraordinary.
Yes your eyes closed!

This guitar is made Indonsie, it has three pickups: 2 humbuckers and one single coil, a slecteur five positions, one volume and one tone. E Channel 24 boxes, rosewood fingerboard, back style "shark teeth" (finishing "DX"). The bridge is a fat10.

UTILIZATION

The neck is fast and very enjoyable trs, and Access in acute is ais. I find it a bit heavy going but again, there are much worse. Ct form nothing to say, if not the top point that could GNER larger in Access in treble.

SOUNDS

I play mostly metal (black metal has even my hours) on a Marshall MG100DFX, so I use the bridge pickup in gnral, which (I think) is the only road to take: just grsille and the neck position is enjoyable in pa distortion. on the other hand in clean, the tendency is reversed: the bridge pickup a lot its a lousy trs unlike the neck pickup, but that price can not be demanding.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since June 2004 and I souaite change, but for that price, I think it is difficult to have a better new one. Clearly this is a good guitar trs for beginners, but more experiments to adconseiller. Its major weakness is its microphones, is his strong point is its price and its handle. I do not refer this choice, although trs correct for beginners.

This guitar is made in Indonesia, given its normal prix.elle dipose dun handle 24 cases, 3 pickups (neck and bridge and hambekers simple micro) fat10 easel.
For the settings there are two big fat one knob for audio and one for the tone and selector 5positions dun.
vissé.design original sleeve

UTILIZATION

A handle at the beginning and quite pleasant surprises Given the price of this machine.
However, for players with the past we quickly realized that this race is a bit overstated by critiques.je mexplique: it is so fast that it pa strings are very high compared to the frets that are moreover a little too thick for my taste the gene for the solos, the fingers have a little trouble making the transition from a rope and slid on the manche.Il remains pleasant during the acute rhythmic and quite accesible.
The tools, however, remains quite good with good ergonomics and ease of use (only 2potards). So I put 6 / 10 because my marlgres exigency it still finds some strengths.

SOUNDS

The is another story because it has 2hambeckers and a microphone so simple selector 5position (classical). The sound that comes out of the amp is a bit messy with the disto gressille and most of the time. its clean you do not use the handle remains hambecker drinking and one for playing with the other position disto.les sizzles and are too cafouillage.je plays mostly blues and rock vieu good years and 60.70 The resulting sound is not really satisfactory (more focused metal guitar)! it is true that, given the price the quality is still good we do not t pa atendre perfection was € 250!
So that's why I 6 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

I have this Ibanez for a year, I was seduced first by the price of the machine but also by its handle compared to what is found in the same gamme.le sound is still acceptable due to the price. After a year I m'ennuis on this guitar and I will change against a tradition limmited S2002 is in a much higher price range.
GRG170DX the ibanez is a guitar that I strongly conceille a beginner who pa gro budget! this guitar is the best value on the market (for my taste). For the guitarists did not experience a big budget like me last year I conceille rather to break the piggy bank and investire immediately, I would do so pa this choice because I play depui 10 years but if I was beginner I would not hesitate!
So if you want a guitar meter: What are you waiting for? Jump on the case. (I would then put 7 / 10 in general because it is an excellent learning guitar)

UTILIZATION

The handle is what there are more enjoyable, flat end, ideal for solos

OVERALL OPINION

UTILIZATION

The neck is pretty good, flat and sharp at the CASC pluto great, but it may be better now!

As it is well that's for mtal the only problem and that changing the position of microphones that are causing grsillement trs Agga quickly.

SOUNDS

I play with an amp line 6 spider 2 212 (150 watt)
the sound is prfr position micro level bridge.
but I n'apprcie not micro cimple positions in the middle and micro level double sleeve!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year Minten
The particularity of this guitar is that it is precisely trs affordable price level for beginners who want to play the mtal but at a certain level we say that daya mieu on another guitar! !
I have not used a lot of MODEL!
it is all just my guitar teacher that my advice from on my ibanez and it does a good tip!
I do it again this election if j'tais beginners!
The thing I will not say about this guitar, but even if it takes me to say is: it is vrment low violin!
my drummer and my guitar teacher is dropped!
the patent was jumping, I said well jump! t the first time rsonnable 5 mm wingspan but the other monster t! at least 15 mm x 10 mm thickness which is big! Anyway I go count the last time I leave on other models (LTD MH 400 (without the floyd))

Ibanez GRG170DX, manufacturing in Indonesia, 24 frets, 2 humbuckers and a single brand Powersound, FAT10 tremolo, 1 volume knob and 1 tone and a 5-way switch, handle super flat (made in ibanez), color varnish, but a sublime not cheap (it is bar There's a shock that some violent)

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice, flat and fast, access is asser ague is good, it's asser lgre (3kg) and its look is overwhelming!

SOUNDS

I mainly play punk-grunge and metal and I find what is suitable to my style, first the look of the guitar is for metal, I play on an old amp rotten or otherwise of a marshall 15dfx a friend with a boss md-2 mt-2 or OD-1 and I think the sound is rather good at distortion, we get a very heavy and its very fat with the neck pickup, clean in the middle you get a sound like the country, which I find particularly nice, with the neck pickup gives a warm sound and the bridge pickup a much more acute! I love the clean use his "country" and I let the distortion bridge pickup, the only drawback is that the microphones quickly saturate asser!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months and I am satisfied, I switch between old crap (XP only take pa) has an ibanez and I immediately felt the difference! I like the look pest and shark teeth on the handle! I try other model in the store and that I was already typing ds the eye for its price (paid 280) and its level in the range of a compare some guitar same price and are downright moin Well! rappport the money is very good!
I would do this either with a big yes!

It is made indonsie, so with a finish that implies.
Casesn with a handle 24 microphones 2 double and 1 single and a slecteur 5 positions.
A bridge with vibrato quality mdiocre.
2 knobs (volume and tone)
Handle fast enough.

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice plutt as dj said, it is quite fast and therefore for a quick game is enjoyable if a handle is trivial.
Access in acute is correct, neither more nor less.
A weight honorable, a fairly standard form and a head ibanez, so must love.

SOUNDS

I play mostly classic metal (heavy / thrash / speed) so perspective distortion, the sound is going to correct for this award, I now have one with an amp and pedals right, holds up the guitar, we feel small weaknesses but that's all fine.
As against the clean sound is pretty awful I think, but There's a good way to pass a rgler for a little better.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than two years, I like the handle pretty cool, a guitar powerful enough (2 doubles), but it must be said that the finish (and this is normal price) is not great, especially for electronics.
However it remains a good guitar for this report qualitprix and I think now, if I had to take a guitar this price (c'tait my Premire) can be plutt I would see the c t to compare with Epiphone, but I would be indcis to choose between the two.
A good guitar to start.

- 24 frets (it's cool!)
- Two buttons:
- A volume
- A tone of
- 2 humbuckers and a single
- A micro slecteur 5 notches
- Clear up the points

UTILIZATION

The handle is a handle ... so trs ibanez vritable end and a comfort for the hand.
It happens quite easily treble.
BMOL body weight, I find it rather heavy.

SOUNDS

This guitar can suit all guitarists all genres! Thanks to these quality microphone, you can play the blues, pop-rock and the mtal no problem, its acoustic sound is really good, even suprieur a guitar worth 100 more.
I play a marshall 30 watt amp and a Boss distortion pedals turbo.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since September 2005 and it's not tomorrow that I sell!
What I like about this guitar is its neck too late.
To conclude this guitar for its price, and concurrency exptionnelle guitars range suprieur

That says it all, no need to ramble ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is thin, not too wide, which finally typical Ibanez. This can also be a lightweight adaptation problem, especially when changing the Ibanez for a type D handle most classical.

Access in acute is impeccable ', nothing wrong, a skyscraper of shredders carefree as enjoyable rhythm in (no need to place the hands of loggers bars).

The weight is reasonable, the shape is oriented metal, no doubt. The chamfer the rear adds comfort. Concerns: the bridge. I mean for a nag, the friction of the strings on the bridge, just the location where they leave the body (and thus suffer a high voltage accentuates their curves) is strong enough, may breaks relatively frquent (not the high E string). M'enfin the price of the set of strings, it's frankly not rbarbatif, and then gently play poses no problem.

Other dtail: the strings are high from the factory, but a tower cl RULES the problem and not a frieze of the masses.

The knobs are not gniaux, it's all or nothing, is not one of his pet, or all of a sudden donf '...

Finally, the madmen of vibrato, prvoyez your tuner (or you could buy a MODEL with Floyd Rose). For those who like me did not square, the place of agreement is satisfactory trs.

SOUNDS

I play on a Digitech GNX-1, which overlooks a Peavey Studio Pro 112. Byzantium m'enfin I am not poor me.

The sound is metal, it is an obviousness, the less metal oriented, yet with good rglages trs can have good surprises.

From the outset, in distortion, doubles are convincing: the bridge pickup is aggressive, the notes dtachent well, the neck is fat, but I confess, I use little. In his clear, the bridge pickup is bright trs, even too, and can, when you play a height not marshall, s'avrer loud in the treble. The neck pickup is round, not m'enfin terrible on balance there is not much.

But the surprise comes from the micro simple, in the middle. Its distortion, it is prcis, and susceptible to attack, not bad for a simple, not too much to hum and other noise. Clearly, this is the big slap, a simple sound, neither too bright nor too round, which is close (relatively guards) of a sound. It is sometimes a little skinny, but in any case to play rhythmic Arian, unhurriedly, a sacrment sounds good, I was personally sci.

The positions intermdiaires ... Bridge / simple = useless. Channel / single = not bad for a lightweight crunch, trs susceptible to attack (which made its trump card crunch). It allows you to regain some of roundness, the relative attnuer "scheresse" the simple while maintaining its precision.

I use to play rock / metal, mainly humbucker bridge distortion in simple and clear, with a little chorus is really stunning.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for ending for one year.

I like the flat handle, which not tire the hand of rhythm guitarist mostly I am.

I do not like vibrato. As' I make AIM the same type with an easel MODEL Tune-o-Matic, m'enfin good ... Otherwise, the neck pickup I got no useful trs, without much personality too fat for the metal-to-large-mchant too to play the blues.

The report is good quality for money, especially since this guitar is easily used, it is a case that beginners and you can not pay or RG Prestige ESP 1000 euros or more , go for it.

With exprience, I would do without this choice hsiter, as I am satisfied. But now j'conomise for LTD EC-400 ...

All adjacent said t

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable for a rhythm guitarist like me, you can play ss long tiring. CHAC the last cargo is easy. Even when it is quite heavy for my taste. Vibrato is a sacr conn ... we put a lot of time to settle it and ds we change any string not having the same voltage than before (eg 10 in the first half while silent as before 9) the vibrato moves a few inches and you can play ss rgler the new ... Trspnible

SOUNDS

The sound is soft, flowing bass when I prfre personally when they fart and direct attack. Tt is the micro or nothing! Is too acute or too serious, are those in the middle ... intermdiaires ... It does not differentiate enough the sound of each string damage ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for over a year and I flush the cap! What I have AIM on this guitar is the price ... which really is not high. Qualitprix and the report is good. I tried many guitars since my purchase and although I do not buy back more than a guitar lctrique 150. Prfre I put more money and keep it longer because one tires quickly of this trs GRG-170DX.

Good guitar for beginners ... I advise those who have money to buy them a little time APRS ...

-Made corrée (North I saw the non dobe lol)
-24 Frets (now you could say a lot less)
An easel-ibanez that does not route
Crappy-adjustable (to petes easily)

UTILIZATION

-The handle is very nice but is made of plywood Que Neni c shameful!
Access to acute-Yeah but I've seen better ...
Ergonomics well-polished but fragile and thick (as yet ReCache byzarre plywood as it basically hides the horror ca)

SOUNDS

-It is well suited to metal but not for long ...
"I have a line 6 spider2
Sound disgusting-worse than the CSR guitar pro ...
Recess-metal sound good but without comments

OVERALL OPINION

-I've had ... I know but it is a state pitteuse can almost 6 months (I play 2 to 3 hours of scratching per day)
-No I did not tried before ...
Wed-value for money ** that go your way there is better elsewhere ...
With non-experience of ever I save for a good mid-range ...

A very nice guitar Japanese basswood body, handle Saddle with rosewood fingerboard.
The neck is a Wizard 24 cases (it dates from 94 jumbo frets ...),. You get shark teeth on the handle as the current DX MODELS.
It has 2 humbuckers V7 and V8 original + a S1 in the middle ... Mine was quick to DiMarzios HRIT.
Rglages? not too exotic volume, Tone slecteur 5 positions
The bridge is a Floyd Rose.

UTILIZATION

Bon ben handle ... What is a Wizard, large and fine, super enjoyable to play ... Access in acute trs is good, I often go tickle box 24 ^ ^. J'apprcie also lgret the guitar (especially my back in fact), and the ergonomics are good (a typical RG).

The guitar is very solid, despite the blows of table / desk / wall it has taken (not used to the head pointed to the beginners!). The knobs are nickel, slecteur DCON a little, sometimes the simple touch of jumps, takes a little beaten up. The jack is solid, that is my Cort dvissait all the time, he holds it in place.
The trick is enjoyable as the tuning, you change the strings, is given slowly, the day after the head is blocked and it puts the tuner. An happiness!

SOUNDS

Step 1: micro base
I liked the bridge pickup, he gave me good sound in clear and distortion (distortion even in large). Just made me a few services, against the neck pickup ... Its pretty clear, in no distortion. Good on my POD y'avait way to find a sound that suited her, but it is frankly not docile.

Step 2: new
I put a PAF Pro in neck, Super II in a rack, and a Fast track 1 between the two ... Nothing to say, his hair cell as I will, although a Paf Pro massive, a II Super loud enough, a Fast Track MODR more ... I like! By POD against my love a little less but that's another story.

I put 8 because of the original microphones

OVERALL OPINION

Mine is 12 years old, I bought it new a year ago and a half to 700. Actually I do not understand how she could stay in the store so long without finding acqureur!

It became really fun to play with the scraper. Before I had a Cort M200 ... Day and night! When I return to the Cort after 2 minutes it's range, jpeux play with!
It's an easy guitar to play, but with great potential, I did not feel limited.

The only thing is he must love the color (mine is "Neon Purple"), so I love me drang has not.
The report qualitprix is ​​great, especially with DiMarzio. I would do without this choice hsiter!

Everything is already said ...

UTILIZATION

Channel fast, flat back, very flat table.
Easy access to acute, with nothing exeptional either (compared to an SG ...)
Ibanez classic shape home, comfortable and light, I am not disappointed.
Its level, the pots are not very accurate. it would have deserved a more knob volume (1 for neck pickup and bridge, 1 for the station).

The vibrato fat10 is a pain ...
As I set very hard and never use!
Set to float, the bends are harder to obtenire must push them to death, we see the bridge rise up!

SOUNDS

Focused HardRock / Metal, both in clean only disto.
I use a Zoom G2.1u, a Behringer GM108 or headphones.
Level sounds, the pickups are distinguished very well. The neck pickup is very serious, very Polivalente the central and the bridge very acute.
I would say that for clean sounds, a central mix with the other two the better.
By distortion, two types of settings:
Rhythm-well bourrines: Neck pickup (+ Central to side sound)
-Solo: Bridge pickup alone, it helps out the artificial harmonics effortlessly

in the whole, the sound is very neutral, I like the fact, and the models are not denatured and settings with sound effects very Simplified.

sound is obtained crystalline type stratum, and in distos, sounds bold: versatile.

Compare that with a replica Jackson (2 pickups single, double) and an Epiphone SG

OVERALL OPINION

Compare that with a replica Jackson (2 pickups single, double) and an Epiphone SG.

The neck is fast, simple to play, easy to be sure to stroll over.
After a Les Paul, a replica of Jackson and SG is the most versatile guitar I had.
... Value is not difficult to do better, knowing that the Ibanez!
This guitar is a gift, I will not buy personal, but now that I possess, I advise all beginners

Fabriquen in Core
Channel 24Cases 2micro doubles (neck and bridge) a simple (Central)
Floyd rose bridge
1 Tone, 1volume, slecteur 5positions
Handle end.

UTILIZATION

Ah! use.
Simply sublime, a handle end and trs enjoyable play, Access in an acute plutt comfortable (even if it will be necessary to force to play the strings at the frets dernires).
Ergonomics are good, not heavy trs etc ...
Personally I get a good sound even when quite easily even if I can take four to hack my amp (Roland Cube 30x)

SOUNDS

I play mainly Blues / Rock / Hard Rock and this guitar suits me perfectly (as it does prcdemment says: Thank slecteur 5positions.), As I said before I play on a Roland Cube 30x.
Sounds obtained at:
The neck pickup provides a warm and round sound clean but drool and distortion sounds in grad (anything with a little distortion is acceptable.)
The Micro simple sounds in both clean distortion with crystal clear sound and clear.
The bridge pickup possde sound sharp and distortion sounds trs well (be it a small distortion, the distortion of a large AC / DC or a distortion typ carrment mtal)
The position intermdiaire Micro Channel / Micro Central is plutt well for a small crunch.
Bridge Pickup Position intermidaire / Micro Central is plutt well for a small blues.
For lack of microphones against the personality ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, many j'apprcie the handle end.
But the lack of microphones personality and if you change the tuning to another (eg moving from a standard tuning tuning one whole step down) it is almost dsaccordera IMMEDIATE on the other hand if you keep still same tuning is a well plutt grant.
I tried two other guitars before buying.
The quality price ratio is normal for guitars in this price range.
With exprience can be in this price range I would take a washburn but if I could I would do this choice.
