Audience:
Beginners
The Ibanez GIO GRG170DX maple neck has a fine and pleasant, perfect for beginners Shred.
Basswood body full HSH configuration (humbucker single humbucker):
-Ibanez humbucker neck pickup PSND1, I don 'serves little but it has high output and a very nice clean sound in middle position with the bridge pickup;
Micro-NSDP Ibanez single coil center, perfect for clean sounds but do not s waiting to foil a pickup of strata, although it is a good compromise;
-Bridge pickup Ibanez PSND2, built for distortion, high output, tolerates the overdrive as well as big distos metal.
Bridge Ibanez Fat 10, can be up and the lower or only the lower depending on the setting, but beware désacordage although it is still very enjoyable.
24 frets, which I find very convenient for the shred.
A very responsive tone knob, great for refining the sound, volume, and traditional 5-way switch.
UTILIZATION
The handle is nice and fast for a guitar this price, the solos go alone and rhythm are holding up well. The ergonomics are quite good with easy access and a sharp cut in the cash for the arm. It is still pretty heavy for a Super-Strat I think, but this is not a fatal flaw. Easily obtained good clean sound as well that in distortion, the crunch of deep distos.
SOUNDS
This guitar should pretty well to my style of music (metal, thrash, melodic) thanks to a microphone level output that does not move my face MetalZone Boss. But the key word of this guitar is the versatility it is suitable metal, rock, hard rock, pop rock, a little funk that this is not his strong point, and I m can not express the blues jazz because I don 't play it. I love the grain of the micro bridge with heavy distos and that of micro center with overdrive. I find the sounds of the intermediate position + neck pickup micro center in its clean just great and very beautiful. I like the sound of the less pickup in its clean.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year and I must say that that is a superb value for money. This guitar is perfect for beginners and provides an easy and enjoyable approach of shred. She is now starting to not suit me too because of my experience and increasing e would look today a true type guitar metal and / or shred but tuojours in Ibanez. Very good and very versatile guitar but ls for beginners anyway.
