Ibanez are most renowned for their cutting-edge shred machines. However, they also cater for the more traditional players looking for something not quite as flamboyant. The GIO Series GAX30-TCR fits the bill, perfect for the beginner or intermediate looking for a versatile guitar that doesn't break the bank.
Formed from a Poplar body with a Maple neck, this tonewood pairing ensures bright, crystal clear tones - letting you cut through nicely in a live mix. This serves as the ideal foundation for the dark, thick-sounding Infinity R humbuckers, meaning that you'll get a balanced tone appropriate for a range of styles.
Here's what Ibanez say about the GIO Series GAX30-TCR in Transparent Cherry:
A guitar doesn't have to cost a bundle to sound good. The GIO series was developed for players who want Ibanez quality in a more affordable package. Not only do they look and play better than everything else in their price range, but their rigorous inspection, set-up and warranty is the same as Ibanez's more expensive models.
