Ibanez GIO SERIES, 7 String, Quilted Maple, Fixed Bridge, HH Infinity R, Trans Blue Burst

I'd never played a 7 string before - we got this as an Xmas gift for one of my kids, and as i play guitar too, i had to give it a try.I admit there's a learning curve to trying a 7 string when you're used to 6. It feels a little intimidating with the width of the neck and just working out what the heck to do with that extra string. But man, once you get used to it - metal riffing is just a whole new level, even for a "basement amateur" like me.This guitar played well right out of the box. No need to adjust the action or anything. I'm no expert, but the neck and body feel really well crafted for a guitar of this price point. The pickup selector options are great - i'm predominately a neck pickup sorta guy and the tones this guitar can put out in different pickup selections is outstanding.Highly recommend if you're looking for a budget 7 string that plays like a pro! Ibanez have always been known for their quality and this model keeps that reputation alive.

If you order one of these, thoroughly inspect it for damage as soon as it arrives. I found several places where the body was scuffed up. The strap button on the bottom was installed crooked. Fret board was chipped here and there. Found sharpie ink around the neck bolts where it had been touched up. A sharpie, really? Overall, it's a very nice instrument for the price but Ibanez' QC is a joke. It's worth the money but know that you may have to return it as soon as it arrives.

Great product, well built, amazing value for money.

Beautiful guitar! I love it already!

初めて購入する７弦ギターです。いきなり高額モデルを買うのも怖かったので、このモデルを購入しました。アイバニーズは他にSAシリーズを持っているので、安心感はありました。ネックのねじれはないし、フレットエンドのエッジもきちんと落としてありました。オクターブ調整もきちんとされていて、出荷時にきちんと調整してくれたようです。自分で調整したのは弦髙をぐらいです。ピックアップは多少出力不足かもしれません。…でも、エフェクターで音色いじってしまうので気になりません。ボリューム、トーンのポッドも滑らかに回りガリもありません。ハムノイズもほとんどなく、この値段としては及第点以上です。ボディはとっても軽く、楽チンです♪なのでバランス的に、若干ヘッド落ちします。今日届いたばかりで、もうちょっと弾き込んで見ないとわかりませんが、とにかく良い買い物ができました。ありがとうございました。
