Ibanez RG7221WH GIO 7-String Electric Guitar White

Thrilled to receive this item not only in perfect condition but ahead of schedule. 🤘I have never bought a guitar online but decided to take a chance bc this 7 string priced at $250 is an absolute steal. Perfect for a beginner/intermediate level player who plays as a hobby. However, this guitar is gig worthy and looks fantastic.IMO Ibanez has cornered the market with reasonably priced guitars of quality. My first 6 string RG bought 30 years ago which I still play today with mods of course. Taken care of, these guitars last.Back the the review…Def apprehensive bc it is not sold with a case for protection. However, package received, the guitar is packed well and wrapped. Total plus. I may buy a mid grade case in a few weeks.Perfect condition not one ding or dent. Paint job. Perfect, smooth and polished. All frets are filed. No sharp edges. Intonation and tuning perfect to BEADGBE no buzz. Tuning keys no give. Perfectly smooth when turned. The pickups are actually ok for stock. Fine for out of the box but I am confident this guitar can be upgraded down the line as I hotrodded my first Ibanez with Seymour Duncan’s way back when with ease.I decided to tune down to ADGCFAD. I like low and melodic notes and tones. Surprisingly not as much buzz as I thought I was going to get. With a slight trus adjustment can be worked out.I highly reco this guitar. I like the GIO series for the money. I own guitars with Floyd Rose. If I feel like it, I will consider the UNIVERSE series. I must say I am thrilled to have this guitar that can be tuned quickly without the fuss of a trem system.A huge reason why this guitar has many many 4.5-5 star reviews and the stock is low. I was waiting for a while and finally was able to get one.One of my better Amazon purchases.Play on 🤘

Especially for this price.Overall in general - 8/10Overall for the price - 9.5/10

The media could not be loaded. I bought this thing expecting it to be alright at best. This thing plays better than my type E Solar and plays up to standard with my ESP Phoenix. The neck is smooth, the strings never get that dull sound that cheap guitars usually get, the pickups are good, frets don't slice your hand open, no tuning issues, came out the box intonated. I had the factory strings on for 5 months before i changed them, and it wasn't even because they sounded dull. This guitar is a workhorse and ibanez rules the cheap guitar market.

Surprisingly well finished for the price. Neck is smooth, even, straight and well finished. Fretwork is pretty good. Paint job is flawless.I needed to dress a couple of high frets and give the truss rod 1/8 of a turn to get the action down to 2mm at the 12th fret. I strung it with D'Addario 10-59 nickel wounds. The pickups have pretty decent output. Tuners are cheap but seem to hold tune well once you've restrung it and stretched the strings properly.This is my first foray into 7 string guitar, and I'm totally happy with my purchase. Excellent quality for what I paid for it.

Mine had fret buzz on the first fret, . After some trust rod adjustment I was able to get the strings off the frets. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. Simple and it has 5 way switch, great first 7 string guitar with some work needed.

For the price its actually a nice guitar. It is set up well and the fret work is clean and leveled nicely. If curious about playing a 7 string and are cost conscience, this is a great deal.

I was amazed at the build quality at this price point. I played on RG Ibanez 7 strings and this actually was built just as well as the 500 dollar versions. the only slight drawback being the pickups low end not being as crisp. And to mention the intonation was set perfectly from factory so props ibanez!

CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE. no room to complain at this price. The guitar plays fine and sounds fine. I've had and played more expensive and I see no reason to not buy this if you are on a budget. One should learn all the ins and outs on setting up a guitar and upgrading parts anyways. This is a safe start for that if you do end up not being satisfied with the components.
