The Ibanez Gio GRG M21 Micro Black Night is an electric guitar. This is a small guitar but powerfully loud Designed for budding rock ugitarists with its micro size at 22" scale, it' works well as a travel guitar for the more qualified player. The Infinity R pick-ups provide a much better overall sound with sweet cleans and a pretty decent distortion tone as well. When it comes to Ibanez they treat even the lower-ranged guitars with as much care and attention as they do the expensive models. The GRGM21-WH has superb build quality with a fantastic sound.
The main features of the Ibanez Gio GRG-M21 BKN Black Night include:
Lovely little thing, great for son to learn on and I can always use it as a travel guitar. Setup is poor out of the box, changing to a heavier gage string improves the performance. Overall very pleased with the guitar.
Good entry level guitar for 6 years+.
I would suggest changing the strings for a heavier gauge (10 or 11) as the stock 9’s go out of tune due regularly to the nature of it being a short scale guitar.
Well finished, although I did lower the action on the saddles and had to correct the intonation a little bit. Neck is straight and frets have no sharp edges.
Pickups are ok, a little bit lacking in clarity and noisy, but to be expected on a guitar in the price range.
Overall a good entry level guitar for a younger player or someone with smaller hands.
