Description

The Ibanez GRGR221FA is a sleek, high-performance RG-style electric guitar that brings classic Ibanez speed and aggression into an affordable GIO Series package. With its slim Roasted Maple neck and powerful IBZ-6 humbuckers, it is built for players who want fast playability, modern metal tones and rock-solid reliability without breaking the bank. It’s perfect if you’re stepping up from your first guitar or just looking for a stealthy-looking workhorse for rehearsals and gigs.

Roasted Maple neck

The neck is heat treated for improved stability, durability and resistance to changes in temperature and humidity. That means you won’t have to tinker with the setup of this guitar much at all, letting you play with a consistent feel. The neck’s slim carve and non-sticky satin polyurethane finish feel fast and smooth under the hand too, making long practice sessions and demanding gigs more comfortable.

Okoume body, stunning top!

The Flamed Maple Art Grain (basswood) top gives the GRGR221FA-TDK a premium, stage-ready appearance — especially under lights. While the Okoume body delivers a bright, solid sound with plenty of attack. This combination helps riffs stay tight and defined, so your playing cuts through dense band mixes.

IBZ-6 pickups & F106 fixed bridge

A pair of passive IBZ-6 humbuckers provide punchy rhythm sounds to singing lead tones. Combined with the F106 fixed bridge, which enriches sustain and allows for precise individual string height adjustment, you get a reliable, tuning stable platform that’s ideal for heavy styles and alternate tunings.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
